Laboratory of Nanochemistry for Energy

Laboratory

The Nanochemistry Laboratory for Energy (LNCE) at EPFL focuses on developing novel synthetic routes to tailor-make multifunctional hybrid materials based on atomically defined colloidal nanocrystals. LNCE's research program revolves around two main themes: synthetic development of multicomponent nanocrystals via colloidal chemistry and utilizing well-controlled nanocrystals as electrocatalysts for small molecule conversion, with a particular focus on CO2. The team aims to achieve a superior control on structure and composition at multiple length-scales by understanding the chemical transformations driving nucleation, growth, and assembly. LNCE's enthusiastic multidisciplinary team is motivated by the challenges of energy technologies for a more sustainable society.
