Guest Speaker: Laurence Croguennec
Title: Solid state chemistry, a source of innovations in the metal-ion battery field
Laurence Croguennec is CNRS Research Director at the Institut de Chimie de la Matière Condensée (ICMCB-CNRS, France) at the Bordeaux University. She graduated (PhD) in 1996 from Nantes University at the Institut des Matériaux Jean Rouxel (France) and spent one year as a Post-Doc at the Bonn University (Germany). She became CNRS researcher at ICMCB in 1997, led the research group “Energy: Materials and Batteries” between 2004 and 2021 and is Deputy Director of ICMCB since 2022. She is also actively involved in the French Network on the Electrochemical Energy Storage (RS2E) and in the ALISTORE European Research Institute devoted to battery research.
Laurence Croguennec has been working for more than 25 years now on the crystal chemistry of electrode materials developed for Metal-ion batteries, and more recently all-solid-state batteries, and on the characterization of mechanisms involved upon their cycling, especially for layered and spinel oxides and polyanionic-type positive electrode materials. She develops also research in collaboration with European neutrons and synchrotron large scale facilities for in situ and operando characterization of materials during the operation of the batteries. She is the co-author of more than 165 publications, 5 book chapters and 8 patents in this field; she delivered more than 80 invited talks, and organized 18 international and 7 national meetings or symposiums.
