All-Polymer Solar Cells – POLYSOLPV
POLYSOLPV HAs the objective to demonstrate over the next 3 years a new generation of cheap and printable polymer-based solar cells with a power conversion efficiency of 9-10%. The cost of photovoltaic cells based on silicon has been a major impediment to their widespread deployment and organic photo
Exhaust gas selective sensing using printed RF gas sensors – CARDIF_Ukraine
Exposure to toxic gases or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) affects safety and public health. More than 6.5 million deaths per year worldwide are attributed to environmental pollution (indoor and outdoor air quality). With the Internet of Things, large-scale deployment of gas sensors becomes access
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
Ge-based Single Photon Avalanche Diodes: from comprehensive characterization to advanced simulation – GeSPAD
The GeSPAD project is devoted to achieve a major breakthrough in the development of the next-generation of Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPAD), a high-sensitivity optoelectronic detector with many applications in X-ray tomography, biochemical sensors, DNA/protein microarray scanning, engine/turbin
Electrical eFfects on InterfaCial thermAl resistanCE – EFICACE
Nowadays, integrated circuits consist of very dense assemblies of heterogeneous materials at lengths scales below the diffusive regime of heat conduction. These materials are the place of many interfaces that are limiting heat dissipation. In this context, metal semi-conductor junctions are targets
Nonlocal models for complex, cohesive granular flows – MoNoCoCo
Granular materials (powders, grains) are ubiquitous in industrial processes but often problematic to handle as they easily agglomerate and jam : this yields excessive energy and resource demands. The processes associated to flows of these materials (as feed or product) often involve phenomena like a
Evolution des propriétés macroscopiques d'argiles compactées et soumises à l'infiltration de polluants métalliques – METALCLAY
Nowadays, subsurface landfill is the main final destination of household and industrial wastes and residues obtained after incineration (bottom and fly ashes). According to the European legislation, engineered clay barriers are put on the sides and bottom of each pit, in order to prevent any polluti
Simulation of latex drying: from the fundamentals to complex formulation – LatexDry_Ukraine
While it is well known that the drying of latex films play a critical role in paints, cosmetics and inks, a realistic description of the drying process is in fact not yet available. The final properties of the film, such as its adhesion, its optical and mechanical properties depend not only on the f
Photoactive Silicon gas diffusion electrodes for solar assisted electrochemical conversion of CO2 – SIROCCO
The main goal of SIROCCO is to design high efficiency photocathodes for the photoelectrochemical reduction of CO2 (PEC-CO2RR) by advantageously combining gas diffusion photoactive supports based on silicon micropillars to bimetallic nanocatalysts (specifically, PdCu and AgCu). The aim is to improve
PhysiCal Analysis of evaPoration and sloshing phenomena in LH2 transport tanks – CAPLH2
Hydrogen as a source of energy is massively investigated by car constructors and has always been a subject in rocket design. The transport of medium to large-scale hydrogen vessels is conducted in its liquid form at low temperature (20K) for energy efficiency. LH2 is stored in super insulated tanks
