Marco Montalti

Marco Montalti is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Bologna. The main research topics of his group are the design, production, and characterization of Vis-NIR photoactive and/or stimuli responsive supramolecular and nanostructured architectures and nanocomposites. Applications of these materials include photocatalysis for energy conversion and environmental remediation, bioimaging and theragnostic.

Moreno Guernelli graduated in Photochemistry and Molecular Materials and he is now a PhD student in the group of Prof. Marco Montalti. His research is mostly devoted to photoactive coatings for decontamination of real surfaces (e. g. cement, steel, glass and wood) from bacteria and viruses. He studied new photo-sensitizers to extend the photocatalytic activity of metal-oxide nanoparticles to the visible and near-infrared.
