Research Interests

The expertise of Marinella covers nano structured materials (semiconductor quantum dots, perovskite nanocrystals, oxides, plasmonic nanoparticles, hetero structures, carbon dots), hybrid organic-inorganic nanomaterials, their self or driven assembly, as well as nanocomposite materials and their chemical-physical, morphological and spectroscopic characterization, for application in optoelectronic and energy conversion. She has actively worked as PI in several European Projects (H2020 FET, large 7FP EU Projects) and in several National and Regional Projects. She is co-author of more than 170 peer-reviewed papers, one patent and 7 book chapters, guest editors of special issues and member of the editorial Board of international journals in the field of nanomaterials.
