03 December 2026 In the KNOWSKITE-X project, we explore how energy materials behave when they actually work, using advanced in-situ and operando characterization tools. Our team now employs a high-temperature Linkam CCR1000 in-situ chamber to study how electrode materials evolve during redox cycling with H₂ and O₂, at temperatures up to 800 °C, conditions close…
02 December 2025 Last week, several members of the KNOWSKITE-X consortium, Aurélie Rolle, Elise Berrier, Valerie Theuns, and Raphaël Ihringer, participated in the “Plénières de la Fédération Hydrogène” conference, which brought together the French academic and industrial community engaged in hydrogen-related research and innovation. During the event: Valerie Theuns presented her latest results on the…
21 November 2025 Last week, KNOWSKITE-X presented its solution to the data workflow challenges in materials modelling and characterization. The Know Center team, led by Franz Rohrhofer, introduced the new KNOW Data Platform (KDP) during an internal webinar—an important step toward a unified and FAIR data ecosystem that seamlessly connects characterization, modelling, and trustworthy AI…
14 September On September 14, 2025, Prof. Antonella Glisenti from the University of Padua (UNIPD) conducted advanced measurements at the Diamond Light Source Synchrotron in Didcot, UK, as part of the KNOWSKITE-X project. The experimental session focused on UNIPD’s proposed samples, using Near Ambient Pressure X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) to investigate the exsolution reaction, a…
10 September 2025 Last week, KNOWSKITE-X researchers took center stage at the prestigious EuropaCat2025 Conference, presenting cutting-edge experimental results that are shaping the future of energy materials. Project partners participated actively in the event, with poster presentations from both Siavash Alizadeh (International Iberian Nanotechnology Labvoratory) and an oral presentation delivered by Project Coordinator Elise Berrier…
18 July 2025 Immediately following the Summer School, the KNOWSKITE-X consortium gathered in Rovereto for the General Assembly, held over two half-days (July 10–11, 2025). The sessions served to review progress, align next steps across work packages, and strengthen collaborative ties among project partners. Highlights included: WP2: Multi-scale modeling and AI-driven materials discovery WP3: Advanced…
18 July 2025 Last week, from 7 to 10 July, Rovereto hosted the 2025 edition of the KNOWSKITE-X Summer School, bringing together young researchers, academics and industrial partners for four days of scientific exchange, applied training and innovation in advanced energy materials. Through keynote lectures, interactive poster sessions and hands-on activities, participants explored the frontiers…
15 April 2025 As part of the ongoing collaborative efforts within the KNOWSKITE-X project, PhD student Valerie Theuns from Université de Lille has spent a one-month research stay at INL – International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory. During her visit, Valerie carried out microscopy work and engaged in several collaborative activities aligned with the scientific objectives of…
