NAnoMaterials for Energy applications
The CNRS ‘NAnoMaterials for Energy applications’ research group aims to expand existing networks with a view to developing and exploiting the specific features of nanomaterials for energy recovery, conversion, transport and storage.
Created in January 2020 and renewed in 2025, the ambition of the ‘NAME’ GDR is to federate a multidisciplinary scientific community (60 laboratories with 550 participants) from different sections (S) and several CNRS Institutes (S10, S8 and S9 from INSIS, S3, S4 and S5 from INP, S11, S13, S14, S15 and S16 from INC). This community brings together scientists from the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Materials Sciences and Engineering and Systems Sciences. It has the required skills and unique know-how at the state of the art at national and international level in the development, characterisation and simulation of nanomaterials/nanosystems for energy. Several of the members who initiated this proposal were already involved in GDRs and GDREs supported by the CNRS in previous years and are currently participating in research groups with which bridges can be built.
