Research area Materials Chemistry

"Materials for a sustainable society" The scientists at Stockholm University address issues related to energy storage and conversion, a clean environment, and improved human health, addressing important social development goals.

In materials chemistry, we have five focus areas: Green material synthesis, Materials for Environment, Materials for Energy, Materials for Health, and Processing of recycled and bio-based materials.

Green material synthesis

Research at Stockholm University focuses on the development of Green Chemistry synthesis routes and sustainable processing methods with reduced impact on humans and environment.

Materials for Energy

"Materials for a sustainable society" Energy-related materials research at Stockholm University spans a broad spectrum from energy savings, to conversion, to storage.

Materials for Environment

"Materials for a sustainable society" Research at Stockholm University on materials for environment involves sustainable materials for water purification, air purification, CO2 capture and microplastics removal.

Materials for Health

Research on materials for health at Stockholm University focuses on the design, synthesis and evaluation of advanced materials that can contribute to improved diagnostics, prevention and treatment of disease. The field brings together chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, biology and medicine to develop materials that interact with biological systems in controlled and useful ways.

Processing of recycled and bio-based materials

Research on the processing of recycled and bio-based materials at Stockholm University focuses on developing new methods with a reduced environmental foot-print.
