Solar cells using lead-free hybrid perovskites – SuperSansPlomb
Presently, perovskite photovoltaics almost exclusively relies on the use of toxic lead containing compounds, the application of which are strictly regulated by the government because of their negative effects on human and animal health and the environment. The main goal of the project is to develop
Soft in HArd MAgnetic Nanocomposites – SHAMAN
A magnet’s energy product, which quantifies the work that can be done by the magnet, is a key figure of merit for comparing magnets. The energy product of magnets doubled in value every 12 years in the last century, due to the discovery of new hard magnetic phases with improved intrinsic properties
Soft Defects Diagnosis in wired networks – SODDA
In thirty years, the cable length in cars was multiplied by ten, now more than 4000 meters. In a modern car, one counts up to 100 sensors and 1800 connections: the interconnection network is regarded by manufacturers as a weak part of modern vehicles. The increase in complexity is accompanied by the
Smart and sustainable composite materials for naval structures health monitoring – SMATSH
Transition towards sustainable transport and more reactive and stealthy military vessels cannot be achieved without composite materials. However the use of Maritime Composites (MCs) for civilian ships or military vessels requires robust and efficient in-situ waves-based structural health monitoring
Smart and innovative packaging, post-harvest rot management and shipping of organic citrus fruit – BiOrangePack
The overall objective of the project is to increase the efficiency, sustainability and competitiveness of the post-farming processing chain of organic citrus fruit, by intervening points of weakness and the unresolved problems of this supply chain. Consistently with the scope, specific objectives in
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
Single-cell imaging of host-parasite metabolic interactions in the liver – iMET
The main focus of the project is the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), the master regulator of global cellular metabolism. Because of emerging single-cell scale technologies revealing a significant spatial heterogeneity in hepatic AMPK gene expression and function, and because Plasmodium hepatic
Simulation of thermal Interface Resistances: ENAble first principle molecular dynamics via heat transients – SIRENA
In a device, the heat path from the active part to the heat sink involves generally several layers of different materials. At each interface, a thermal resistance has to be accounted for in addition to the resistance of layer itself. Understanding and quantifying interface thermal resistances is th
Simulation of latex drying: from the fundamentals to complex formulation – LatexDry
While it is well known that the drying of latex films play a critical role in paints, cosmetics and inks, a realistic description of the drying process is in fact not yet available. The final properties of the film, such as its adhesion, its optical and mechanical properties depend not only on the f
