Vito Di Noto is Full Professor of Electrochemistry for Energy and Solid-State Chemistry in the Department of Industrial Engineering (DII) of the University of Padova (UNIPD), Italy. He is “Fellow of The Electrochemical Society”, he is a “Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Fellow” and he is President of the Electrochemistry Division of the Italian Chemical Society.

He is the Head of the Section of Chemistry for Technology in the same Department, and the founder and the team leader of the research group “Chemistry of Materials for the Metamorphosis and the Storage of Energy – CheMaMSE” ( http://wwwdisc.chimica.unipd.it/lab_DiNoto/ ). Recently he has been ranked among the top 2% scientists in the world as per subject wise analysis carried out by Stanford university.

Vito Di Noto is an electrochemist with more than 30 years of experience in the research and development activities of advanced functional materials for electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices, including primary and secondary batteries running on alkaline and alkaline-earth elements. In the late ‘90s he pioneered the secondary magnesium ion battery and devised breakthrough approaches for the synthesis of electrolytes and electrode materials for application in: (i) secondary batteries; (ii) fuel cells operating at low temperatures (e.g., proton exchange membrane fuel cells, PEMFCs); and (iii) redox flow batteries. He also provided seminal contributions to the understanding of the mechanisms of ion conduction in condensed phases. The results of his research activities were the basis of several technology transfer processes and led to several national and international patents sold to private companies.
