Our research primarily focuses on the development of advanced functional materials using sol–gel chemistry for environmental and catalytic applications. The work centers on organically modified silica matrices (ORMOSILs) and the incorporation of transition-metal nanoparticles to create hybrid catalytic systems with enhanced reactivity, selectivity, and stability. We have extensively studied the reductive degradation of halogenated organic pollutants, including haloacetic acids and nitroaromatic compounds, using embedded catalysts such as Cu, Ni, Fe, Ag and so on within mesoporous silicate frameworks. A significant part of our work also involves designing electron-exchange matrices and studying electrochemical behaviors to improve catalytic pathways in aqueous environments. Dr. Albo’s contributions demonstrate a multidisciplinary approach, combining inorganic chemistry, materials science, and environmental remediation, with particular emphasis on the design of heterogeneous catalysts for green and sustainable chemistry.
