Jean-Marie Tarascon Ph.D.
Dr. Tarascon's scientific activities within the LRCS are focused on the elaboration of high performance systems for the storage and conversion of energy, and are composed of three main axes which are: new materials, interfaces and nanochemistry. Research activitiesThough I am actually professor at the Universite de Picardie Jules Verne, I spent most of my career in the U.S.A., first at Cornell University (1980) further to my solid state chemistry PhD at Bordeaux, and then at Bell Laboratory and Bellcore up to 1994. My works concerned the electronic properties of Chevrel phases such as YbMo6S8, their dissolution leading to the first example of a transition element polymeric solution, and their ability towards intercalation or (and) deintercalation. At the end of the 80's, I joined the Bellcore chemistry group and was involved in the numerous results obtained on high temperature cuprate superconductors; role of oxygen non-stœchiometry , of cationic substitutions, magnetism or structures modulations. At the beginning of the 90's, Bellcore asked me to create a new group on energy storage, which was rapidly prolific with, in particular, the optimization of new organic electrolytes for high voltage electrodes thus allowing the achievement of the LiMn2O4/C Li-ion battery or the discovery of the plastic Li-ion battery (PLiONTM), which is now commercialized. The most important results to which I contributed are the stabilization of the LiMn2O4-electrolyte interface, the design of an electrochromic system resting only on the presence of electrochemically active species in solution, the pioneering role of the LRCS in the contribution of mechanical grinding to the performances optimization of the electrode materials for Li-ion batteries and the discovery of a new reversible Li reaction mechanism in highly divided mediums.

By this ResearcherRelated ContentChemistry and Physics of Carbon, Volume 30Written by distinguished researchers in carbon, the long-running Chemistry and Physics of Carbon series provides a comprehensive and critical overview of carbon in terms of molecular structure, intermolecular relationships, bulk and surface properties, and their behavior in an amazing variety of current and emerging applications, ranging from nanotechnology to environmental remediation. Volume 30 not only retains the high-quality content and reputation of previous volumes, but also complements them with reliable and timely coverage of the latest advances in the field. The first chapters analyze progressive approaches to controlling more precisely the structure, morphology, and surface properties of novel activated carbons. They cover methods using activating agents such as alkaline hydroxides as well as endo- and exotemplates made from zeolites, silica, and colloidal crystals. The third chapter examines techniques for characterizing carbon surface chemistry, including electrochemical, spectroscopic, and chromatographic methods. The fourth and final chapter compares the virtues of exfoliated graphite, carbonized fir fibers, carbon fiber felt, and charcoals in solving oil spill problems, a matter of increasing environmental concern. Emphasizing key experimental results, practical aspects, and cutting-edge applications in every chapter, Volume 30 is a vital resource for those developing new technologies such as drug delivery, adsorbents for oil/chemical spills, materials processing, high-performance nanocarbons, and energy storage and conversion devices, including lithium ion batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells. Compound Semiconductors 2004: Compound Semiconductors for Quantum Science and NanostructuresCompound Semiconductors 2004 was the 31st Symposium in this distinguished international series, held at Hoam Convention Center of Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea from September 12 to September 16, 2004. It attracted over 180 submissions from leading scientists in academic and industrial research institutions, and remains a major forum for the compound semiconductor research community since the first one held in 1966 at Edinburgh, UK under the name of 'International Symposium on Gallium Arsenide and related Compounds'. These proceedings provide an international perspective on the latest research and an overview of recent, important developments in III-V compounds, II-VI compounds and IV-IV compounds. In the total of 106 papers, notable progress was reported in the development of zinc oxide and spintronics. Steady advances were seen in traditional topics such as III-V based electronic and optoelectronic devices, growth and processing, and characterization. Novel research trends were observed in quantum structures, such as quantum wires and dots, which are promising for future developments in nanotechnology. As the primary forum for research into these materials and their device applications the book is an essential reference for researchers working on compound semiconductors in semiconductor physics, device physics, materials science, chemistry and electronic and electrical engineering.
