The research in our lab is focused on the synthesis and the characterization of new materials for sensing, energy production, structural and biomedical applications.
We develop new synthesis approaches for the realisation of bulk materials, thin films, nanopowders, nanorods, and hierarchical nanostructures.
We characterize the structural, microstructure and functional properties of these materials using a wide range of techniques, such as XRD, thermal analysis (TGA, DTA, DSC), optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SE, BS, EDS, EBSD), TEM, Impedance spectroscopy, EXAFS, XANES and XRF.
