Our research acitivities involve materials chemistry and photoelectrochemistry
towards the development of platform techniques for solar-energy conversion.
This is particularly related to the nanoscale engineering of materials
and devices, shedding light on new perspectives to create high-performance
water-splitting photocatalysts and solar cells (dye-sensitized and perovskite
solar cells).
