Dr. Anna Palacios Padrós

Catalysts and materials department, Battery Materials group. Currently working on Na-ion batteries. Main duties: electrode preparation, coin cell assembly and electrochemical characterization.

Low Carbon Technology Group. Synthesis and scale up of Pd membranes for gas separation. My duties included: membrane preparation, characterization and process optimization.

PhD in Materials Science and Technology studying the electrochemical behaviour of tin in alkaline solutions and the development of nanostructured tin oxide layers for applications in gas sensors or photoelectrochemical water splitting. The work also includes teaching Physical Chemistry laboratory sessions to 3r year students from the Chemistry Bachelor's degree and General Chamistry laboratory sessions to 1st years students from the Environmental sciences degree.

Study of the first stages of tin anodization by Electrochemical Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (EC-STM) at the Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie des Surfaces de l’ENSCP (Chimie ParisTech, Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris)

Development of tin oxide self-organized structures by electrochemical anodization at the Institute for Surface Science and Corrosion (LKO, Friedrich-Alexander Universität, Erlangen-Nürnberg)
