Biography
Ismail Abidat has a Master degree in material sciences. He is presently in his third year of PhD in electrocatalysis under the supervision of Dr. A. Habrioux, Dr. C. Morais and Dr. T. Napporn, at the Institute of Chemistry of Poitiers, IC2MP in the university of Poitiers. (France). His research focuses on innovative nanomaterials with advanced properties, which are useful in energy conversion and storage systems. He is developing various hybrid materials of mesoporous and spinel metal oxides nanoparticles with heteroatoms doped graphene. These stable nanocomposites are reversible electrodes for both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). They are very good candidates for air electrodes in rechargeable metal-air batteries.
