Pierre Millet

Pierre Millet is a Professor at the Institute of Molecular Chemistry and Materials of Orsay (ICMMO) within Université Paris-Saclay. His academic rank as a Professor confirms his faculty status. Over his career, he has focused on electrochemistry with particular emphasis on PEM water electrolysis, hydrogen production, and electrocatalyst development.

• PhD in Electrochemistry (1986) from Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble
• Academic qualification for University Professorship in Chemistry (2004)
• Accreditation to supervise research (HDR) in Chemical Sciences (1986-1989)
• Advanced Diploma in Electrochemistry (1983-1984)

His research interests span electrochemical hydrogen production, photoelectrochemical water splitting, metal hydride systems, and solid polymer electrolyte technology. He has published extensively on PEM fuel cells, catalyst design, and hydrogen storage mechanisms. His work with metal-organic frameworks, clathrochelate complexes, and nanomaterials demonstrates technical innovation in electrochemical systems.

Recent publications show a clear trend toward novel catalyst architectures and advanced electrode designs for hydrogen evolution reactions. Analysis of his work reveals consistent focus on catalyst durability, non-noble metal alternatives, and industrial electrolysis scalability. His 2024 paper on top-down nanostructured MoS2 exemplifies his cutting-edge work in atomic-level catalyst engineering.
