SOLEIL@UPMC symposium

Invited talk at the SOLEIL@UPMC 2017 symposium, to present recent results from our collaboration with SOLEIL synchrotron’s staff. Thanks to all of them.

Two new members

The group is growing! Welcome to Alexandre (postdoc funded by the French National Agency for Research) and Océane (engineer for SATT Lutech private technology transfer company)

Conference on boron solid state chemistry

Camille, Simon and David have attended the 19th International Symposium on Boron, Borides and Related Materials at Freiburg. Camille and Simon gave nice oral presentations while David gave a keynote showing our results in boron-based nanomaterials.

David has also been nominated member of the board for the next conferences. See you in Japan, 2019!

New article on nanoscaled metal borides in Inorganic Chemistry

A new study on the reactivity under various atmospheres of nanoscaled metal borides produced from molten salt synthesis is published in Inorganic Chemistry. We have gathered a multidisciplinary consortium, combining advanced nanomaterials synthesis, in situ electron microscopy and synchrotron-based in situ X-ray spectroscopies, to unravel the strong structural reorganization of these nanomaterials.

New publication in ACS Nano

A new paper on hybrid inorganic-organic gold nanoparticles bearing phase-separated organic shells has been accepted for publication in ACS Nano. We have combined advanced computations, synthesis and electron microscopy, to unveil intermolecular H-bonding as the driving force for phase separation, thus paving the way to controlled dissymetric nano-objects. Many thanks to Marialore  Sulpizi (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz), Frederic Tielens (UPMC) and Ovidiu Ersen (IPCMS Strasbourg) for this stimulating collaboration. DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.7b03616
