ULille

The research carried out by ULille is organised around three main themes: energy, the environment and sustainable development. It is structured around three scientific areas: catalysis and molecular chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis and solid state chemistry. These areas are developed simultaneously with high-level fundamental research and innovations that can be transferred to the industrial sector.

As part of this project, ULille will be drawing on its expertise in the synthesis, characterisation and catalytic evaluation of low-cost materials based on transition metal oxides, designed for the total oxidation of volatile organic compounds (formaldehyde, toluene, etc.) and the decomposition of ozone. ULille will also be responsible for developing the synthesis of materials that can be adapted on a large scale and for shaping catalysts through its ‘Up-scaling of catalytic materials’ division. Finally, ULille will contribute its expertise in the elemental analysis of material surfaces, combining three spectroscopic methods to examine the material chemically at different depths (XPS, LEIS, ToF-SIMS).
