Common Laboratory
NAWALAB
CY Cergy Paris University, NAWATechnologies, the Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission of Saclay and the François Rabelais University of Tours create NAWALab, a joint innovation laboratory for ultra-fast electricity storage devices. Through this common innovation laboratory for electricity storage, the partners wish to perpetuate their research and development efforts, initiated since 2008 as part of collaborative projects, for the development of new electricity storage materials and devices ultra-fast.ew microporous gas diffusion layers for fuel cells.
Common laboratory on functionnal innovative textiles – LACTIF
With the LACTIF joint laboratory project, the CEA through its joint research unit, NIMBE, an expert in the field of materials, and Europrotect, a company specializing in the technical textiles market, will pool their expertise to respond to these questions. priority requests.
This LabCom has two work axes. The first aims to implement a new technology in the textile sector, compatible with REACH regulations, and to give textiles the property of hydro-oleophobicity to replace perfluorinated polymers. The chosen strategy is the “sol-gel” route. The second line of work concerns the coating of textiles with graphenic objects in order to ensure either a moderate level of thermal conductivity for thermal comfort, or a very high thermal and electrical conductivity for stealth (military). Two processes will be evaluated, one using the liquid route, the other using the gas route.
MATURATION
OXYFILMS
Oxyfilms consists of the controlled electrodeposition of nanostructured films of a common metal oxide, equivalent to a natural mineral, on various substrates. These films spontaneously degrade organic pollutants into small molecules, or even completely (mineralisation), at low energy cost.
Initially, Oxyfilms technology will be used to treat industrial effluents, with the advantage of reducing the operational costs of treating organic pollutants. The technology could potentially reduce the use of activated carbon or simplify treatment processes.
In a second phase, the technology could be extended to markets that are more difficult to access from a regulatory point of view, such as drinking water.
