From Valencia to Dublin: Ana Primo and Hermenegildo García contribute to EuroMXene 2026 in Dublin

June, 4, 2026

This morning, Dr Ana Primo and Prof. Hermenegildo García contributed to the scientific programme of EuroMXene 2026, held at Trinity College Dublin, with two talks reflecting HG Energy’s research activity in MXenes and advanced 2D materials.

Dr Ana Primo, participating as an Invited Speaker, delivered the lecture “Engineering MXenes for Thermal and Photothermal Catalysis”. Prof. Hermenegildo García also presented the talk “MXenes in Photocatalysis: Emerging 2D Nanomaterials as Co-Catalysts, Heterojunction Engineering and Photothermal Enhancement”.

Their participation is especially meaningful for HG Energy. Ana Primo and Hermenegildo García were the initiators of EuroMXene 2024 in Valencia, the first EuroMXene congress held in Europe. That first edition created a dedicated European meeting point for the MXene community, bringing together leading researchers and opening a space for scientific exchange around one of the most active areas in materials science.

We are very proud to see how that initiative has continued and grown into EuroMXene 2026 in Dublin, thanks to the work of Prof. Valeria Nicolosi and the organising team at Trinity College Dublin, who have carried the conference forward with great commitment.

The scientific quality of this edition is exceptional, with outstanding contributions covering MXene synthesis, characterisation, catalysis, energy applications, electronics, sensing, biomedical materials and other emerging directions in 2D materials research.

From HG Energy, we warmly thank Valeria Nicolosi, the full organising committee, the scientific board, speakers and participants for making EuroMXene 2026 such a strong and inspiring event for the international MXene community.
