ORION puts together a multidisciplinary consortium of leading European universities, research institutes and industries with the overall goal of developing new knowledge on the fabrication of inorganic-organic hybrid materials using ionic liquids. Maximum research efforts within ORION will be addressed to achieve inorganic-organic hybrids with an ordered nanostructure and to understand and characterize the next generation of inorganic-organic hybrids for energy conversion and storage. The final goal is to optimize the best possible materials and processing methods for increasing the performance of batteries and innovative solar cells. The work in ORION is associated with the search of new sustainable materials for two of the alternative and complementary solutions to the energy shortage and high-oil prize coming era. (en)
