ON GOING PROJECTS

Labex NanoSaclay Project:BOGART (Bottom-up Synthesis and Properties of Graphene Related Materials)
The project BOGART aims to develop new routes of synthesis of graphene related materials: Graphene quantum dots (GQDs), Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) and Graphene Nanomeshes (GNMs), and to exploit their optical and electronic properties.

ANR Project:GANESH (Graphene Nanomesh)
The aim of the project GANESH is to design and fabricate via the bottom-up approach 2-dimensional graphene sheets containing a well-defined network of holes (graphene nanomeshes) and to evaluate their optical and electronic properties through a combination of advanced experimental and theoretical studies.

ANR Project: OERKOP (Oxygen evolution reaction: the key to optimize photocatalytic water oxidation)
OERKOP aims to understand and describe the mechanisms underlying the Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER), beyond the current state of the art, by using operando characterization approach applied to eco-friendly photoactive materials used as photoanodes. To reach our goal, we propose to implement a new correlative approach combining multi-scale and multi-selective techniques and complementary DFT calculations
