Faculty of Chemistry and Biology / Department of Material Chemistry

Laboratory dedicated to the synthesis and structural characterization of new functional ceramic materials for the development of high-capacity lithium batteries and solid-state lithium batteries. Our team also develops highly sensitive and selective materials for non-enzymatic sensors applied to the detection of diverse molecules of biological interest. The main focus of the laboratory is the resolution of crystal structures by X-ray diffraction based on the Rietveld method and its correlation with the physical properties of the materials.
