Research Overview
In a nutshell: Multi-scale/physics structure/property (electronic, ionic, protonic transfers) correlations within self-assembled and hierarchized synthetic and bio-sourced/mimetic/inspired functional (liquid crystalline) materials
Through the rational (bioinspired) design, controlled synthesis, and advanced processing of functional (synthetic and bio-based/sourced (e.g. DNA, Peptide, Protein)) soft materials (block molecules, oligomers & homo/block co-polymers, dendrons/dendrimers) aiming at encoding complex and efficient functions through hierarchical self-assembly processes across many length scales (nano⇒meso⇒micro⇒macro-scales), the main aim of my research activities for the past two decades has been dedicated to eradicating all potential sources of (chemical, structural, and energetic) disorder to boost the efficiencies of electronic, ionic, and protonic transfers at work within active layers of (opto)electronic actives devices (IT/Organic (Bio)Electronics: FETs & solar cells), of proton exchange membranes of Fuel Cells (Energy Generation), of thermoelectric generators and coolers (Energy Harvesting), and of (liquid crystalline/polymer) electrolytes of batteries and supercapacitors (Energy Storage).These (bio)material science approaches are combined with the technical developments of multimodal (at the SyMMES lab & ESRF large scale facility) platforms for performing in depth (in situ and operando) studies with the goal of accessing the intrinsic (defect-free) and ultimate electronic, ionic and protonic transfer performances of functional soft materials towards next generation applications within the fields of IT (Nano(Bio)electronics) and Energy generation, harvesting, and storage (Nanonionics/Nanofluidics).
