The group has more than twenty years of experience in the field of materials for energy storage/conversion electrochemical systems, particularly for lithium batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells, recognised by the participation to several national and international projects, also involving industrial partners. The group has also experience in the field of materials for electrochromic devices and photoelectrochemical cells.
The research group has specific skills in the preparation of inorganic, carbonaceous and polymeric electrode materials and electrolytes, and in their electrochemical characterization in view of their application in lithium batteries, supercapacitors and fuel cells for transportation, stationary and portable applications. In the laboratory various instruments are available for basic and applied electrochemical studies, for preparation and for some spectroscopic and morphologic characterizations of the materials.
The group has always carried out training of young researchers in the field of energy conversion systems.
