Siglinda PERATHONERSiglinda PERATHONER earned her PhD in Chemical Sciences in 1988,
working on the photophysics and photochemistry of supramolecular systems with
V. Balzani and the Nobel Prize J.M. Lehn. She joined the University of
Messina in 2001 and is currently a full professor of Industrial Chemistry.
She has coordinated many
European projects and is currently the coordinator of the OCEAN European
project on new industrial electrocatalytic pathways for CO2
conversion leading to the realisation of a demo unit. She has been active for
over 30 years in the field of catalysis and is the author of about 400
publications, several in the top 1%, and over 500 communications at
international conferences. She is a co-editor of several books or special
issues of international catalysis journals. Additionally, she is a co-author
of numerous highly cited papers in international journals and has been the
chair of several international conferences, workshops and symposiums on
catalysis.
She is the editor of the
Wiley VCH book "Sustainable Industrial Chemistry", the Wiley &
Sons book "Green Carbon Dioxide: Advances in CO2 Utilisation"
and the Elsevier book "Horizons in Sustainable Industrial Chemistry and
Catalysis". She has contributed to various encyclopedias, including
"Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by catalytic processes" in
the Handbook of Climate Change Mitigation and "Artificial Leaves"
in the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. She co-chaired
Europacat 2017, an important event in the Catalysis community, and was chair
of several other conferences.
The current h-index is 83 (53
from 2020), with about 31,000 citations (Google Scholar Aug 25) and
i10-index 331. Publications in many high IF journals such as Nature Catal.,
Nature Comm, EES, etc. Among the prizes and recognitions were the Special
Award in 2008 from "The Altran Foundation for Innovation" for the
project on the development of artificial leaves for the conversion of CO2;
the participation in 2011 in the film "NanoInLife" produced by the
European Commission to show the results of nanotechnologies to the public;
the Mario Giacomo Levi Medal of the Italian Chemical Society of 2021 for the
innovative activity that led to industrial achievements, and in 2021 the
President's International Fellowship Initiative (PIFI) of the CAS (Chinese
Academy as Visiting Scientists).
Her research interests
include nanostructured oxides and nanocarbons for catalytic applications,
particularly in the photo and electrocatalytic sectors, where solar energy is
used to convert CO2, H2O, and N2.
