All-Solid-state litHium sulfUr Battery with a poLymer Electrolyte – SHUTTLE
Li metal is the best negative electrode due to its low electrochemical potential and high capacity, at least 10 times higher than that of graphite in Li-ion battery. However, the uneven Li electrodeposition onto metallic Li produces dendrites limiting the battery coulombic efficiency and which may g
The memory of riverine sediments used to predict the environmental impact of new technologies – TRAJECTOIRE
Le projet TRAJECTOIRE vise à établir, aux exutoires des grands bassins versants français (Rhône, Loire, Seine, Garonne, Rhin, Meuse, Moselle), les trajectoires des contaminants apportés par l'Homme. Il s'agit d'étudier leur parcours, depuis leur introduction dans l'environnement, jusqu'à leur présen
Smart Pillared Carbon Materials for Supercapacitors: from fundamental understanding of ion transport to device testing – SPICS
The objectives of the SPICS project are to develop and characterize 3D carbon materials for supercapacitors, designed from graphene sheets assembled using molecular pillars playing an active role in storage processes. The properties of polarity, redox or the poly-electrolytic nature of these pillars
Ignition Combustion Explosion Environment and Energetic Materials – ACXEME
This project aims at improving energetic systems, both explosive and propulsive, operating with gaseous fuels (WP1) and solid fuels (WP2 to WP5). The two sides of these improvements will be: - Optimization of energetic materials and of systems designed for their use, - Prediction capacity in terms
Sublingual Vaccination by polysaccharide-based patch – BuccaVac
We propose a pioneering approach that has never been addressed to date and will go well beyond the current state-of-the-art strategies for sublingual vaccination: association of a mucoadhesive delivery system with a particulate antigen formulation containing an immunostimulant. Such new technology i
Deciphering the biophysical basis by which glycosaminoglycans control growth factor signaling during development: a biomimetic approach – GlyCON
During recent years, increasing evidence has been accumulated that the activity and bioavailability of growth factors (GFs) in the tissue is determined by the extracellular matrix, in particular by the heparan sulfate (HS) chains of proteoglycans, which interact with distinct basic domains of the G
Effect of non-nutritive sweeteners on vascular function: deciphering the role of the T1R sweet-taste receptors – SOSweet
Non-nutritive sweeteners consumption as an alternative to high-energy food and beverages is expanding worldwide. This consumption is associated with weight gain and increased risk of type 2 diabetes and/or cardiovascular events. However, underlying mechanisms to better understand the physiological e
Data integration from multiprobe sensor networks to assess risk scenario’s at volcanic hydrothermal ecosystems – DIRE
1 – Geophysics and Remote Sensing Data Mining: Use of decadal-scale time series of seismic, deformation, gas, thermal and electrical resistivity data acquired by ground- and satellite-based sensors, to constrain levels of activity and relations with volcanic processes. 2 – Application of Deep Le
InGaN nano-pyramid-based Multi-terminal multi-junction Solar cells – INMoSt
In terms of efficiency, as of today, multi-junction SC are the only concept to demonstrate performance overcoming the single-junction Schockley-Queisser limit (33%) and reach industrial applications. They rely on the fact that higher conversion efficiencies can be reached by dividing the solar spect
South West Indian Geotraces Section – SWINGS
In the remote Southern Ocean (SO) considered as a nutrient “hub” between the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, the sources, sinks and processes controlling vital nutrient distribution remain a black-box to date. In this context, SWINGS is a multidisciplinary 4-year project dedicated to elucidate
