Facilities & Infrastructure
An experimentally complete platform.
From bench-scale synthesis to synchrotron beamtime, the group operates across an integrated stack of methods and international infrastructure.
In-house & Access
Capabilities.
The group combines in-house instrumentation at ICP-CSIC with a sustained user programme at European large-scale facilities. This dual access underpins methodological development and rapid experimental turnover.
Synchrotron Total Scattering & PDF
Regular user programme at multiple European synchrotrons for high-energy X-ray total scattering.
X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy
XANES and EXAFS at metal K- and L-edges for oxidation state and coordination analysis.
Powder X-ray Diffraction
In-house lab diffraction, variable temperature and controlled atmosphere.
Operando Cells
Custom-designed reaction cells for simultaneous structural and catalytic measurements.
Gas Adsorption
N₂, CO₂ and vapour adsorption for porosity and surface area characterization.
Vibrational Spectroscopy
FT-IR and Raman with in-situ capabilities for guest–framework studies.
Materials Synthesis
Solvothermal, mechanochemical and post-synthetic routes to MOFs and COFs.
Catalytic Testing
Fixed-bed and batch reactors with online product analysis.
Data & Computational Support
PDFgui, TOPAS, Athena/Artemis, DFT and structure modelling workflows.
International Research Infrastructure
Access to world-leading synchrotron facilities.
Through long-standing collaborations and competitively awarded beamtime, our group performs advanced experiments at leading synchrotron facilities across Europe and the United States.
