The team is structured around 3 research axes.

• Nanomorphological control of materials with modular redox and/or acid-base propertiesThe main types of materials studied are solid or supported metals, simple or mixed metal oxides, nanostructured solids (2D and 3D) and zeolites, and more recently also inorganic oxyhydroxyfluorides of large specific surface area and with modular acid-base properties.
• Development of specific ex-situ, in situ and operando analysis toolsResearch on specific characterization tools is carried out to enable an accurate description of the entire catalytic process (reaction mechanisms, description of active sites on the catalyst surface).

• Study of materials with optimized properties for energy conversion and storage systems.
• Use of catalysis, electrocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis in various systems (catalytic reforming, ammonia synthesis, catalytic dehydrogenation, fuel cells, ion exchange membrane electrolysers, organic and mineral electrosynthesis, etc.).
• Hydrogen vector (production, use, storage).
• Conversion of biomass and natural gas into energy carriers or products of interest.
• (Electro)activation of greenhouse gases.
• Development of innovative, efficient and environmentally friendly space propulsion systems.

• Study of materials with optimized properties (active sites, porosity) for depollution.
• Treatment of mineral or organic pollutants, in the gaseous (atmospheric) or liquid phase, by catalytic reaction and/or adsorption.
• (Electro) Activation of greenhouse gases.
• Treatment and recovery of waste.
