Contact: grazia.accardo@uniparthenope.it
Grazia Accardo received MSc in Science and Technology of Industrial Chemistry (magna cum laude) from the University of Naples Federico II in March 2009. She won several post graduate scholarships in R&D Projects between 2009 and 2012 at University of Napoli Parthenope and performed her post graduate training in Material Science.
She was awarded her Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering in 2015 with a dissertation on “Electrical and Microstructure Characterization of Ceramic Gadolinium Doped Ceria for ITSOFCs by a controlled sol-gel route”.
She also worked as Teaching and Administrative Assistant (2012) and as Invited Researcher in EMPA-Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology for a R&D project (2013).
In June 2015 she was invited as visiting scientist at the “Fuel Cell Research Center” of Korea Institute for Science and Technology (Seoul, South Korea) for a research project in partnership with ENEA (GLOBAL RESEARCH LAB.PROJECT). Her activity in Kist was focused both on materials and components improvements, and on the applications with alternative fuels and their specific requirements and operating conditions, offering solutions to increase Molten Carbonate and Solid Oxide Fuel Cell.
Her recent work includes:

Her recent work includes:
- studies in the development of new Ni/Al based alloy anodes for Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell to improve the durability and the reliability of MCFC anode materials;
- fabrication of MCFC components and their chemical-physical characterization;
- studies of mechanical properties of molten carbonate fuel cell component and fuel cell test
