Research activity focuses on the development of oxide based advanced functional materials. Particular attention is devoted to the green processes with the aim of developing oxide based materials. Research activity mainly concerns design, synthesis and characterization of oxide based nano-materials and nano-composites (perovskites, transition metal oxides, ...) for application in the field of sustainable development (Fuel Cells, pollutants abatement).

2. Platinum Group Metals free catalysts for Three Way Catalysts
3. Development of sustainable catalysts for green hydrogen production (alcohol steam reforming and oxidative steam reforming, dry reforming).
Nano-materials, synthesised with different procedures, are characterised by means of a multi-technique approach and their functionality (electrocatalytic activity in SOCs, reactivity) is investigated. Objective:1) to correlate the observed functionality (electrocatalytic activity, conductivity, etc) with the composition and the synthesis parameters with the strength and surface distribution of active sites; 2) to properly design and optimize ad hoc materials for the different applications.
Both the catalysts and the preparation procedures are selected taking into consideration the economic and environmental sustainability.
