Laécio Santos Cavalcante – Methods of Synthesis – Best Researcher Award

Laécio Santos Cavalcante – Methods of Synthesis – Best Researcher Award

Assoc prof Dr. Laecio santos Cavalcante distinguished academic and researcher in the field Method of Synthesis. He holds a degree in Chemistry from the State University of Piauí (UESPI) obtained in 2002.2, completed a Master’s in Physical Chemistry at the Federal University of Piauí (UFPI) in 2005.1, and earned his PhD in Sciences with a concentration in Inorganic Chemistry from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar-SP) in 2009.2. He has completed 3 years of Postdoctoral work at the São Paulo State University of Araraquara (UNESP-SP) in 2012.2 and undertook a 7-month regional and scientific development project (DCR) via the Foundation for Research Support of the State of Piauí (FAPEPI) at UFPI in 2013.1.

Currently, he is a permanent Adjunct Professor of Chemistry (level 03) at UESPI, Poeta Torquato Neto Campus (Teresina), in the Centre for Natural Sciences (CCN) since 2013.2. He is currently researching the following inorganic materials: oxides from the Scheelite/Wolframite families with the general formula [ABO4], tungstates and molybdates with the formulas [A2BO4/A2B3O12], and also some Perovskites with the general formula [ABO3]. His main objective is the structural/electronic analysis and investigation of the photoluminescent and photocatalytic properties of these materials in ordered and/or disordered forms. Additionally, he studies the influence of different compositions of network modifiers (A = Ca, Ba, Sr, Pb, Cd, Ni, Sn, Co, In, Y, Zn, Fe, Bi, Co, Ag, and Mn) and network formers (B = Ti, Zr, W, and Mo) on the electronic structure and physicochemical properties of these ceramic materials. The main synthesis methods he uses are: Polymeric precursors, sonochemical, precipitation, co-precipitation, conventional hydrothermal/solvothermal, and microwave-assisted hydrothermal/solvothermal methods.
