Work
In 1985 he joined to IPELP CNR (today ICMATE) as Technician, then in 2001 he obtained a position as Researcher still maintained up to now. During these years he worked on different subjects:
1985 – 1992 IPELP-CNR: electrochemical synthesis and characterisation of polyconjiugated conducting polymers.
1993 – 1995 University of Udine: electroanalytical application of modified electrodes and applications of solid polymeric electrolytes.
1996 – 2007 IPELP and IENI-CNR: electrochemical storage of hydrogen in metals, formation and characterisation of the hydrides; applications of metal-hydrides in energy storage systems.
2008 – 2012 IENI-CNR: metal and alloys deposition for catalysis in environmental or energetic application.
2012 – to now, ICMATE-CNR: metal and alloys deposition for catalysis in environmental or energetic applications; surface modifications in high porosity materials for energetic applications.
