The work of Francisco Gonell on the selective synthesis of nickel perovskites into molten salts is published in ACS Applied Nanomaterials! This work was performed jointly with the RMES group of the Lab. LCMCP and with our colleagues from the LISE lab.
Francisco has studied the mechanisms at stake in the formation of perovskite oxides in molten salts in order to drive reaction pathways towards selected crystal structures. We have then shown that we could use these controlled syntheses to tune the electrocatalytic properties of the materials for the reduction of dioxygen.
