Research topics
The group is focused on research in solid state chemistry, nanomaterials and ceramic materials for energy applications. Our work is mainly concerned with the chemistry of lanthanides and actinides, especially their behaviour in solution. In particular we prepare and process oxalate salts. Additionaly, we give attention to the application of "Electrical field assisted sintering techniques", such as Flash Sintering or Spark Plasma Sintering.
