Energy Storage Systems group

The group focuses on energy storage systems based on hydrogen technology and batteries. Our activities include synthesis, characterisation and scale-up of specifically (but not limited) hydrogen-based materials for vehicular and large-scale applications; solid-state batteries; modeling of components and hybrid storage systems. 

Projects

Main ongoing Projects
