Increasing the porosity of zeolites Zeolites are important industrial catalysts; their unique shape-selectivity is the basis of important applications, but also a pitfall limiting their efficiency. Overcoming or decreasing the diffusion limitations in zeolites is important to improve their catalytic and separation performance. The present Ph.D. thesis reports work on the preparation of zeolites with […]

Every year since 2017, the French Zeolite Association (GFZ) has awarded the “Denise Barthomeuf” thesis prize, which aims to reward, on the basis of scientific quality, the work of a young doctor whose main theme is related to porous materials such as zeolites or related materials. This thesis prize of 400 euros, sponsored by the

Job offer published on CNRS websiteMissions:  The main objective of the project is to develop nanozeolites and to be used as an oxygen carrier toward treatment of hypoxic tumors. The emphasis will be on the synthesis of nanozeolites using buffers and various solvents toward preparation of biocompatible nanozeolites, followed by comprehensive characterizations.   Activities:  The

Characterization of diffusion in hierarchical zeolites by infrared spectroscopy Characterization of diffusion in hierarchical zeolites by infrared spectroscopy Abstract: This work aimed at developing and benchmarking a new method of investigation of molecular diffusion in zeolite-based materials. It consists in the hyphenation of gravimetric analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The former allows assessing the diffusion from
