Full counting statistics of single electron transfer events in electrochemical processes as a new approach for ultimate biosensing – SIBI
The first and main objective of the SIBI project is to develop an «all-electronic« detection system allowing the counting of single electron transfer events, a major challenge in nanoelectrochemistry. The proposed methodology is based on the measurement of the variation of a few mV induced by the st
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
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
Superconducting motor for aircraft application – FROST
Air transport has grown by about 9% every year since 1950 and has made the world smaller on a human scale. However, commercial flights remain expensive and account for 2% of human emissions of CO2. As a result, airlines and the aviation industry envision tomorrow's transportation, which will require
3D Bragg ptychography: Developments for metallic nano-twinned thin films – PtyMet
The project is built on two objectives: the first concerns materials, the second is more methodological. Indeed, we want to develop nano-twinned gold thin films. We believe that these films will combine ductility (because gold is initially ductile and that the twins can migrate or enlarge), mechanic
ECO-friendly alkaline-earth silicides for THERMoelectric applications – ECOTHERM
In recent decades, the search for new green energy sources has become a major economic and ecological challenge. Their adoption requires a reduction in costs and improvements in reliability, durability, and efficiency to compete with current fossil and nuclear energies. Among these, thermoelectric g
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
Development and characterization of a multifonctional window for energy savings and indoor air quality – WINFIL
The building sector represents 44% of the energy consumption in France. It is responsible of more than 123 million tonnes of C02 emissions, making it one of the key areas of the energy transition. At the same time, the increasing pollution of the air in urban areas, especially airborne particles, se
