Research Interests
Prof Mariotti’s research focuses on the synthesis and processing of nanoscale materials with custom-built advanced atmospheric pressure plasma technologies. These materials and processes are routinely applied to the fabrication of advanced photovoltaics. Current funded projects from a range of sources (e.g. EPSRC, FP7, Leverhulme Trust etc.) include for instance scaling-up nanomaterial fabrication and third generation photovoltaics. His plasma research has also a broad spectrum of potential applications from materials processing to applications in energy and bacteria detection.
