Tailoring nanostructured catalysts for electrochemical energy conversion systems

• Aldo S. Gago

  Aldo S. Gago is a physicist graduated from University of Guadalajara, Mexico. In 2011, he received his doctoral degree from University of Poitiers, France under supervision of Prof. Nicolas Alonso-Vante. His thesis work consisted in developing materials and systems for (photo) electrochemical energy conversion. At present, he is a postdoctoral fellow at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), under the auspices of DAAD. His main interests are nanostructured materials, corrosion and hydrogen technologies.

  , Aurelien Habrioux

  Aurelien Habrioux holds a master’s degree in materials science and he completed his PhD with Prof. B. Kokoh at the University of Poitiers in 2009 where he specifically studied the existing correlation between structural properties of noble metal-based nanoparticles and their electrocatalytic activity towards glucose molecule. He was a postdoctoral researcher at CEA Saclay, France, studying the insertion of Li ions into nanostructured mineral host matrix by nuclear microanalysis. He is currently assistant professor at the University of Poitiers working on the synthesis of new nanomaterials for electrochemical energy conversion devices.

  und Nicolas Alonso-Vante

  Professor Nicolas Alonso-Vante has developed materials in the nanodivided scale based on transition metal and chalcogenides in metallic and semiconducting form in Germany and France. Using facile chemical routes he has pioneered the use of non-platinum and non-precious metal catalysts center chalcogenides in order to understand the complex process of the oxygen reduction reaction process, an important technological reaction in low temperature fuel cells. He has received the awards of the Alexander von Humboldt foundation fellowship, of the National Polytechnic Institute-Mexico as a R&D distinguished graduate, and of the Mexican Council of Technology SNI-III recognition as a Mexican researcher working outside Mexico.
