2023 ANNUAL REPORT | BAR-ILAN INSTITUTE

Prof. Zitoun David Head of Department of Chemistry Member of BINA Nano-Energy Center Nano & Advanced 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 Nanomaterials for Energy The current research focuses on chemical synthesis of nanomaterials to promote renewable and green energies. We have an 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 develop new chemical routes using soluble organometallic or metal-organic precursors. These nanoparticles and their assemblies display high activity as chemical sensors, 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. Single atom Pt electrocatalysts inside carbon nanotubes for selective catalysis. 100 • Ariel Halevi, Nairouz Farah, Nisan Ozana, Sharon Cohen, Assaf Shoval, Orit Shefi, Yossi Mandel, Zeev Zalevsky. “Remote photonic sensing of action potential in mammalian nerve cells via histogrambased analysis of temporal spatial acoustic vibrations”.
