PiMPaM members and some friends (out of the picture) enjoyed a nice afternoon of "pinchos" and "Paella". Unfortunately, Alicia was not able to come. We all send you lots of strength and encouragement.
17/07/2023: Research funds renewed
We have just been awarded a project presented in the last call for "Proyectos Generación de Conocimiento" from the Spanish government. In PHOTOCOF4WATER (ref. PID2022-141016OB-I00) we will carry out the synthesis and characterization of new covalent organic framework type materials, and we will study their applications for the photoremediation of contaminated water. More Science is coming!
