Scientific projects

LEPMI coordinates and is involved in numerous collaborative projects, whether national, international or with its industrial partners.

Self-assembled/healable Hybrid inorganic/Organic Polymer Electrolytes for sustainable energy Storage (HOPES)

  • Coordinated by LEPMI, PI Patrice Rannou
  • Partners: SyMMES, Specific Polymers
  • Project Type: Projet H2020-MSCA (ID#: 101026846)
  • HOPES aims at developing new generations of all-solid batteries based on hierarchically self-organized hybrid (inorganic/organic) electrolytes; endowed self-healing of defects for allowing the advent of an efficient and sustainable electrochemical energy storage.

Solid-state lithium metal battery with hybrid Electrolyte (SEATBELT)

  • Coordinated by LEPMI, PI  Didier Devaux
  • Partners: MEET: Münster Electrochemical Energy Technology. ZSW: Zentrum für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoff-Forschung, Baden-Württemberg. ICL: Imperial College London. CRM Group. CIC Energigune. Polykey. POLYMAT. LCE (Life Cycle Engineering). CEA Grenoble. ILL: Institut Laue-Langevin. Laboratoire 3SR. Blue Solutions
  • Project Type: Europeen Project SEATBELT
  • SEATBELT aims at developing a new Li metal battery chemistry with a solid electrolyte.

Molecular-level separations of binary CH4/H2S, ternary CH4/CO2/H2S, and quaternary CH4/N2/CO2/H2S gas mixtures using polyimide membranes (MODMOL-25)

  • Coordinated by LEPMI, PI  Sylvie Neyertz
  • Partners: GENCI: Grand Equipement National de Calcul Intensif
  • Project Type: National Supercomputers
  • MODMOL-25 aims at estimating the true permselectivity of gas mixtures ("mixed-gas" conditions) rather than the ideal permselectivity obtained from pure gas measurements ("single-gas" conditions). Application to mixtures containing hazardous gases, which are difficult to study in the laboratory.

Optimal mechanical property definition of the core interfaces for the durability of PEM-type fuel cells. (DURACELL)

Logo de l'ANR
  • Coordinateur :  LEPMI, Porteur  Christophe Carral
  • Partenaires : SYMME, LEMTA
  • Type de Projet : ANR - AAP générique 2023
  • This project aims at improving the durability of PEM-type fuel cells by optimizing the mechanical properties of the core interfaces.
