Electrochemical deposition of refractory metals from ionic liquids Transport in porous media under electrical field Electrocatalysis of water splitting with nanostructured oxides. Energetic analysis of distillation processes Graduated in Chemical Engineering, phd in Industrial Engineering, Associate Professor of Chemical Plant design from January 2015 at the Department of Mechanical Chemical and Materials Engineering (formerly Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials) of the University of Cagliari. Teacher of Unit Operations and Chemical Plant Simulation for the degree course in Chemical Engineering; teacher of Chemical Plant Design for the postgraduate course in Chemical Engineering. His research activities are focused in the field of electrochemical engineering applied to the study of processes for environmental remediation and energy conversion. In particular, the study covers key aspects such as the catalytic activity of electrode materials and the identification of reaction mechanisms, as well as practical aspects of design and characterization of reactors. With regard to the environmental remediation, processes have been studied for removal of toxic organic pollutants from industrial waste water and from natural waters. Different types of electrode materials were tested with the objective to identify the reaction mechanisms involved in the process depending on the pollutant and on the material selected. Using techniques such as voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy the interphase between electrode and solution was characterised. Through experiments and mathematical models, electrochemical reactors were studied on a laboratory scale in order to address the research towards an applicative approach. In this context, the design, characterization and mathematical modeling of electrochemical reactors made it possible to successfully carry out the treatment, even in the case of trace contaminants. Different reactor configurations were tested: a single pass filterpress cell, a recirculated filterpress cell with reservoir, an impinging jet cell and a three dimensional flow-through cell.

2 The application of the results was recently extended to the disinfection of natural waters. The products of the oxidation of chloride ions in aqueous solutions were identified, and the effect of current density, residence time and mass transfer rate on distribution and concentration of electrolysis by-products was studied. Particular attention was paid to the hydrodynamic of the reactor. In view of the application of these processes on industrial scale studies were also carried out on the stability and lifetime of non-commercial electrode materials, allowing to determine how and in what extent the structural changes induced by stress affect the performances of the catalytic material. Research on energy conversion has focused mainly on the study of effective electrocatalysts for water electrolysis applied to hydrogen production, for the use of hydrogen for energy production in fuel cells. Different catalytic materials were tested for the redox reaction of oxygen, which represents the limiting step of the process: electrodes based on mixed oxides of iridium, tin and titanium were tested by electrolysis in acid medium, whereas cobalt-based spinels and ferrites were tested in alkaline solution. In the field of applications to fuel cells, the study covers the preparation of catalysts that are tolerant to CO using Ru, Sn, Co and Fe combined with Pt Attention was then paid to the photo-electro-splitting of water: the technique combines the process of electrolysis to obtain hydrogen for photocatalysis using solar radiation at low temperature. The activity involves the electrochemical synthesis of nanostructured Titanium oxide electrodes: non-doped TiO2 nanotubes were prepared by anodic oxidation of Ti foils, followed by thermal annealing. Anodisation was carried out in aqueous electrolytes containing fluorides, as well as in organic electrolyte, glycerol and ethylene glycol. The formation and the geometry of the nanotubular arrays were investigated under different operative conditions. In particular, the effects of anodization time and annealing temperature on the final structure of TiO2 nanotubes was examined, focusing on crystalline phase transformations and on structure defectivity at the surface or in the bulk. The coating of conductive surfaces with refractory metals has been recently studied. In particular, electrodeposition of Nb, Ta, Zr and bimetallic Nb/Cu and Ta/Cu composites has been achieved from low temperature ionic liquids. The electrochemical behavior was investigated by cyclic and liner sweep voltammetries, allowing to obtain information on potentials and mechanism of deposition. According to the electrochemistry of the metals considered and based on the experimental results, the possible reaction path for the oxidation/reduction was proposed. Structural and chemical analyses indicate that the obtained deposits cover uniformly the electrode surface and exhibit individual layers with a characteristic size ranging between 50 and 100 nm. Michele Mascia has also skills in electrochemical characterization of surfaces through electrochemical techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. These techniques were applied to Teflon bonded Co3O4 electrodes allowing to model the electrocatalytic activity for oxygen evolution. The behavior of boron doped diamond electrodes, differently aged by oxidative treatments, was also investigated. The techniques were also applied to thin film electrodes realized with mechanically activated anatase powders, relating the photocatalytic activity with the mechanical treatment. The results of all the researches have been published in international scientific journals and presented at major international conferences. Michele Mascia has been involved in several regional national and European research projects.
