Nanofluidic Energy Conversion with (re)Active suRfaces – NECtAR
Water desalination and sustainable energy harvesting are among the greatest challenges of our society, and nanofluidics offers promising solutions to address them. Nanofluidic energy conversion systems rely on electrokinetic (EK) effects, which couple different types of transport (hydrodynamic, elec
Nano-antenna arrays for next-generation solar cells – NANOCELL
Reducing the absorber thickness is one of the main issues for most photovoltaic technologies, because of the material cost or scarcity, and potential efficiency improvements with higher carrier concentration. Hence, highly efficient energy conversion in ultra-small volumes of semiconductors is a maj
Nano-Enabled Antimicrobial Food Packaging Incorporating Natural Bioactives from Mediterranean Agri-Wastes – A- BLOCK
Active food packaging systems have gained a lot of interest as they play a critical role in extending the shelf life of food products while reducing the risk of microbial growth. It is well known that extending the shelf life of food by even one day has a huge impact on sustainability in terms of co
NanOswimmers for Medicine And Diagnosis – NOMAD
The aim of this proposal is to propose the most efficient and controlled microswimmers with radio controlled therapy function like drug delivery. The swimming performance and colloidal cargo transport function of microswimmers will be evaluated inside smart microfluidic control platform. A final exp
NanOdevice mODeling for Low powEr applicationS – NOODLES
Nowadays, the nanoelectronics market is dominated by mobile applications for which ultra-low operating power (LOP) devices are required. Hence, the research efforts are devoted not so much to increase the electrical performance of the single processor, which can be achieved by using an aggressive co
NAno-buildiNg blOcks based on octahedraL molybdEnum clusTers for the design of Structured inorGanic phOtoelectrodes for Solar energy conversion – NanoLEtsGOs
NanoLEtsGOs is a multidisciplinary project aiming at designing original inorganic photoelectrodes built from abundant metal and low-toxic metal cluster (MC)-based nanobuilding blocks. MCs will be used as new light-harvesters to propose innovative, clean and efficient devices for sunlight conversion
Mécanismes moléculaires de la compartimentation des métaux chez les cellules végétales – DISTRIMET
Background Transition metals are essential for many functions in living cells. They are required for electron transfer reactions during respiration and photosynthesis which take place in specific intracellular organelles: mitochondria and chloroplasts. On the other hand, due to their physico-chemica
Mutualization and Optimization of Urban Freights Distribution – MODUM
Various projects have been implemented in recent years or are underway in the context of freight transport in urban areas. However far the projects are limited to a partial vision of transport. This project aims to take into account all systems (single owner, centralized, self-service, etc.), as wel
Multiscale modelling of solvent phases for solvent extraction – MULTISEPAR
The recycling of rare earths is all the more important as their extraction is currently mainly carried out by a single country, at a high environmental cost. Liquid-liquid extraction enables these metals to be recycled by separating them selectively. Certain metallic elements, in ionic form, are tra
Multiscale modeling of the radiative properties of materials for energy: impact of the texture disorder – OUTWARDS
The attitude of citizens towards the environment has significantly evolved over the last few decades, especially after the 1973 oil crisis. The necessity of showing regard to basic environmental policies is now apprehended by a growing number of people. However changing the habits of all the actors
