Materials, devices and management systems able to make production, storage and the distribution of sustainable energy more efficient and “smart”.

The production, distribution, storage and intelligent management of energy remains to be one of the most important and fundamental global challenges. To produce more and more in order to satisfy increasing needs and to do so in a more sustainable way and manage resources without wasting are inevitable objectives. But the increasing needs correspond proportionally to a growth of technologies necessary to obtain important results: for example a better use of renewable resources requires constant research on the efficiency of materials, flow management, expertise in preserving and distributing this energy in a “smart” way. Great strides have been made thanks to the use of nanotechnologies but every achievement in this field is a new starting point towards higher performances.
