Our team

Energy is essential for human activities such as industrial manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, and communication. Society is increasingly aware that fossil fuels are unsustainable. There is an urgent need to find efficient and sustainable ways to produce clean energy in the near future and to store it accordingly. Our group is focused on the design of advanced hybrid and nanostructured materials to promote the change toward a circular economy with CO2 neutral mobility.

PRINCIPAL RESEARCHER

Irune Villaluenga - Villaluenga lab

Dr. Irune Villaluenga

Her main research line is focused on the design of innovative solid nanostructured hybrid macromolecular battery materials. She is interested in the creation of new processes of assembly that enable the formation of 100% dense membranes where the distribution of inorganic and organic phases presents nanoscale homogeneity in order to improve battery performance. She is also interested in electrochemical and safety studies for battery applications.
