The redox and electronic properties of non-stoichiometric oxides such as CeO₂, metal transition oxides, perovskites are relevant not only in catalysis but also in the development of materials and devices for energy applications. The group’s research focuses on studying the relationships between catalytic, redox and electronic properties of different classes of oxides to develop electrochemical energy conversion systems (solid oxides fuel cells and solid electrochemical cells). In addition, we study materials and processes to produce green H₂ from renewable resources (solar, biogas) and for its use in the decarbonisation of industrial sectors and in the production of biofuels. The fundamentals of catalytic and electrochemical processes and the properties of materials for a concrete innovation of energy systems are studied with an interdisciplinary approach through close cooperation with other national and international research groups (Polytechnic of Turin, Polytechnic of Milan, Massachussetts Institute of Technology, Boston, USA).
