A prestigious international award for Federico Rosei, Professor of Industrial Chemistry at the Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Trieste, is among the winners of the Nano Energy Award 2025. This is one of the most important international prizes in the field of nanoenergy, awarded every two years during the International Conference on Nanoenergy and Nanosystems (NENS). The official ceremony will take place on 30th June 2025 in Beijing, where Professor Rosei will also give a plenary lecture.

The prize was awarded for his pioneering contributions to the study of innovative nanomaterials, such as multiferroic materials and quantum dots. More specifically, Professor Rosei analysed the relationships between the structure and properties of these materials, using them as building blocks in nanoscale energy conversion devices, including photovoltaic cells, photoelectrochemical cells for hydrogen production and solar windows. His research has revealed new perspectives for the development of advanced solar technologies and innovative electronic devices.

Over the course of his career, Federico Rosei has won several important international awards. Among the most recent are the Nanotechnology Recognition Award 2024 from the American Vacuum Society (AVS), appointment as Fellow of the Materials Research Society, Fellowship Award 2024 from the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) and election as Foreign member of the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science.

His scientific work focuses on next-generation energy technologies based on nanomaterials, with an emphasis on the production, transformation and application of inorganic, organic and biocompatible materials. Professor Rosei is also internationally recognised for his commitment to training young researchers and promoting scientific excellence on a global scale.
