OXYDES
Functional oxides for energy efficiency : nanostructuration and combinatorial synthesis
Oxides are easy to produce, low cost, health- and environment-friendly while being stable in a large range of temperatures. They have a variety of magnetic, mechanical and electrical properties which make them essential materials in many fields related to energy efficiency. These properties, often resulting from multiple competitive interactions, vary rapidly according to their composition and dimensionality (crystals, thin films, massive ceramics, nanopowders, nanowires...) They also depend on the intrinsic interfaces of materials (grain boundaries...) or artificial interfaces (composite materials, multilayers). In addition, functionality and performance depend on the micro and / or the nanostructure (porosity, exchange surface and stress response).
GREMAN has adopted a multi-scale material approach that explores their fundamental properties and puts forward practical applications.
OXYDES team focuses on three research operations :
Nanostructuration and combinatorial chemistry
