Main Research Activities

Associate Prof. Christine Frayret runs several research activities within the general area of Materials Science. Her investigations are mainly centred on the discovery and understanding of improved or innovative inorganic or organic compounds. She currently takes parts in various projects, especially for Li-ion batteries and potential next generation energy storage devices involving novel eco-friendly electrodes. Her present main interest is to develop structure-property/activity relationships as well as models for the elucidation of mechanisms related to redox reactivity, ion transport and electron conduction, … By calling to numerical modelling using especially the methods provided by Quantum Mechanics and by scrutinizing the electronic structure of crystalline materials, molecules and clusters, her principal objective is to identify guidelines for the design of energy related materials.

Main research interest :
  • Electrode/electrolyte materials for battery/fuel cell set-ups – Materials for optics
  • Quantum chemical calculations devoted to the properties study of molecules and periodic solids
  • Electronic structure evaluation/interpretation of molecules, clusters and crystals
  • Quantum theory of atoms in molecules
  • Chemical bonding – Structure-property relationship
