The consortium is made up of three research groups that are experts in the growth of nanocarbon electrodes using plasma techniques (ENPHOCAMAT-UB), processing and laser deposition of nanomaterials (LPR-ICMAB) and advanced synthesis of functional nanomaterials using microfluidic techniques (CIF-UB). ESTORE is made up of three subprojects, ascribed to the groups that constitute the consortium, and four lines of research aimed at developing various types of hybrid electrodes: (1) Nanocarbon electrodes decorated with nanocrystals of complex transition metal oxides (MeO) and (2) Nanocarbon electrodes coated with porous metal organic nanostructures (Metal-Organic Frameworks, MOFs). In general lines, plasma methods will be used to grow porous carbon nanostructures on which MeO nanocrystals will be grown using laser techniques or MOFs will be synthesized under conditions that simulate microgravity using microfluidic devices.

This project aims to obtain hybrid electrodes and asymmetric SCs with high performance in a versatile and cost effective way, allowing these pioneering technologies to move closer to the industrial sector.
