M2I

Metallurgy and Inorganic Materials

The “Metallurgy and Inorganic Materials” (M2I) department conducts research on the design, modeling, and development of new materials in the fields of energy, transport, and environment. Thanks to recognized expertise in solid-state chemistry, metallurgy and materials science, this research achieves an in-depth understanding of the relationships between structures, microstructures and physical / mechanical / electrochemical properties of materials under investigation. The targeted applications relate to aeronautics, batteries, hydrogen storage, thermoelectric or magneto-caloric energy conversion, or even photo/electro-catalytic pollution control, in a context of carbon footprint reduction. and respect for natural resources. It is obvious that these objectives are very much in line with those of the DIM MaTerRE. Thus, research on a CO₂-saving aluminum recycling process, in collaboration with the IRCP, was funded by the DIM in 2022. The M2I department also conducts very sustained activity in the field of electrochemical energy storage: (i) rechargeable aqueous zinc batteries; (ii) nickel-metal-hydride batteries. Likewise, the storage of hydrogen in the form of hydrides of massive metal materials or hybrid and composite nanomaterials constitutes an internationally recognized thematic axis. Finally, thermoelectric conversion using new architectural materials and the photo-electrochemical conversion of CO₂ into a high-energy gas are two booming research activities. All these themes benefit from the support of semi-empirical, first principles (DFT) or “machine learning” calculations. They also make use of advanced structural or microstructural characterizations, including synchrotron X-ray absorption/diffraction and neutron diffraction, complemented by in-situ spectroscopy techniques.
