Ii. Research activities
Theoretical Chemistry and Materials for Energy

Computational and conceptual approaches to theoretical chemistry have taken a prominent place in the field of electrochemical energy storage to understand or predict the electrochemical reactivity of electrode materials (top) and electrode/electrolyte interfaces (bottom) in metal-ion batteries.

Research themes Collaborations & Contracts Research themes

A theoretical chemist by training, my research activities are summarized by the development of a generalized local approach, aimed at understanding, interpreting and predicting the macroscopic properties of materials and their interfaces. My scientific approach is part of a desire to rationalize complex properties using simple tools and concepts of chemical bonding and electronic structure. For this, I use and develop innovative analysis methodologies to (i) identify/quantify relevant descriptors of a property and (ii) establish structure/property correlations for rational design of new materials.

Methods and methodologies

  1. Hamiltonian models (Hückel, Hubbard, t-J, Ising, Heisenberg)
  2. First aid quantum methods (HF, DFT)
  3. Grand canonical DFT approach
  4. Classical molecular dynamics

Applications

  1. Transport and magnetism in low-dimensional materials
  2. Electrochemical properties of materials for energy
  3. Solvation and ionic conduction properties in liquid and polymer electrolytes
  4. Reactivity of electrochemical interfaces
