Heterogeneous Catalysis (UCCS)

Research team - UMR 8181

Description

The Heterogeneous Catalysis Department combines and synergizes skills in syntheses, advanced characterizations, molecular modelling and processes to serve the major problems of societies such as sustainable development, energy and the environment. The axis is structured in 5 teams. Three thematic teams cover areas of activity mainly related to the synthesis of chemical molecules (biomass recovery, Fisher-Tropsh synthesis, use of CO2), preservation of air quality (oxidation of VOCs, DeNOx), the production of clean or synthetic fuels and two cross-cutting groups focus their research on catalytic material synthesis and molecular modelling, applied to reactivity and spectroscopic development. The axis makes advanced characterizations a highlight of its activities and hosts the platform of surface characterizations (XPS, LEIS, Tof-SIMS), it is also partner of the ROCK Equipex (XAS in-situ resolved in time) a light line of the synchrotron SOLEIL. Beyond the catalytic synthesis-characterization-performance triptych, work in the axis seeks to cover the entire catalytic process from the description of the active site to the implementation of catalytic systems in the most appropriate reactors and processes.
