Gianvito Vilé, Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering “Giulio Natta”, has received ERC Starting Grant, awarded by the European Research Council (ERC) - the European Union organisation that rewards talented scholars engaged in cutting-edge research - to early-career researchers with highly promising scientific records and two to seven years of experience since completion of their doctorate.

SAC_2.0 (Single-Atom Catalysis for a new generation of chemical processes) the project engages in researching “single atom” catalysers: innovative materials with great potential for sustainable chemical transformations. The SAC_2.0 project aims to bring light to important scientific unknowns, including on the reactive structure of single atom materials, in particular developing methodologies for micro-fabrication in synthesising and functionalisation. Possible applications for these catalysts include use in conversion of CO2 as value-added products and development of “green” pharmaceutical synthesis methods.
