Titre : Tuning the properties of 2D perovskites for photovoltaic applications

Jacky Even is full Professor at INSA Rennes engineering school and institute FOTON since 1999. He received a PhD in Physics from University Paris VI in 1992. He was associate professor at the Physics Department of Rennes University from 1992 to 1999, combining various experimental and theoretical approaches for phase transitions and chemical reactions in molecular solids. In 1999, he created FOTON laboratory’s simulation team focusing initially on III-V semiconductor nanostructures for optical telecommunications, and later on silicon photonics and photovoltaics. Starting in 2010, a joint simulation team was progressively built up between FOTON and ISCR CNRS labs in Rennes on the topic of emerging halide perovskite semiconductors. The group has strong collaborations for perovskite photovoltaics with the experimental groups of Aditya Mohite in Los Alamos National Lab., now Rice University, and Mercouri Kanatzidis in Northwestern University.

Titre : Bioinspired Catalysis and Hydrogen Technologies when Nanosciences and Electrocatalysis flow together

Vincent Artero (born 1973) is a graduate of the Ecole Normale Supérieure. He received a Ph.D. degree from UPMC (Univ. Paris 6) in 2000, working on polyoxometallates under the supervision of Prof. A. Proust. After a postdoctoral stay at RWTH Aachen with Prof. U. Kölle, he got a CEA scientist position in 2001 working with Prof. M. Fontecave in Grenoble. He’s now Research Director at CEA and leads the Laboratoire de Chimie et Biologie des Métaux co-operated by Univ Grenoble Alpes, CNRS and CEA, where his group SOLHYCAT investigates bioinspired chemistry and artificial photosynthesis.

Titre : Nanochemistry on low-dimensional materials for electrocatalytic CO2 conversion and water depollution

Damien Voiry received B. Eng degree in Materials Science from the Graduate School of Chemistry and Physics of Bordeaux, France in 2007. He obtained his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from the Center Paul Pascal, University of Bordeaux in 2010 under the supervision of Dr. Alain Pénicaud. His PhD focused on the dissolution and covalent functionalization of carbon nanotubes. In 2011, he joined the group of Professor Chhowalla as postdoctoral associate to work on exfoliated 2D materials. Since February 2016, he is a CNRS researcher at the European Institute of Membranes (IEM, UMR5635) in Montpellier and was awarded an ERC-Starting grant and an ERC-Proof of Concept grant in 2018 and 2022. Damien Voiry has deposited 8 patents and published more than 65 research articles for a total number of citations greater than 18,500. He was received the CNRS Bronze Medal in 2020, the Young Researcher Award from the French Chemical Society (SCF) in 2022 and was nominated to the Young Academy of Europe in 2020. His research deals with the engineering of low dimensional materials for novel membranes and energy conversion.

Titre : Strength and Weakness of Temperature Measurment Using Luminescent Nanoparticles

Corinne Chanéac is Professor at Sorbonne Université since 2009 in the Chemistry Department. She’s working in Laboratoire Chimie de la Matière Condensée de Paris (LCMCP, UMR 7574 CNRS-Sorbonne Univ., Paris) that is French pioneer lab in the field of sol-gel processes. She works on the design of nanoparticles with tunable properties through bottom-up approach by mean of soft and green chemistry. Her research activity is focused on the synthesis of original oxide nanomaterials (metallic, doped and hybrid organic-inorganic), with broader chemical composition, crystalline structure, size and shape. She develops innovative nanoparticles synthesis based on microwave assisted nucleation and growth process. She studies the influence of the chemical conditions of precipitation on the first stages of nucleation and growth of nanoparticles and the impact of surface energies on the thermodynamic stabilization of metal oxide morphologies. She has gained a strong expertise in the field of luminescent nanoparticles for long lasting imaging and nanothermometry.
She is in charge of the coordination of the Nano group in LCMCP and is at the head of the National Center of Competences in Nano Sciences (UAR CNRS 2205). She has published 140 peer-reviewed articles, 7 book chapters and produced 8 international patents.
