Research Focus
The Melot group works on all aspects of materials design, meaning that we synthesize new compounds, study their atomic structure, and characterize their functional properties. Current topics include photovoltaics, intercalation electrodes for Li-, Na-, or F-ion batteries, and heterogeneous catalysts for sustainable chemistry.
