New Project: NATOENER

Logo-NATOENER

We are very excited to announce a new international collaborative project NATOENER – Nanostructures with atomic Precision for next generation Energy Harvesting Devices.
The project is funded by i-Link+, a Grant coordinated by Dr. Mariona Coll at ICMAB in Barcelona, Spain.
NATOENER is looking into the development of multisource energy harvesters, devices that can convert energy from a variety of sources, like solar, kinetic, and temperature. The goal is to achieve the self-powering operation of electronic devices through multiferroic oxide materials.
Anna Borrás and Mariona Coll from CSIC will focus on the synthesis of 1D-3D multishell architectures and the team at Ruhr-University Bochum (Germany) David Zanders and Anjana Devi, will concentrate on the synthesis of tailored metalorganic precursors. The Queen Mary University of London (UK) team, led by Prof. Joe Briscoe, will perform multifunctional properties using vibration energy harvester testing, and the one at CEA-LETI (in Grenoble, France), led by Dr. Zineb Saghi, will use STEM for structural characterization of the materials.
We look forward to a successful collaboration on this exciting research topic and hope to pave the way for long-lasting research adventure.
