NAME Materials for Emerging Applications Laboratory
Laboratory for manufacturing and processing of emerging materials for energy storage and energy harvesting applications. This laboratory is dedicated to the manufacturing of battery and fuel cell components (electrodes, membranes,…) and their electrochemical testing at material and cell level. Also, this laboratory is focused in energy and environmental applications of graphene. Novel porous 3D materials based in graphene are developed and tested for battery components and for water desalination (capacitive desalination -CDI).
