After a academic background in the University of Orsay, and a Master in Chemistry of Materials at the University of Nantes, she graduated (PhD) in 1994 from Nantes University at the Institut des Matériaux Jean Rouxel (France) and spent one year as Post-Doc at Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart (Germany). She was appointed Chargée de Recherches at CNRS in 1996 and promoted Research Director in 2011. First years at CNRS were devoted to research of new materials with original structure and properties. After the discovery of a new lithium rich pnictogenides family she progressively shifted to materials for Li batteries.
Her current research directions include the synthesis and characterization of new electrodes materials for Li-ion, and for post-Li systems: Na-, Mg-, Ca- ion batteries, the improvement of their performance by playing i) on the nano-structuration and the electrode formulation, ii) on the confinement of active element in carbon matrix. The understanding of the electrochemical mechanism through operando characterization technics (XRD, IR-ATR, Raman, Mössbauer spectroscopy) is the center of her research. She is leading the thematic group Li-ion of the European network ALISTORE-ERI and co-responsible of the same thematic group in French network RSE2. LM was leader or participant of numerous scientific projects, National projects (ANR, CNRS), European or International project (FP7, H2020, bilateral (Israel, UK)). She has also numerous collaborations with industrial partners (Saft, Umicore, Total S.A., Hutchinson, Nanomakers...). She is the author of 115 articles in international peer reviewed journals, of 8 patents, of 2 book chapters, of more than 20 oral presentations in international conferences including 12 invited lectures. She is editor of 2 volumes for the Royal Society.
