Glass-ceramics for optics and photonics

Rare-earth (RE) doped oxyfluoride glass-ceramics possess interesting optical properties with application in telecommunications and optoelectronics. These materials combine the transparency and mechanical and chemical resistance of aluminosilicate glasses with the low phonon energy and facile incorporation of RE ions [...]

Inorganic and hybrid membranes for PEMFC, DAFC and AMEFC

Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) is the main candidate to power electric vehicles. Modification of Nafion type membranes and development of new inorganic and hybrid organic/inorganic nanostructured membranes through a combination of inorganic alkoxides, organically modified alkoxides and [...]

Industrial collaboration: energy saving and food safety

Energy saving is an essential goal of energy intensive industrial processes, including glass melting processes. There is a strong interaction and collaboration with glass producers to enhance the efficiency of melting processes by different routes. We analyze the effect [...]

Electrodes and electrolytes for for M- ion (Li, Na) and M-air batteries

Li-ion micro-batteries made-up using only solid-state materials by a thin-film process have recently become a topic of widespread research for use in low power applications. Novel mesoporous nanocrystalline architectures thin films such as Li4Ti5O12 (anode) and LiFePO4 (cathode) and solid [...]

Archaeometry and conservation of historical glass

Stained-glass windows and glass objects are related to luxurious objects along the history and their study offers a unique opportunity to understand this important heritage and to prevent their decay. This research line, launched by the ComFuturo research project EnViCET, [...]

Special issue in Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids “12th International Symposium on Crystallization in Glasses and Liquids (Crystallization 2017)”

This special issue comprises 24 selected articles from those presented in the International conference “Crystallization 2017” organized by the Spanish Society of Ceramics and Glass (SECV) under the auspices of the International Commission on Glass (ICG) and celebrated in Segovia [...]
