Teaching activities

  • Electrochemistry (basics; kinetics; methods; interfaces; electrocatalysis; corrosion; materials).
  • Chemistry (physical and analytical).
  • Energy conversion and storage (materials, technology, durability and selection of electrochemical generators; physical-chemistry of electrochemical generators).

Research activities

  • Interfacial electrochemistry: well-defined surfaces; double layer; in situ coupling of physical techniques with electrochemistry (FTIR and Raman spectroscopies; X-Ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS); differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS)).
  • Electrocatalysis: mechanisms and kinetics of electrooxidation of non-carbonaceous fuels, electroreduction oxygen on carbon or oxide supported metal/alloyed nanoparticles or bulk surfaces, hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction on non-PGM catalysts in alkaline environments.
  • Durability of low-temperature electrodes and catalysts; determination of aging mechanisms; link between the fuel cell/electrolyzer performances degradation and the morphology/composition/performances of the membrane/electrode assemblies (alkaline and acidic media).
