Jean-Marie Tarascon

Jean-Marie Tarascon, a Professor at Collège de France's Chemistry of Materials and Energy chair, specializes in Electrochemistry, Solid State Chemistry, and Energy Storage. He founded the RS2E (French Electrochemical Energy Storage Network) and ALISTORE-ERI (European Network), focusing on next-generation batteries like Na-ion, Zn-MnO2, and All-Solid-State systems. His work bridges Supramolecular Chemistry with Battery Self-Repair and Intelligent Battery Design via sensor integration.

Over his career, Tarascon has delivered annual lectures tracing his research trajectory, including 2025's Na-ion Electrolyte Innovations, 2024's All-Solid-State Pragmatism, and 2021's Diagnostic/Repair Techniques. These lectures emphasize eco-efficient synthesis, 3D electrode materials, and battery traceability.

As head of the CSE Lab (Solid-State Chemistry and Energy) at Collège de France, he collaborates with CNRS and Sorbonne Université to advance smart battery systems. His research trends highlight a shift from Li-ion fundamentals (2010-2017) to self-repair mechanisms (2018-2021) and eco-responsible alternatives (2024-2025).
