Career History

Fethi Bedioui is a Director of Research at the CNRS. He started to work in the area of “Molecular Materials for Electrochemical Analysis and Catalysis” in 1982 in the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris (ENSCP) at Paris (France) and created his own group in 1994. His work has focused on polymer-based and zeolite, clay and molecular sieve-encapsulated metal complexes (Schiff bases, porphyrins, phthalocyanines etc...) with a particular emphasis on their application in biomimetics, electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, electroanalysis and biosensing in biological systems.

 

His work now focuses on electroanalytical chemistry both at a fundamental level and applied areas for the rational study of molecular redox mechanisms, electrochemical processes and material designs. His activity is related to the design of new “intelligent” catalytic materials devoted to the biomimetic activation of molecular oxygen or organic halides and the construction of (bio)sensors for the elaboration of detection systems. Electropolymerized metalloporphyrin, phthalocyanine and Schiff base based films have been prepared and characterised for both catalytic and analytical applications for environmental analysis of organic polutants and biological analysis of nitric oxide.
