ICMATE expertises are on the developing of smart materials able to respond to different stimuli and adapt their response to environmental and operating conditions. In this class of materials are included piezoelectric materials, shape memory alloys, ferroelectric, photoluminescent, thermoelectric and functional nanoparticles.
Lines of activity:
• Shape memory alloys
• Synthesis of (nano)particles of advanced functional oxides
• Non-centrosymmetric crystal synthesis for biomedical imaging
• Ferroelectric materials
• Thermoelectric materials
• Hydrothermal synthesis of Carbon Quantum Dots from precursors obtainable from organic waste.
ICMATE researchers also develop innovative organic and inorganic (metals) materials for energy/heat storage. Such materials are capable of absorbing and releasing large amount of “latent” heat when their phase change is induced, in particular when they pass from solidification to melting and vice versa. PCMs already boast several commercial applications and one of the most promising application is their use in solar-powered heating and cooling systems.
Lines of activity:
• Development and characterization of PCM based emulsions for storage and heat transfer
• Phase change metal composites for thermal energy storage and/or thermal management
• Design and casting of Al-(Sn)-X alloys for LHTES methods and Si-B-X systems for HT-LHTES technique.
