GREEnMat - a chemistry research laboratory from the University of Liege - is specialized in the development and characterization of inorganic and/or hybrid materials in the form of powders, bulk materials or coatings for applications related to energy (new generation solar cells, Li/Na/K/... ion batteries, electrochromic materials...), environment (recycling of silicon-based PV cells, photocatalytic oxides for water/air treatment...) and health (excipients for dry powder inhalers, osseous and dental implants...) applications.
GREEnMat will be in charge of the global coordination of the project (WP1) and of the development of dual-band VIS-NIR plasmonic electrochromic nanostructures (WP2).
