Welcome to CarboCat
Mission
The purpose of our research is to understand and optimize carbons and catalysts for applications in energy, environmental and materials industries. In particular, we strive to develop less expensive products from abundant domestic resources such as biomass and coal. We also provide consulting and advising services in these areas to both public and private institutions.
CarboCat: a research laboratory since 2007
Featured
new equipment
Our laboratory closed the semester with three new equipments: a new surface area and pore size measuring equipment, a new gas chromatograph, which will be used for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol and light olefins, and the last equipment, which was a project led by Prof. Alejandro Karelovic and Romel Jiménez, was the assembly of a Mass Spectrometer.
Carbocat trip 2024
On Friday, January 26th we had our traditional trip to end our successful academic year. In this trip we had the opportunity to share and enjoy a day full of activities with the great majority of those who belong to our laboratory. We will be back in March to do more catalysis! see our photos here
