Jean-Marie Tarascon (2014)

Jean-Marie Tarascon (* 1953 ) is a French chemist who works in solid-state chemistry and electrochemistry . He made significant contributions to the further development of batteries .

Life

Jean-Marie Tarascon studied at the University of Bordeaux , where he obtained a master's degree in chemical engineering in 1977 , a Diplôme d'études universitaires générales (DEUG) in physics and chemistry in 1978 and a doctorate in solid-state chemistry in 1981 .

A long stay in the United States followed on from the doctoral studies. After a postdoctoral position at Cornell University in 1981, Tarascon worked from 1982 to 1994 at Bell Laboratories , then at Bellcore in Red Bank (New Jersey) , which had been spun off from Bell Labs as part of the break-up of AT&T . There he was initially a member of the Department of Solid State Chemistry; in May 1989 he became director of the energy storage group at Bellcore .

He remained in this position until he returned to France in January 1995 to take up a professorship at the University of Amiens and to head a laboratory for reactivity and solid state chemistry run by the university and the national research organization CNRS .

2010–2011 he held a temporary professorship for sustainable energies at the Collège de France in Paris; since 2014 he has held a chair for solid-state chemistry and energy there.

Tarascon's first work was on the electronic and ionic properties of the Chevrel phases . As director of the chemistry division of Bellcore , he was involved in research on high temperature superconductors . Eventually, however, he returned to electrochemistry and has since devoted himself to research in the field of energy storage. At Bellcore he made significant contributions to the further development of the lithium-ion battery ; since his return to France, he has been leading research projects on various technologies that have potential for future battery types, for example electrocatalysis , redox flow batteries , lithium-air accumulators or sodium-ion accumulators .

In 2003 he founded the European network of excellence for lithium batteries ALISTORE (Advanced Li Storage Batteries) , which he has been heading ever since. Jean-Marie Tarascon also set up the CNRS research network RS2E ( Réseau de Recherche et de Technologie pour le Stockage Electrochimique de l'Energie , German  research and technology network for electrochemical energy storage ), which has existed since 2011, and has been its director ever since.

The literature and citation database Web of Science identifies Jean-Marie Tarascon as the author or co-author of around 750 scientific articles with an h-index of 132 (as of April 2020).

honors and awards

Tarascon has received numerous awards for its work on the further development of electrochemical energy storage systems. Among other things, he was awarded the Centenary Prize of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2015 and the CNRS Innovation Medal in 2017.

The Académie des Sciences appointed him a corresponding member in 1999 and a permanent member in 2004. In 2002 he was appointed to the Institut universitaire de France , and in 2003 he was elected to the Academia Europaea . In 2014 the Royal Society accepted him as a foreign member.

Tarascon has been a Knight of the Legion of Honor since 2009 .
