Supply chain design with an environmental performance-sensitive demand – CONCLuDE
The environmental performance of products has become a competitive factor for companies and an important purchasing criterion for customers. However, this environmental performance depends on logistical decisions such as the location/allocation of production sites, the choice of suppliers, the selec
Electroleaching-Electrodeposition For recovery of Precious metals from electrical / electronic equipments – EE4Precious
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipments (WEEE), and especially Printed Circuit Boards (PCB), represent a secondary resource rich in precious metals (PM). So-called “rich” PCB (laptops, smartphones, tablets, data centers…) contain typically 50-100 ppm of Platinum Group Metals (PGM), and 50-500 ppm
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
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
Laser printing of organic thin film transistors – ILTO
In the frame of the project e-PLAST (ANR Blanc 2006), CINaM (Centre Interdisciplinaire de Nanoscience de Marseille) and LP3 laboratories have succeeded to print for the first time an Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT) by means of a laser process. This process called LIFT (Laser-Induced Forward Tran
MULTI spectral SOLar cells based on SIlicon – MULTISOLSI
The MULTISOLSI project consists in studying, designing and optimizing the electrical junction between two relaxed lattice mismatched materials with zero or negligible strain relaxation defects, namely Ga1-xInxAs and Si in the first instance, in order to optimize a final GaAs/Si/ Ga0.24In0.76As tripl
Molecular Characterization of Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Membranes for Gas Separation under Harsh Conditions – MOLHYB
Gas separation by dense polymer membranes is a very promising alternative to the cryogenic distillation or adsorption separation processes due to its much lower energy costs. This is critical for chemical industries, where the separation of mixtures accounts for over 50% of the energy costs. In addi
VIRTualization of Experimental facilities in structural aCoustics by wall pressure syntHesis – VIRTECH
Noise pollution and acoustic comfort are major challenges in product design, particularly in the transportation industry. Evaluating the acoustic performance of structures such as windows or portholes, aircraft fuselages, or even frames and openings in buildings requires the use of specific faciliti
Dynamics of Green Growth in European and Chinese Cities (DRAGON) – DRAGON
Beyond national policies, city-level policies are more and more recognized as key components of global strategies to mitigate GHG emissions. In particular, land-use regulations, transport taxation, or investments in clean transportation modes could reduce car use. However, each city is different, an
Real-time dynamics in strongly correlated mesoscopic systems – DYMESYS
The initial objectives of this project are firstly to build numerical theoretical tools to describe the non-equilibrium transport through a quantum dot in Kondo regime and more generally correlated mesoscopic nanostructure. Secondly, we aim at characterizing experimentally by transport probes the
