Stefano Passerini among the most cited researchers worldwide

For the third time in a row, Clarivate Analytics has honored Stefano Passerini as a “Highly Cited Researcher” in the Web of Science. His research is once again among the first one percent of the most cited work in his field of research and thus has a special influence on battery research.

Stefano Passerini has been a professor at the HIU since January 2014 and is director of the institute since 2018.  He has been working on the development of materials and systems for electrochemical energy storage for 30 years. His research focuses on the basic understanding and development of materials for lithium batteries, such as ionic liquids, polymer electrolytes and electrode materials. Passerini is the co-author of over 500 publications and for the third year in a row one of the most cited researchers in his field. In addition, several newly developed materials have already been patented.
