Research areas
Our research activities turns around energy technologies, environmental applications and sustainable development. Our research program is based on the collaboration of scientists from many disciplines (chemistry, physics, synthetic chemistry, characterization chemistry and microelectronic engineering) combining fundamental and applied interests. Our main areas of research are:
- Nanosciences and shaping of nanomaterials
- Molecular self-assembly and nanostructures
- Green chemistry and environmentally friendly synthesis processes
- Energy and energy storage
- Organic synthesis and natural macromolecules
The uniqueness of our platform comes from our expertise, from our entire group of instruments, and from our ability to not only be able to synthesize new nanomaterials, but to characterize, formulate and integrate them into new devices, thus offering a unique collaborative environment.
