Prof. Massimo Innocenti

Information

Prof. Massimo Innocenti graduated in chemistry in 1989; he is now an associate professor in analytical chemistry. Recently, he obtained a license to become a full professor in analytical chemistry. He has taught analytical chemistry, reactivity and analysis of surfaces, and environmental chemistry at the University of Florence, as well as analytical chemistry and advanced analytical chemistry at the University of Siena. His research activity is focused on nanomaterials obtainable via electrochemical methods and used in the fields of electrocatalysis, energy, and sensors. In recent years, much attention has been given to the preparation of substrates for electrodeposition, of interest for applications in the fields of fuel cells and the solar cells. The recent results in the field of surface analysis obtained by combining electrochemical techniques with surface techniques (e.g., microscopic spectroscopy) are noteworthy. In particular, the use of synchrotron radiation and atomic force microscopy in electrochemical environments allows us to characterize and study the electrodeposition of numerous films of technological interest in situ. Research and industrial development in the fields of applied galvanic cells and surface analysis are also notable. He has obtained many industrial contracts (~1,000,000 EUR of industrial research contracts in 2010–2018). Recently, he has conducted electroplating, plating, and surface analysis for several major companies in the fashion industry.
