Jean-Marie Tarascon

Jean-Marie Tarascon is a solid-state chemistry expert whose first fifteen years of his career were spent in the United States. He was behind the creation of the European network of excellence ALISTORE-ERI in 2003 and then in 2011 of the French network on the electrochemical storage of energy (RS2E), which he still heads. His fields of research are varied and relate to the design, via eco-efficient synthesis processes, of new electrode materials with exacerbated capacity as well as to the study of new reaction mechanisms and the exploration of new battery technologies beyond Li-ion with in particular Na-ion, Zn-MnO2 or any solid technologies. He is currently passionate about the development of smart batteries via sensor injection.
