Jean-Marie TARASCON
- Professor, Collège de France, Chair in “Chemistry of Solids – Energy”
Jean-Marie Tarascon is Professor at the Collège de France holding the chair “Chemistry of solids – Energy”, but much of his early career was spent in the US where he discovered the plastic Li-ion technology. Back in France in 1995, he founded the European network of excellence ALISTORE-ERI and more recently the French network on electrochemical energy storage (RS2E). Tarascon’s present research is devoted to battery materials/electrolytes, novel reactivity concepts, chemistries beyond lithium and sensing. He is the author of about 700 scientific papers, holds more than 100 patents and has received numerous awards. Among the latest, the Balzan Prize in 2020, the CNRS Gold Medal in 2022 and the 2024 IBA Medal of Excellence.
