Value proposition
Dedicated to developing synthesis, characterization and applications of zeolites and nanoporous materials
Supported by la Région Normandie, The Centre for Zeolites and Nanoporous Materials aims to develop new nanomaterials to address the global challenges of today and tomorrow across a range of selective adsorption processes and biomedical applications.
The Centre for Zeolites and Nanoporous Materials is located within the Laboratory Catalysis and Spectrochemistry (LCS) associated with CNRS Normandy, National Graduate School of Engineering & Research Centre (ENSICAEN) and Normandy University, campus Caen.
The CLEAR is dedicated to development:
1. New synthesis approaches of zeolites, zeolites-like and porous materials;
2. Advanced characterizations (NMR, FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, ICP, DLS, TG, DFT etc.);
3. Applications in catalysis, separation, chemical sensors, membranes and biomedicine.
Efforts will focus on the direct synthesis of zeolites and nanoporous materials starting from the controlled formation of building units in colloidal suspensions rather than the post-synthesis treatment of micron-sized zeolites. The fast diffusion, improved kinetics, cycling and regeneration of the novel zeolites and nanoporous materials will contribute to the ongoing energy transition and greening of processes directly linked with greater energy efficiency.
The realization of this project will have an impact in materials science, on the economy, the development of gas and renewable energies, the environment, biochemistry, and the social sphere. The project will help the EU to better face the challenges associated with climate change and will provide innovative materials solutions to reduce CO2 emissions.
