Professor Dollé and his group are developing inorganic materials for electrochemical energy storage/conversion (battery). Solid state chemistry, material science and electrochemistry are outlined as major concerns. An important interest is dedicated to the Synthesis-Structure-Physical properties relationship in order to improve existing materials or to create new ones.

Professor Rochefort’s research focuses on electrochemical processes involving ionic liquids. The functionalization of ionic liquids by electroactive moieties is used to develop new electrolytes studied in various electrochemical storage systems, like batteries and supercapacitors.
