Eliana Sousa da Silva wins a Best Poster Award at CarboCat-VIII

June 26-29, 2018

Eliana Sousa da Silva was prized with a Best Poster Award, attributed by the International Scientific Committee of the 8th International Symposium on Carbon for Catalysis, CarboCat–VIII, held in Porto – Portugal from 26 to 29 June.

The award comprises a certificate and a monetary prize, kindly sponsored by Catalysts (MDPI).

The work presented at this conference, entitled "Tuning the properties of g-C3N4 for enhanced photocatalytic production of H2 from water" is a result of a joint collaboration with researchers from several institutions, namely Professor Manuel Prieto (CQFM-IN and IBB, Instituto Superior Técnico Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal), Professor Ana Coutinho (CQFM-IN and IBB, Instituto Superior Técnico, and Faculty of Sciences, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal), Doctor Claudia H. Sawnson (Institut für Chemie, Otto-von-Guericke Universität Magdeburg, Germany), Doctor Cláudia G. Silva (LSRE-LCM) and Professor Joaquim L. Faria (LSRE-LCM).

Eliana Sousa da Silva is currently a Post-Doctoral Researcher at LSRE-LCM, working under the guidance of Professor Joaquim L. Faria in the field of photocatalytic water splitting to produce solar fuels, namely hydrogen.

LA LSRE-LCM congratulates Eliana for the award received at CarboCat-VIII!
