Dr. Heriberto Pfeiffer

Investigador Titular C

I am a Professor of the Instituto de Investigaciones en Materiales from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México at Mexico City.

I work on different sorption and catalytic processes for energetic and environmental applications. My research has been focused on CO₂ capture and its possible conversion to added value products. However, in the last couple of years, I have been working on different catalytic processes complementing the CO₂ capture process. Some examples of these catalytic reactions are; reforming of organic molecules, CO oxidation-chemisorption process as a possible syngas separation, NO_x reduction and H₂ production.

Additionally, I am interested in high temperature dense membranes for CO₂ separation and in the biodiesel production using different basic heterogeneous catalysts. Finally, I work with different lithium and sodium ceramics of possible use as cathodes within the alkaline battery systems.
