Non-Fullerene-Acceptor based polymer solar cells with 15% efficiency and 10-year lifetime – NFA-15
Polymer solar cells have seen a performance gain of 6% to 13% between 2015 and 2017 thanks to the use of non fullerene acceptors (NFAs). The NFA-15 project aims to develop new NFAs and an approach based on ternary blends to achieve 15% performance at laboratory level. In addition, a transfer of NFA technology at the industrial level is targeted to obtain modules at 10%, i.e. 8-9% after stabilization, and a lifetime of 7 to 10 years.
Design of an improved Calvin-Benson Cycle for efficient CO2 fixation and photoproduction of biofuels and chemicals by microalgae and cyanobacteria – CalvinDesign
Photosynthesis is limited by the capacity to fix carbon. A better understanding of these limitations is a major challenge to improve not only the production of biofuels and photosynthetic bioproducts but also agricultural yields, which have been stagnating for several years.
For WATER Quality Monitoring – 4WATER
This project aims at developing a first generation (proof of concept) of low cost water quality sensors based on carbon nanotube field effect transistors. We will first target the measurement of the pH, as well as the concentration of dissolved oxygen, NH4+ and NO3-.
ultra-wide Bandgaps for futuRE high power electronic ApPlications – BREAkuP
The aim of this project is to explore and to develop radically new material systems based on AlN ultra-wide bandgaps for future power devices providing higher robustness and superior temperature operation towards the ultimate all-binary AlN/GaN/AlN heterostructure. The AlN material will enable high efficiency operation beyond 1200 V as well as higher power performances in the millimeter-wave range, which is not currently reachable by GaN devices.
Effects of diet changes on market equilibrium, value sharing, public health, environment and land use. – DIETPLUS
The Diet+ project proposes to analyze diets in France, by focusing on the relationships between the market mechanisms and the overall quality of diet. The overall quality includes the quality of the consumption context, the food quality, the quality of the environment, the land use and the environment, and the criteria in public health.
Trade Liberalization and Exporter Dynamics – LICODYN
This project develops a theoretical model explaining the entry, growth and exit of French exporters. In this model, firms infer from their first export performance a signal of future success in entering other markets. This mechanism helps to explain the observed age-dependent dynamics of new exporters and creates a new channel through which bilateral trade liberalization has spillover effects on third countries.
Electron Spin for CULtural heritage And PEople's safeguard – ESCULAPE
Use metal ions, impurities and paramagnetic defects to reveal the origin and evolution of materials that make up heritage objects
Catalytic Activation of CO2 towards Carboxylic Acids and Esters Mediated by Organometallic Precursors – CO22CHEM
Reductive Coupling of CO2 with Alkenes towards Carboxylic Acids and Esters Catalyzed by Organometallic Precursors Based on Transition Metals and upon Using Hydrosilanes or Hydrogen as Reductants
