Laboratory for Light Elements Study

Within the Laboratory for Light Elements Study (LEEL), research themes focus on the behavior of light elements in materials, mostly materials for energy applications. Activities range from material synthesis (from solution chemistry to innovative gas pathways) to characterizations (electrochemistry coupled with in situ/operando methods), including those obtained with the laboratory’s specific tool, the nuclear microprobe, an instrument particularly suited for monitoring light elements.
