DYe-Sensitized p-type Photocathodes with Optimized transport and panchromatic absorption properties for solar Water-splitting – DYSPOW
Among the emerging technologies allowing the production of hydrogen directly from solar light, dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells appeared to be a very promising technology. However, in spite of some encouraging results reported over the past years, there is still a strong need of fundamental
DYNAMIC Activation of Magnesium-Based ComposiTes for Hydrogen Storage – ADyCT
Hydrogen is a key issue for renewable energies. The solid-state storage of hydrogen in the form of metallic hydrides offers numerous advantages, including safety, in comparison with cryogenic liquid and compressed gas possibilities. Magnesium, an abundant and relatively cheap metal, reacts with hydr
DIAMOND VERTICAL POWER MOSFET – MOVeToDiam
The ambition of the MOVeToDiam program is to achieve a major technological breakthrough by implementing crucial technological steps in the emerging «Diamond Semiconductor« sector. The targeted devices are based on MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) structures: a vertical p-channel U-MOSFET (metal-oxide
DEsign of Low emission and efficient Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines – DELHYCE
Europe is defining its trajectory to assume its ecological transition, its “Green Deal”, through the implementation of a set of political initiatives. In front of an inflexible guideline, considered sometimes dogmatic, the European Parliament aims to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent.
Crowd Control: from control theory to applications to road traffic – CroCo
In recent years, the study of collective behavior of a crowd of autonomous agents has drawn a great interest from scientific communities, e.g. in civil engineering (for emergency egress and traffic problems), robotics (coordination of robots), computer science and sociology (social networks), and bi
Cross-diffusion systems in moving domains – COMODO
The production of the thin film inside of which occur the photovoltaic phenomena accounting for the efficiency of the whole solar cell is done via a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process. More precisely, a substrate wafer is introduced in a hot chamber where the different chemical species composin
Croissance des COuches Semipolaires de semiconducteurs NItrures de qualité optimale pour applications opto-électroniques – COSNI
Wurtzite III-nitride semiconductors (AlN, GaN, InN) exhibit a large spontaneous polarization along the conventional growth axis, c- . In nanostructured components, electric fields as high as 10 MV/cm are commonly present. This leads to poor recombination efficiency, broadening of luminescence peaks
Creative activities in Virtual Environmental Spaces – CREATIVENESS
CREATIVENESS is a program of research composed of experimental studies to gain a better understanding of how functional and representational features associated with Multi-User Virtual Environments (MUVEs) could have an effect on individual and collaborative processes involved in creative tasks and
Coupling between transport and reactivity in micro- and nano-confined systems. Applications to electrochemistry, catalysis and life sciences – MicroNanoChem
The main aim of this project is the creation of a new research group in the UMR 8640 CNRS unit of the Chemistry Department of Ecole Normale Supérieure, whose researches will be focused on theoretical aspects of the coupling between transport and reactivity in micro- or nanoconfined systems. The orig
Coupling between hydrodynamics and surfactant transport at interfaces: experimental and numerical challenges. – HydroSurfDyn
The two phenomena involved (hydrodynamic and transport of surfactants) are widely studied in the literature, but their coupling is still often misunderstood. The boundary conditiosn for the flow are not known a priori, but they must be determined from the coupling between the flow and the surfactan
