Accessing Gas Adsorption Micro- and Macroscopically by in situ Powder Diffraction Gas adsorption is a spontaneous interaction that occurs on the interface between the gas and a condensed phase. In this project, we propose a new methodology based on in situ diffraction to obtain simultaneously micro- and macroscopic pictures of gas adsorption.

Encapsulation of Commensal Skin Bacteria in Soft Patches Based on Layer-by-Layer Assembly by Wanlin XU The commensal skin bacterium Staphylococcus epidermidis provides a range of benefits to human hosts, contributing to skin equilibrium and good health. However, it can also act as a pathogen when entering the host body.

"Interactive seminar on practical dilemme in the life of a scientistist trying to do the right thing" ABSTRACT The workshop will be in two sections. In the first half, we will discuss various dilemma that scientists, and in particular young scientists, encounter in their professional experience.

  Inorganic Cathode Materials for Rechargeable Batteries from Lithium to Sodium Storage Lithium-ion battery (LIB) as a powerful energy storage system is used to power many things from mobile phones to electric vehicles. The harvested green but intermittent solar and wind energy can also be stored in LIBs.

High voltage organic positive electrode materials for alkali-ion batteries The quest for green and sustainable energy storage systems has brought about the need for a material system that can satisfy the following requirements: low cost of production, environmental benignity, flexibility, redox stability, renewability and structural diversity.

Les alliages à haute entropie : petit voyage au centre… Stéphane Gorsse ICMCB, CNRS, Univ. Bordeaux, Bordeaux INP La découverte de nouveaux alliages métalliques à haute performance est d'une importance cruciale pour permettre le développement technologique.

Dynamic Polymer Hydrogels Based on the Orthogonal Combination of Reversible C=N bonds and Metal-Ligand Coordination Bonds Polymer hydrogels crosslinked by dynamic bonds are of increasing interest in fundamental and applied soft material studies.

New insights towards better Li and Na ion/metal batteries - diffusion, plating and electrolytes The direction, in which we go as a society, depends heavily on energy storage. As we approach the theoretically possible capacities, for example of graphite-based electrodes, we reach a bottleneck for the further improvement of batteries and the development of dependent fields.

Tuning the excited state deactivation pathways of multinuclear ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes : from synthesis to photochemistry The light is the most important source of energy as it is at the basis of photosynthesis which is the origin of life on earth.
