Professor Marcos May Lozano's research work is mainly focused on the study of photocatalysis. His research is based on the use of titania with metals, trying to improve its photocatalytic properties. In his group, they chemically remove several pollutants but mainly work on degrading dyes. They use the sol-gel method to prepare the titania, and we characterize the photocatalysts with various spectroscopic techniques.

He has investigated various materials such as alumina, silicoaluminates, titania, SiO2-TiO2, and ZnO. In photocatalytic studies, he has doped titania with Fe, Cu, Ni, Al, Ag, Au, B, Na, Eu, rare earth, graphene, and carbon nanotubes.

He is a Chemical Engineer in Processes and has a Master's degree in Petroleum Technology.
Doctorate in Chemical Sciences (Catalysis). He did a Post-Doctorate at the University of California (Berkeley) with Professor Enrique Iglesia, and another Post-Doctorate at the University of Barcelona in theoretical research with Dr. Francesc Illas Riera.
