The LIONS Research Group at CEA Saclay

The LIONS laboratory’s research focuses on studying the physical and chemical mechanisms involved in developing nanostructured materials. The aim is to understand and thus better exploit the unique properties resulting from nanostructuring, while ensuring low environmental impact and safety of use (Safe by Design) through appropriate synthesis methods. Beyond experimental studies, statistical physics and modeling are used to streamline the design of nanostructured materials, the methods used to obtain them, and to optimize their properties.
