Prof. David Zitoun Department of Chemistry Member of BINA, Nano-Energy & Nano-Materials Center Research Areas • Photovoltaics and energy storage (batteries and capacitors) • Inorganic synthesis of semi-conductors, metals and oxides • Magnetic properties of materials • Nanostructures: from individual nanoparticles to functional materials Abstract The current research focuses on the investigation of the chemical synthesis of materials to promote renewable and green energies. We have a high expertise in the wet synthesis of Nano-scale materials with the accent on the transition metals, their complexes, organometallic, metallic, and metal-oxide compounds. We developed new chemical routes using soluble organometallic or metal-organic precursors as an alternative to conventional colloidal chemistry and gas phase thin film deposition. These nanoparticles and their assemblies display high activity as catalysts for fuel cells, electrolyzers and redox flow batteries. We were the first to introduce the use of electron magnetic measurements in post-mortem analyses of Li-ion batteries and the first group to publish the operando electron magnetic measurements.
