VERSAILLES
Jeune docteur, diplômé en 2011, j'effectue actuellement un post-doc au commissariat à l'énergie atomique (CEA).
MASTER’s RESEARCH SUMMARY
Field: Solar energy, electrochemistry
End Objectives: Study of the electrolytic reduction of solid SiO2 and K2SiF6 in molten Fluoride (FLINaK) at 550°C aiming at the production of solar grade silicon
Applications: Synthesis of low cost silicon solar panel material
PhD RESEARCH SUMMARY
Field: Materials and nanoscience, catalysis, in-situ characterization, technique development
End Objectives: Implementation of a “controlled atmosphere” Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) on an adapted sample holder. The latter was combined to an in-situ-EXAFS and in-situ-UV-Vis approaches to follow the formation and the evolution of silver nanospecies on a porous oxide support
Application: Low cost air treatment catalysts development (deNOX and VOC catalytic decomposition)
