Bio-based production of hydrocarbons using a new photoenzyme – PHOTOALKANE
The climatic consequences of using fossil reserves make it necessary to develop more environmentally-friendly biofuels. While most industrial developments have focused on the production of bioethanol or oil (converted to biodiesel), microbial production of medium-chain hydrocarbons (C7-C13) is emerg
Bidimensional RF optoelectronic devices based on PtSe2 – BIRDS
The scientific goal of BIRDS is to extend the spectral performances of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC)-based optical detectors beyond the natural limit of 1µm fixed by the usual bandgaps in these materials (MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, WSe2, etc..). Reaching longer wavelengths in the infrared (1.55 µm
Beyond conventional electrocatalysts: hollow metal nanocrystallites for PEMFC applications – HOLLOW
There is an urgent need to address the environmental and energy challenges that the planet is facing. The main issue at stake is the so-called global warming, which is linked to the combination of two phenomena: an increasing demand for fossil fuels in spite of their limited availability and a conco
Benzothioxanthene and derivatives: promising building blocks for organic electronics – BTXI-APOGEE
BTXI-APOGEE is a highly innovative and therefore challenging project since almost everything remains to be discovered. Great forgotten of the organic electronic success story, the benzothioxanthene turns out to be a promising and high potential block in terms of synthetic versatility and properties.
Band Gap Engineering of Titanium dioxide nanotubes for solar Energy conversion – BAGETE
Solar energy is amongst the most attractive renewable energies. However, due to its diffuse and fluctuating nature, producing a stable flow of energy from the sun remains a challenge. To overcome this problem, the project aims to develop materials for a photo-electrochemical process (PEC) allowing t
BaTiO3 nanocrystals tracking in Deep biological tissues using Adaptive optics: in-vivo investigations of intraneuronal transport abnormalities – BADASS
BADASS project focuses on the tracking of moving nanoparticles in cells and in-vivo, in both real-time and super-localization regimes. Implementing an optimized and fast adaptive optics loop to a two-photon tracking microscope (already developed) is at the technical heart of the project. The device
BROADBAND ENERGY SCAVENGING TECHNOLOGIES FOR MICRO ELECTRO-MECHANICAL SYSTEMS – BESTMEMS
The spreading of wireless sensors has raised the issue of power supply. While chemical batteries are most common solution, they feature severe limitations in confined environments and/or under harsh operating conditions. As an example, Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) usually feature lifespan
BIsmuth BasEd LOw Temperature Sofc – BIBELOTS
Hydrogen is rising as one of the possible ways to deliver energy with a low carbon dioxide footprint. Fuel cells, devices converting the chemical energy of H2 in electrical energy appears as an important part of the grid of tomorrow. In particular Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) benefit from a high he
BIOcompatible and BIOfunctional porous electrodes for miniaturized enzymatic biofuel cells – BIO3
The objective of our work is to design a fully integrated, extremely miniaturized and perfectly biocompatible glucose/O2 biofuel cell (BFC) as an in-vivo source of electricity that may power for example, a subcutaneously implanted, continuous glucose monitor for diabetes management. However, nume
Automorphing composites structures by 4D printing – CompoMorph
Coriolis Composite's activities concern the development of automated manufacturing tools for composite structures by depositing composite tapes. The “custom” placement of ribbons/reinforcements allows you to benefit from the advantages of composite materials, namely the optimized performance of lami
