Interfacial Electrochemistry and Processes (Team EIP)

The research conducted in the Team of Interfacial Electrochemistry and Processes aims at increasing the understanding of electrode | (organic/inorganic) electrolyte interfaces, both for practical and model systems, from physicochemical and mechanistic view-points. Its scope ranges from fundamental to applied research and is based on a broad experimental expertise, with special emphasis on physicochemical characterizations coupled to electrochemistry for in situ and/or in operando studies, as well as a multiphysics approaches using numerical modelling of the physicochemical and electrochemical processes at stake at the interface, electrode and system levels.

The fundamental researches conducted in the Team of Interfacial Electrochemistry and Processes all fall within the domains of electrochemistry and nanosciences, and particularly aim at linking the electrochemical or physicochemical properties of the materials to their structure and composition, in particular at the nanoscale. In that frame, different application sectors are addressed, among which (i) the synthesis/elaboration and behavior in their environment of structural and functional materials, (ii) advanced materials for microelectronics, (iii) recycling/valuation of used materials and (iv) materials for the storage and conversion of electrical energy.
