CEA Group investigates the fundamental chemical processes and mechanisms occurring in water, air, and soil. A key focus of our research is the influence of sunlight on environmental dynamics. Alongside this, we explore innovative processes and technologies for environmental remediation, bridging fundamental and applied research. Our group brings together a multidisciplinary team driven by the challenges of environmental protection and the development of energy technologies for a more sustainable future. CEA Group is based at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Turin.

We are proud to announce that the work conducted by Dr. Pellegrino and Dr. Corrao and coordinated by the BAM Institute and the Freie Universitӓt Berlin has been selected for the front cover of Small Methods. Our researchers have been working on the preparation of graphene-based materials functionalized with fluorine and amino groups within the ACCORDs project. Additionally, Dr. Dmitry Muratov and prof. Valter Maurino with prof. A. Castellero published an interesting paper in ACS Applied Electronic Materials on fast-response, flexible resistive humidity sensors based on quasi-1D Zr₁₋ₓTiₓS₃ nanoswords capable of detecting water vapor and with promising applications in environmental monitoring, wearables, and breath sensing.
