Novel Energy-Oriented Materials

Energy storage and conversion is an increasingly strategic area in need of fundamental improvements. Our group brings together expertise in materials science; solid state, polymer and molecular chemistry and electrochemistry to contribute to several aspects in this line. On the one hand we work on new materials and methods: Prospective research on the design and synthesis of hybrid nanocomposite materials with a strong emphasis on structural control at the micro, meso and nanodimensions. On the other hand, that work is the basis for the development of complex multimaterial architectures that we design and optimize for application in rechargeable lithium batteries, supercapacitors, Polymeric Fuel Cells (PEMFC) and hybrid solar conversion devices.
