Our research activities are focused onto the modification of the material / electrolyte interfaces in electrodes for electrochemical energy storage devices such as supercapacitors (electrochemical capacitors). We developed specific expertises in the synthesis and electrochemical characterizations of these interfaces using advanced electrochemicla techniques (micro-electrodes, cavity micro-electrodes, Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance) and the combination of electrochemical together with structural in-situ and in-operando techniques (XRD, NMR). We conduct basic research aiming at better understanding the transport and adsorption or insertion of ions from an electrolyte into the confined pores of porous materials used in supercapacitor electrodes
