Research interest

My research activities are focused on the synthesis, structural and physicochemical properties of intermetallics and hydrides for energy storage applications: hydrogen storage, Ni-MH and Li-ion batteries.

In particular, I am interested in:

  • Structural and functional properties of intermetallic compounds and their hydrides, Mg-based hydrides, and complex hydrides
  • Nanocomposite and nanostructured materials. Relationship between micro (nano) structure and properties. Operando structural analysis (X-ray and neutron diffraction)
  • Mechanochemistry under inert and reactive atmosphere
  • Reactivity of materials with light elements (hydrogen and alkali atoms)
  • Electrochemical and transport properties of solid electrolytes (hydrides, sulphides) for all solid-state batteries
