Recently, tremendous efforts have been devoted to develop innovative strategies to synthesis nanomaterials with desired morphologies and properties. Among the morphologies and materials studies, semi conducting nanowires have received particular attention due to their potential application in different areas such as photovoltaic, photo catalysis and gaz sensing.
Research developed in my group is devoted to nanomaterials synthesis and thin films preparation for different applications. In this presentation, I will focus on TiO2 nanowires prepared hydrothermally and it’s doping, as an efficient way to improve the performance of TiO2 photoanade [1, 2].

Biography
Abdelhafed Taleb is associate professor at University of Pierre & Marie Curie (UPMC) in the “Institut de recherche de Chimie Paris” (IRCP / ENSCP), where he is leading the group “Elaboration and Modelling of Nanostructred Films” group. He received his PhD diploma in nanomaterials science under the supervision of Prof. Marie Paul Pileni from UPMC in Paris in 1998. During his PhD, he pointed out a new collective’s properties due to nanoparticles organisation. In 2000, he joined the UPMC, where he worked on the synthesis of inorganic-organic hybrid nanomaterials and the development of new strategies to assemble them in different structures. In 2005, he joined Jean Pierre Badiali’s group where he focused on the corrosion process simulation as a new way to prepare nanomaterials. Since 2009, he leads the group focusing on the design of nanostructured films with novel properties and their applications in different areas such as sensing, self-cleaning coating, photovoltaic (DSSC), anticorrosion coating, magnetic storage etc … He has more than 18 years of experience in nanomaterials synthesis, characterizations and the study of their physical properties and their applications. He authored and co-authored a number of publications on various topics, focusing on advanced materials and their applications.
