François Henn
Francois Henn is a professor at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Montpellier where he teaches thermodynamics, electrochemistry and materials science. His main research topic concerns ion dynamics in solids or at solid/gas-liquid interfaces. He has thus conducted numerous studies in the field of i) solid electrolytes, ii) gas adsorption in aluminosilicates such as clays and zeolites and iii) more recently the transport of liquid electrolytes in carbon nanotubes.
Role in IONESCO
François Henn coordinates both the administrative and scientific aspects of the IONESCO project. On the research side, he will take an active part in the measurements and interpretation of ion conduction results. He is also the webmaster of this site.
