Bonacin Research Group

Our Research Group

We are employing efforts to produce oxygen and hydrogen from water. We are developing inorganic materials to use in studies of water splitting through the electrochemical approach.

Know our research

We have been working last years in electrocatalisis using nanomaterials and coordination compounds, because of this, nowadays we are focusing our efforts in order to study the water splitting process.

Open Positions

Motivated individuals to do high quality research and interested in solving problems in chemistry are welcome. Candidates with background in chemistry, biochemistry or physics are encouraged to apply.

Prof. Juliano A. Bonacin

Prof. Bonacin is BS in Chemistry (2002 - UEM), received his PhD degree in 2007 (USP) and was Postdoctoral Fellow between 2007 and 2009 (USP). He started one of the first companies in the Nanotechnology field in Brazil and nowaday he has a permanent position as assistant professor at Institute of Chemistry - UNICAMP

Our group

We are the best group ever! Our research group is formed by undergraduate students, graduate researchers and highly qualified technicians. Our work dynamics promotes an excellent environment to do high-quality research and provides conditions to improve professional and personal skills

Facilities

We have the appropriate facilities to perform the state-of-art research in chemistry. We have a well-equipped laboratory and we have access to the Open Facility of the Institute of Chemistry - Unicamp. In addition, we have the support of the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory and a network of collaborators spread in Brazil.

Who support us ?

We receive financial support from funding agencies of Brazil such as CAPES, CNPq, FAEPEX (PRP-Unicamp), IAESTE and FAPESP or from Companies. The candidates can apply for the scholarship in Brazil, according to the Brazilian rules. We receive also visitors from Brazil or abroad with the own grant

“We believe that the solutions must consider multidisciplinary skills, simplicity, objectivity, be sustainable and provide professional development. Thus, we see a huge opportunity to receive investments and to create value to the society”
