Thesis defense

We are pleased to announce and invite you to the Thesis Defense of Mr. José Luis Ropero.

Mr. Ropero's investigation focused on the study of the photoelectric properties of films of Bi-Nb-M-O (M=Al, Fe, Ga & In) mixed oxides for hydrogen production via phenol photoelectrolysis.

Within the frame of his work, Mr. Ropero published the following papers:
