The Grupo de Fotoquímica of the Sociedade Portuguesa de Química (SPQ) and the Grupo Especializado de Fotoquimica (GRUFO) of the Real Sociedad Española de Química (RSEQ) organized the VIth Jornadas Ibéricas de Fotoquímica (6'JIF) that took place at University of Aveiro from September 12th to 14th, 2018.

Eliana S. Da Silva (Postodoctoral Researcher) was prized with the Best Poster Award attributed by the International Scientific Committee of the “VIth Jornadas Ibéricas de Fotoquímica”.

The work presented at this conference entitled “g-C₃N₄/Zn₂Al-LDH 2D/2D heterojunction for light-induced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution” is a result of a joint collaboration with researchers from several institutions, namely Claudia H. Swanson (Institut für Chemie, Otto-von-Guericke, Universität de Magdeburg, Germany), Manuel Prieto (CQFM-IN and IBB; Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal), Ana Coutinho (CQFM-IN and IBB; Instituto Superior Técnico and Faculdade de Ciências, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal) and Joaquim L. Faria (Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM, Departamento de Engenharia Química, Faculdade de Engenharia, Universidade do Porto).

LA LSRE-LCM congratulates Eliana for the award received at 6´JIF!

Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM congratulates Margarida Linhares de Andrade Rocha e Silva for her PhD thesis defense on 8th October 2018 at FEUP.

Margarida finished her Doctoral Program in Chemical and Biological Engineering, with the PhD thesis entitled ''Nitrogen-Doped Graphene as Metal Free Carbon-Nanocatalysts'', supervised by Prof. Fernando Pereira (LSRE-LCM) and co-supervised by Prof. Cristina Freire (REQUIMTE/LAQV, FCUP).

The staff and team of LA LSRE-LCM wish Margarida a successful and bright life ahead!
