Research topics

  • Coordinator/leader of the Research Group for Applied Materials and Electrochemistry (GAME Lab, https://it-it.facebook.com/GAMELabPoliTO/; https://twitter.com/gamelabg) at the DISAT Department of the Politecnico di Torino. The specific mission of the GAME Lab is to comprehensively develop and characterize innovative electrochemical energy conversion and storage systems, which are proving to be crucial nowadays to fully exploit the potential of future technologies requiring high performance, such as smart electronics, storage from renewable sources and electric transportation. The GAME Lab's interests and expertise include the development of environmentally friendly materials (nanostructured electrodes and safe polymer electrolytes with high conductivity), their physicochemical and electrochemical characterization, and the study of innovative systems for high-performance, lightweight, low-cost devices such as rechargeable lithium/sodium-ion batteries, lithium/sulfur cells, next-generation photovoltaic devices (dye-sensitized solar cells - DSSC and perovskite cells) and photoelectrochromic devices, in close collaboration with national/international universities and research centers and with effective links with industry and the EU. The research facilities of the GAME Lab are available and viewable at the following link: http://www.disat.polito.it/the_department/internal_structures/department_labs/laboratori_area_chimica_per_l_ingegneria/game_laboratory).
  • Preparation, development and characterization of nanostructured electrode materials for energy storage, production and conversion systems
