BIO
Gabriele earned Bachelor’s (2015) and Master’s degrees (2017) in Materials Science at the University of Turin, while he obtain the Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Technology defending the doctoral thesis entitled “Newly designed single ion-conducting polymer electrolytes enabling advanced Li-metal solid-state batteries” at the Polytechnic University of Turin in June 2022.
During the Ph.D. research project under the supervision of Prof. Claudio Gerbaldi he has been focused on various research topics in the field of materials science, electrochemistry, polymer chemistry and its applications in the energy storage and conversion area. In the meanwhile, he did a secondment at the Luxemburg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST, Luxemburg), where I gained strong background in organic synthesis and polymer chemistry under the supervision of Dr. Alexander Shaplov.
Since October 2023, Gabriele has been working as a postdoctoral researcher at the POLYMAT with the innovative polymers group, under the supervision of Prof. David Mecerreyes. His research interests are focused on the development of innovative solid polymer electrolytes, physical-chemical and electrochemical characterization of electrolytes and electrode materials for application in alkali-based energy storage devices.
Project
The greatest challenges towards the worldwide success of the carbon neutralization and the green transport revolve around the safety, energy density, specific power, and cost of energy storage/conversion devices. In this context, the current project advances the development of Ion Gel PolyDES Electrolytes (IGPEs), for quasi all-solid-state energy storage/conversion technologies. The main advantage of IGPEs is the feasibility of combining advantages of both liquid and solid electrolytes simultaneously acting as flexible, safe, no leaking, green ad low-cost separator in electrochemical devices. In the frame of this research project, novel DES systems comprising DEMs will be screened and characterized to evaluate the possible application as electrolyte for proof-of-concept electrochemical cells.
