Rachid Yazami is a graduate from the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble(INPG) in 1978, where he took his Ph. D. in 1985 on a study of graphite intercalation compounds for lithium battery application. The same year he joined le Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) where he eventually was promoted a Research Director (Professor)in 1998. +  - In 1980 Yazami was first to discover the reversible intercalation of lithium into graphite in an electrochemical cell using a polymer electrolyte. Later Yazami's invention led to the lithium-graphite anode nowdays used in commercial lithium ion batteries. Yazami also worked on other forms of graphite materials for cathode application in lithium batteries, including graphite oxide and graphite fluoride. + This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot.

Yazami is the co-inventor involved in over 50 patents related to lithium primary and rechargeable batteries and on fluoride ion batteries. He is the co-founder of CFX Battery, Inc. a Caltech-CNRS start up in Azusa, California. - Currently Yazami holds the Nanyang Visiting Professor in Materials Science and Engineering position at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. He is also the Director of the Battery Programs at the Energy Research Institute at NTU.
