Curriculum Vitae

Sílvia Cristina Cláudio Nunes

I graduated in Industrial Chemistry at the UBI in 2002. While graduation student I received two Best Student awards from UBI in the 2000/2001 and 2001/2002 courses. In September 2008 I obtained my PhD. degree in Chemistry from the UTAD, with a classification of Passed with Distinction and Praise. Since 2002, I have done research in the scientific area of Advanced Materials Chemistry. In the last decade I have performed intense research, using sol-gel chemistry and self-directed assembly (template-directed assembly and self-direct assembly)/self-organization approaches, to develop complex organized organic-inorganic hybrid materials (non-bridged and bridged silsesquioxanes) with hierarchical structures, well-defined morphologies, and tunable mechanical, structural and optical properties. As post-doctoral FCT fellows of Projects FCT (POCTI-01-0145-FEDER-016884 and POCI-01-0145-FEDER-016422), I have become also deeply interested in the investigation of polysaccharide-based membranes and amorphous organic/inorganic hybrids materials incorporating ionic salts and/or lanthanide complexes and/or ionic liquids, targeting applications of these materials as electrolytes in electrochemical devices, such as batteries, fuel cells, luminescent electrochromic devices (ECDs). Since June 2016, started to develop unprecedented near-infrared (NIR) emitting ECDs with uninterrupted solar NIR admission, and independent potential-controlled visible light blocking function, providing 3 modes: bright hot (NIR and visible light admitted), semi-bright warm (NIR and visible light semi-blocked) and dark cool (visible and NIR light blocked). In the last two years I produced superhydrophobic materials by modifying the morphology of the materials according the surface of a numerous series of leaves and petals (Arundo donax, gladiolus and Iris). I am highly skilled in the following techniques: vibrational spectroscopy, thermal analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and static contact angle.
