Easy to fabricate, both sides poly-Si passivating contact bottom cell for Perovskite/Silicon tandem devices – EPoBoC
To reach conversion efficiencies beyond silicon solar cells physical limit of 29.4%, innovation is needed while reducing environmental impact of industrial processes. Multi-junction solar cells that encompass silicon and perovskite subcells offer a very promising option to continue the needed effici
Stochastic Orders and Constrained Transport – SOCOT
Our goal is to improve understanding and extend the range of applications of stochastic orders ubiquitous objects in probability, statistics and mathematics of decision-making in connection with the weak optimal transport theory, that is an important setting of the generalized transport theory and c
Plastronic Heat Pipe for the Direct Cooling of Power Electronic Components – CAPREP
The electrification of means of transport requires the development of converters from battery DC voltage to AC voltage for vehicule motorisations. An increase in the performance of these power converters requires power electronic components with very good performance as Gallium Arsenide (GaN) transi
Comprehensive studies for the qualification of an industrial process for PuCl3 synthesis – NIOUSALT
In molten salt nuclear reactors, fissile material is dissolved as a halide—typically chloride or fluoride—in a molten salt mixture that serves as both solvent and heat transfer fluid, while also acting as a containment barrier. Fluorides have been extensively studied so far but chlorides are now fav
Generalised Optimal Transport and Applications – GOTA
This project deals with some generalizations of Optimal Transport problems and their applications. We plan to tackle three main topics: multi-marginal optimal transport (and applications in risk measures and quantum chemistry), multi-population models in urban planning and entropic optimal transpor
Thermal Barrier Coatings for greener heat-to-power applications: understanding limits of operation under hydrogen combustion and sustainable outlook – TBC4H2
The goal of the project is to gain new knowledge on the high temperature behaviour of Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBC) deposited using Suspension Plasma Spraying (SPS) and Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition (EB-PVD) methods on a single crystal Ni-base superalloy with diffusion and overlay bond co
Dipolar relaxation on-demand in nanoparticle-polypeptide hybrid materials – DINAPO
The DINAPO project aims at combining nanoparticles (NPs) and peptidic polymers to form hybrid materials, structured at the nanoscale, tuned by the nature of the building blocks and responsive to external stimuli (electrical, mechanical and optical). Our ambition is to couple the intrinsic functional
Design of spintronic ferroelectric architectures for ultra-low power memories, post-CMOS logic and neuromorphic computing – SPINFROST
The tremendous increasing of data collection, analysis, storage and processing has raised concerns towards the optimization and rethinking of the edge-computing paradigm. Indeed, moving the data analysis and processing closer to the location where the data is collected and eventually stored, is the
Complex structures produced by additive manufacturing and Epanizing – X-FA2023
Metal Additive Manufacturing (MAM) is a major field of study and innovation. Transportation industry, and in particular the aerospace industry, presently devotes considerable efforts in modelling designs that optimize simultaneously weight, mechanical resistance and functional operation. Despite al
Biomimetic Anti-Icing surfaces for eco efficient ice-slurry generators – COOLISSE
Refrigeration is an energy-intensive industry (20% of national electricity) and has till now used greenhouse gases emitting primary refrigerants. Secondary refrigeration is an effective way to drastically reduce the quantity of primary refrigerant fluid used (by a factor of up to 10) while improving
