Dr. Neus Crespí Sánchez — PhD in Materials Chemistry, with experience in academic research and industrial R&D.
About me
Graduate in Chemistry from the UIB with the Extraordinary Award and PhD Cum Laude in Materials Chemistry. After research stays at KU Leuven and IMDEA Energía and a period in industry (Nanomate by Phi4Tech), I currently combine research and teaching at the UIB.
Career
Extraordinary End-of-Degree Award.
Excellent Cum Laude and International Mention (FPU). Research stays at KU Leuven (Belgium) and IMDEA Energía.
Development of hard carbon for sodium-ion batteries, within the European PERTE project alongside SEAT CUPRA.
Research on MOF-derived materials for water treatment, combined with teaching.
Research lines
MOF-derived hybrid materials for the adsorption and degradation of emerging pollutants in water.
Design and post-synthetic modification of metal-organic frameworks, including CVD and high-throughput synthesis.
Integration of functional materials into real devices through 3D printing and hybrid membranes.
Hard carbon for sodium-ion batteries and proton membranes for electrochemical devices.
My approach
Designing a good material in the lab is not enough: from the very start, you have to think about how it will get to solve a real problem.

Each article summarizes one of my scientific publications in plain language, with a link to the original paper.
A single gram of a MOF holds more internal surface area than a tennis court. Here is how we design them to trap the pollutants ordinary filters miss.
