Main capacities in <strong>nanotechnology</strong>/nanoscience<br />
INAEL has created a Division <strong>of</strong> Advanced Materials, stemming from <strong>the</strong> ceramic semiconductor<br />
manufacturing plant that has been producing ZnO-based polycrystalline semiconductors for <strong>the</strong> last 12<br />
years.<br />
We have focused on <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> a new generation <strong>of</strong> durable, low-cost/high efficiency/solaractive<br />
photocatalyst materials based on new forms <strong>of</strong> TiO 2 , ei<strong>the</strong>r as hierarchical microspheres, selfassembled<br />
from nano-building blocks or as morphology controlled anatase nanoparticles exposing high<br />
percentages <strong>of</strong> reactive facets. In all cases production routes are mild, environmentally friendly, easily<br />
scalable and do not make use <strong>of</strong> aggressive or harmful surfactants. Doping and extension <strong>of</strong> optical<br />
absorption towards <strong>the</strong> visible range is also achieved through low-cost/high-yield processes.<br />
