Présentation

Dr. Patrice Rannou (ORCID ID: 0000-0001-9376-7136) graduated from the Textile & Chemical Institute of Lyon (1993/M.Sc. in Polymer chemistry), from University Montpellier II (1994/M.Sc. in Polymer Physics), and E.N.S. de Chimie de Montpellier (1994/M.Sc. in Polymer Science). He holds a PhD in Physics from the University J. Fourier (1998) and a research habilitation (HDR) in Chemistry (2013) from the University of Grenoble. After 16 months spent as a visiting researcher at the R & D New Materials Center of Hitachi Chemical Co. Ltd (HCC) in Hitachi-city, Japan, he was hired in Oct. 1999 as a CNRS researcher in the UMR5819-SyMMES (Molecular Systems & nanoMaterialS for Energy & health) lab where he served till Sept. 30, 2021. Since Oct. 2021 and Nov. 2022, he serves as a CNRS member of the MIEL Team (Materials, Interfaces and ELectrochemistry) of the UMR5279-LEPMI (Laboratory of Electrochemistry and Physicochemistry of Materials & Interfaces) and acts as the co-PI & CNRS research member of the LEPMI/Blue Solutions (BS) joint Laboratory Li2 (Lithium & interface Lab.), respectively. He holds a CNRS Director of Research position within the section 11 (Soft matter: Synthesis, Development, Assemblies, Structure, Properties, Functions) of CNRS-Chemistry (CNRS’s National Institute of Chemistry) since Oct. 2015. Till date (i.e. Dec. 2025), he has (co)advised 18 postdoctoral fellows, (co)supervised 13 PhD students (UGA) and co-supervised 10 Foreign PhD students (Penn (USA) and POSTECH & SKKU (South Korea)), and >35 (under)graduate students. He is the (co)authors of 140 papers (83 regular articles and 57 proceeding papers), 2 book chapters, and 17 (FR/EP/JP/US/CN/KR/WO) patents. Research overview in a nutshell: Multi-scale structures/property (electronic, ionic, protonic transfers) correlations within self-assembled and hierarchized synthetic and bio-based/mimetic/inspired functional (liquid crystalline) materials addressing UN SDG N°7. Through the rational design, circular chemistry, controlled synthesis, and advanced processing of functional soft materials aiming at encoding complex and efficient functions through hierarchical self-assembly processes across (nano->macro) length scales, his research activities deal with boosting efficiencies of electronic, ionic, and protonic transfers at work within active layers of (opto)electronic active devices (ICTs: Organic (Bio)electronics), of proton exchange membranes of fuel cells (Energy conversion), of thermoelectric devices (Thermoelectric generators and coolers (TEGs vs. TECs)) and of solid-state electrolytes of batteries & supercapacitors (Energy storage). He combines these (bio)materials science approaches with the developments of (@LEPMI-lab & ESRF-large scale facility-based) multimodal platforms allowing in depth (ex/in-situ and operando) studies to access (defect-free) intrinsic and ultimate electronic, ionic and protonic transfer performances of functional soft materials towards next generation applications within the fields of ICTs (Nano/Bioelectronics) and Energy conversion, harvesting (Hydrovoltaic energy) & storage (Nanonionics/Nanofluidics).
