    In our laboratory, we focus on the synthesis and electrochemical characterization of inorganic (nano)materials and organometallic complexes, with particular attention to understanding structure–property relationships.

    Our research activities include:

    • Chemical and electrochemical characterization of metal alloys as potential catalysts for water electrolysis;
    • Electrosynthesis of magnetic materials;
    • Functionalization and characterization of oxide surfaces and nanoparticles;
    • Electrosynthesis of thin films;
    • Synthesis and study of inorganic and organometallic complexes.

    To carry out these investigations, we use a wide range of electrochemical, spectroscopic, and spectroelectrochemical techniques (UV-Vis, IR, and NIR spectroscopy) electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, AFM and DLS techniques.

    Thanks to a network of national and international collaborations, the laboratory adopts an integrated research approach, combining synthesis, characterization, and application of innovative materials.
