ANAPURNA (Artificial iNtelligence Assisted Platform for Ultimate pRoduction of NAnocomposite coatings)
ANAPURNA is an Automated platform for complex nanocomposite coatings. Its development is in progress in the frame of the DIADEM project (PEPR). It is part of a dedicated gas-phase synthesis platform of the FastNano project.
Colinear laser pyrolysis
The objective of the collinear laser pyrolysis reactor is to significantly increase the residence time of the precursors in the laser interaction zone compared to conventional laser pyrolysis.
Nanoparticle analysis by Laser Induced Breakdown Spectrometry (LIBS)
The experimental devices under development at the LEDNA laboratory are designed to characterize nanoparticles in real time and in situ. Two main research topics underpin these developments. The first concerns atmospheric monitoring of these nano-objects (metal oxides, SiO2, etc.) for environmental and health safety purposes. The second involves controlling the production of nano-particles, such as those produced at LEDNA by laser pyrolysis (Si, FeCN, Li2TiO3, etc.) or at LEEL by flame spray pyrolysis (carbon-coated iron, carbides and nitrides).
Furnace in in-situ configuration
Two furnaces was developped at LEDNA for in-situ characterization. One is dedicated to the growth of graphene or 2D materials, and the other is dedicated to the CVD growth of nanotubes or other materials.
