ENERGY CONVERSION

In view of an ever-wider use of energy production systems from innovative natural sources, ICMATE plays an active role in the development of materials and technologies to decouple non-programmable energy production from its final use. Batteries, piezoelectric and thermoelectric generators and solar concentrators represent some of the most promising solutions developed.
