Partners

PhotoSpinner is an initiative that arises from FuniMat in partnership with AIDIMME, who, within the framework of its research projects, found that none of the existing benchtop photoreactors on the market meets all the necessary characteristics to carry out the heterogeneous photoreduction of CO₂ by HTS methodology.

FuniMat is a research group part of the Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol) at the Universidad de Valencia (UV). Its research encompasses different targets ranging from the synthesis, characterization and nanostructuration of inorganic, porous materials.

AIDIMME is a technological institute that supports metalworking, furniture, wood, and packaging sectors. It promotes innovation and competitiveness through research, development, training, and consulting, aiming to enhance industry growth and modernization.

Collaborators

Juliá Research Group

The Juliá group focuses on developing sustainable manufacturing methods for essential products by replacing precious metals like palladium with Earth-abundant metals. They aim to exploit the photochemistry of first-row metal complexes, using visible light to create efficient and eco-friendly catalytic processes, addressing significant global challenges in chemistry and industry.
