Functional Materials for Energy Storage

ATASET

The development of renewable energies, often intermittent by nature, requires the use of energy storage means. This project focuses on the storage of thermal energy using phase change materials (PCM). These are substances capable of undergoing a change of state, typically between solid and liquid states, while absorbing or releasing thermal energy. The targeted application… Read More »ATASET

COLIBRHIS

Lithium ionic conductors from the Li3PS4 – Li4SiS4 thio-LISICON binary Safety, cost, energy, power… four concepts that are driving energy storage research worldwide. While the lithium-ion technology powers most of the devices currently available on the market (transport, communication, stationary storage) as being competitive and of high energy-density, it cannot totally prevent the risks of… Read More »COLIBRHIS

OPACPEC

Optimisation of lithium batteries using pectins as an anode binder This OPACPEC/Master’s 2 project will focus on understanding the nature and strength of the interactions between silicon, a promising and much-studied material for the negative electrode (anode) of lithium batteries, and pectin, a bio-sourced polymer binder that holds the electrode together. The idea of this… Read More »OPACPEC

THE FORCE

The contribution of atomic force microscopy techniques to the observation of microstructure of lithium-ion battery electrodes obtained by dry process The “THE FORCE” project aims to leverage Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) techniques to observe the microstructure of lithium-ion battery electrodes produced by dry processing. Currently, the production of lithium-ion battery electrodes uses toxic solvents, which… Read More »THE FORCE
