Fromm Research Group research interests based on coordination compounds and nanomaterials, covers several aspects like; the bioinorganic chemistry of silver, silver compounds and nanoparticles; they study their antimicrobial effect with the aim to use silver and its compounds as coatings for implants. In parallel, they investigate resistance mechanisms of bacteria against silver at the molecular level, as well as the biomineralization of silver from bacteria. Another research axis is around new compounds and nanomaterials for batteries; the improved battery performances using nano-LiCoO2 and nano-LiMnPO4 as active cathode materials. Read more
