In the frame of methodological developments in Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance in the LCS, a system providing hyper-polarized 129-Xenon has been built. Using this system, we want to investigate the influence of the porosity hierarchization on the deactivation and regeneration of zeolite catalysts. This study will be performed partly in the frame of a

Spectroscopic characterization in extreme in situ and operando conditions in the field of catalysis for energy and chemistry We are looking for a student to apply for a grant of the French Ministry of Research (deadline for application, May-June 2014).The subject of the PhD thesis will concern the in-situ characterization of catalysts activated and/or used

The main objective of this project is the characterization of the grafting reaction of silane on different silica samples and the study of the interaction between silica-silane composites and the rubber matrix (squalene).

SUBJECT   A new class of porous materials has been recently developed. It consists of hybrid inorganic-organic solids called MOFs (Metal Organic Frameworks). MOFs are porous solids built up from inorganic subnetworks (clusters, chains, or layers) and organic complexing molecules (phosphonates, carboxylates, sulfonates). These subnetworks often contain divalent (Zn2+,Cu2+, …) or trivalent cations (Cr3+, Al3+,

Philippe Bazin, ingénieur de recherche de l’Université de Caen au laboratoire LCS (Laboratoire Catalyse et Spectrochimie), a construit l’outil de spectroscopie qui fait la renommée du laboratoire LCS. Philippe a dressé les plans et a été le maître d’oeuvre de l’implantation du service infrarouge au bâtiment du CNRT, il a mis au point de nombreuses

The present research is in the context of the development of biofuels second generation. It will aim at establishing the fundamental parameters governing the reactivity in cracking, hydrocracking and hydrodeoxygenation of model compounds of pyrolysis oils from lignocellulosic biomass (oxygenated or not) on hydrocracking catalysts for the production of biofuels second generation.
