Tailoring of nanostructures with implications in catalysis, including nanoparticles and two-dimensional systems (MXenes, graphene, graphynes, grazynes, and COFs). Analysis of the properties with size, morphology, and composition. Study of the quantum confinement and its impact on the resulting electronic properties of semiconducting nanostructures (i.e., ZnO, TiO2, WO3) and charge transport on the 2D materials.
