Jonathan Ruiz Esquius achieved his degree in Chemistry (2012), the master in Chemical Experiments (2013) and the master of Industrial Chemistry and Introduction to Chemical Research (2014) at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Spain). He then moved to the Cardiff Catalysis Institute (Wales, United Kingdom), where he received his PhD in 2019 for his work in Catalysis to produce solar fuels: from the production of hydrogen via water splitting, to hydrogen conversion to methanol by its reaction with carbon dioxide.

He then remained at the Cardiff Catalysis Institute as a research assistant working in the use of heterogeneous catalysis for the synthesis of synthetic fuels, we he was involved in the following projects: New trimetallic nanoparticles as catalysts for the conversion of carbon dioxide to renewable fuels, and Flexible routes to liquid fuels from carbon dioxide by advanced catalysis and engineering. In 2021, he joined the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (Portugal) to work on the design of electrocatalysts with reduced iridium-loading for OER. Recently, we joined the Carbon Science and Technology Institute (INCAR) in Oviedo (Spain) as a ComFuturo Researcher (III edition) to develop his project “Nanoparticulate high entropy materials as low-loading Ir/Ru oxygen evolution catalysts in acid media“. The list of publications that resulted from the research he was involved in can be found at ORCID (https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3809-5389).
