A new position is opened in the group for a motivated master student (M2 – 6 months). Topic: nanoparticles synthesis – intermetallics – energy conversion.
Please write me for details. All applications welcome!
New comers!
We warmly welcome our two new PhD students: Guillaume funded by the French National Agency for Research, and Yang funded by the Chinese Scholarship Council and the Innitiative of Excellence Labex MATISSE. Lots of exciting research in the pipeline!
Electrocatalysis with new two-dimensional nano-oxides
Our new work with UCMadrid and José M. González-Calbet’s group is out in Chemistry of Materials! Another example of this fruitful collaboration for the design of functional nanoscaled oxides, this time in aqueous media. Congrats to Alberto and Francisco for their really nice work.

New member!
Welcome to Naoual, our new master student!
New article in The Chemical Record
Invited conference on innovations with nanomaterials
David gave a talk at the « Mardis de l’Innovations » co-organized by the CNRS, where he has been part of a panel discussing the possible future of nanomaterials and how to proceed in a safe way on this research and innovation field. Video available there (in French):

New article in Materials Horizons
A new work with the Universitad Complutense of Madrid is published in Materials Horizons. By using advanced Transmission electron Microscopy, we have shown that molten salts provide ideal conditions to reach for the first time complex oxides at the nano- and meso-scales. Special thanks to Irma and Almudena. DOI: 10.1039/C7MH00952F
