Interests and Research#

Developed in co-operation with leading researchers based in more than 20 countries, his Group's research is reported in more than 400 frequently cited research papers, 48 of which feature on the cover of journals such as Materials Advances, ChemSusChem, and Nanoscale.​

“IntegroPectin”, "CuproGraf", “NiGraf”, “CytroCell”, “AetnAsh”, “CytroCav”, “AquaSun”, “SiliOrange”, “AnchoisOil”, “LimoFish”, "AetnAsh", “AnchoisFert”, “SiliaSun”​ and “HyTan”, and “GreenCaps” are some of the names created by Dr Pagliaro to identify new functional materials and new enabling technologies jointly developed by Mario Pagliaro's Lab.

He has authored or co-authored 22 books, some of which have become the reference in their field. His work has been widely highlighted by national and international press, including by MIT Technology Review, TheWorld, Advanced Science News, Italy's national television, newspapers and magazines.

Frequently cited for his excellence in teaching, he is regularly invited to give lectures and seminars on the topics of his research. In 2005 he was appointed “Maître de conférences associé”at Montpellier’s Ecole Nationale Superieure de Chimie.

In 2008, when a few scholars believed in the forthcoming emergence of photovoltaic technology as a significant contributor to the global energy generation mix, Dr Pagliaro introduced the term "helionomics" in book Flexible Solar Cells, shortly afterwards translated in Chinese.

Online since 2000, his website https://www.qualitas1998.net contains all his team's research papers self-archived and updated information on his research, educational and public outreach activities.
