Biography
Diploma in Chemistry, Faculty of Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal Doctorate, Physical Chemistry (Electrochemistry), Faculty of Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal Professor at the INRS-ÉMT since 2005
Research Interest
Professor Tavares' research activities focus on fuel cells and in particular on the development of direct methanol cell membranes. Its activities also include the study of the phenomenon of mass transport (diffusion of methanol, water, etc.) and the optimization of the electrodes ( triple phase boundary ). Professor Tavares has extensive experience in: development of non-fluorinated polymer materials for fuel cells and their characterization (structure, morphology, transport) manufacturing and evaluation of PEM & DMFC batteries synthesis and characterization of oxide-based electrocatalysts used in the fields of SOFCs, water electrolysis and chloroalkali industry)
