QUANTUMAT congratulates Mostafa Mohammadi on his PhD defence at Sorbonne Université on 31 October 2024.

The first doctoral researcher in the collaboration between QUANTUMAT and Sorbonne Université, Mostafa investigated how the architecture of two-dimensional materials influences the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries, with particular emphasis on silicon-based anodes.

His doctoral work marks an important milestone in this scientific collaboration and its research into advanced materials for energy storage.

We thank Mostafa for his contribution and extend our congratulations on this achievement.

HEBAT receives first prize at The International Pitch Night 2024

Award presentation at The International Pitch Night 2024 — The HEBAT team at the award presentation.

QUANTUMAT’s HEBAT battery project received first prize at The International Pitch Night 2024, held at the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris.

The event marked the first public presentation of HEBAT, following three years of research into a carbon-free anode material architecture designed to improve lithium-ion battery capacity and charging performance.

QUANTUMAT thanks the jury for this recognition, Sabrina Guichard and the We Start U Up programme for their support, and the scientific collaborators and contributors who helped bring the project to this milestone.

This award recognises the work of the development team and provides encouragement for the next stages of research and prototype development.

QUANTUMAT expands its battery research collaboration with Sorbonne Université and the Technical University of Crete

Meeting associated with the battery research collaboration — Collaboration meeting associated with the battery research programme.

QUANTUMAT, Sorbonne Université and the Technical University of Crete have signed a collaboration agreement to advance materials research for high-capacity, fast-charging lithium-ion batteries.

The consortium brings together QUANTUMAT’s technology development activities, the expertise of Imad Arfaoui at Laboratoire MONARIS, Sorbonne Université–CNRS, and that of Dimitrios Gournis at the Technical University of Crete.

Building on previous work on anode material architectures, the partners will investigate new material systems to improve electrochemical performance. The agreement extends a scientific relationship developed over more than a decade.
