Catia Arbizzani

Catia Arbizzani is a Full Professor at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Bologna. Her research focuses on electrochemical systems for energy storage, particularly lithium-ion batteries and sustainable battery technologies. She teaches courses such as Biosensors and Electrochemical Systems for Energy Storage and Conversion. Her work emphasizes battery separators, electrode interfaces, and novel materials like CO2-derived carbons. She collaborates with institutions in Germany, France, and Finland through Erasmus+ agreements.

Her research spans battery materials science, including cobalt-free cathodes, copper-based redox flow batteries, and sustainable gel polymer electrolytes. She has supervised numerous dissertations on battery technologies, separators, and energy storage systems. Her contributions address challenges in energy density, safety, and environmental impact of next-generation batteries.

Key collaborations include partnerships with Fachhochschule Landshut (Germany), Université de Limoges (France), and the University of Helsinki (Finland). Her interdisciplinary approach integrates electrochemistry, materials science, and engineering to advance energy storage solutions.
