Abstract
Purpose: to establish and review the current status of nanotechnologies applied to the energy sector in Mexico, from Research and Development (R&S) to patents and devices available in the market.
Methodology: a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications was carried out, data on research groups on the subject were collected, a patent catalog was conformed and, finally, a description of the Mexican companies that produce instruments and devices to generate, store, or make efficient final use of energy, was made.
Results: there are 82 publications between 2000 and 2019 and there are research projects in more than 50 public centers; there are also national and international companies that patent and offer nano-enabled products for energy generation, storage and distribution.
Limitations: at the time of this research there is still no national strategy on nanotechnologies in the country. The information was collected and systematized from different sources, documents and official reports.
Findings: this is a first exercise that allows us to visualize disarticulation between what is researched, patented and produced in terms of nanotechnologies applied to the Mexican energy sector.
