Éric DE VITO
Dr. Hab.
Senior Expert
After earning a PhD in metallurgy from Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris, Eric De Vito joined the CEA in 1993. Initially, his research centered on hydrogen permeation in martensite steels for the design of solid covers for the DEMO experimental reactor. In 2005, he joined CEA-Liten in Grenoble, where he stayed for two years before moving over to the Minatec Nanocharacterization Platform. He began researching lithium-ion batteries in 2011, with a focus on the lithiation mechanisms of silicon-based negative electrodes. He was granted accreditation to supervise research (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches, or
HDR) in 2016. Since then, he has supervised multiple PhD dissertations, mainly on materials for lithium-ion batteries and lithium characterization in different materials of interest, either for energy or microelectronics.

Research Activities - In-depth expertise in XPS and SIMS surface analysis, potentially associated with in situ or ex situ FIB sample preparation;
- Development of methodologies leveraging multimodal and correlative analyses involving other analytical techniques (e.g., ssNMR, LIBS) in combination with isotopic tracing where appropriate;
- Study of materials for energy storage, for lithium extraction from brines ("hierarchical" multiscale materials), and for solar photovoltaic energy production (perovskites, doped silicon, ETL/HTL transport layers).
