Innovative Materials for Optics, Photovoltaics and Storage (MIOPS)<\/span><\/h2><\/div>

The MIOPS<\/strong> team (Innovative Materials for Optics, Photovoltaics and Storage)<\/strong> designs, synthesizes and studies functional materials and innovative devices to meet major societal challenges. The compounds studied are oxides, chalcogenides and organic-inorganic hybrid materials. The properties concerned are optical, electrical, magnetic or thermal, or they can be coupled (optoelectronic, thermoelectric, magnetoelectric, etc.). <\/p>\n

We develop a wide range of compounds with optical properties for applications in various fields, such as intelligent pigments, UV absorbers, transparent conductors, IR reflectors and luminescent detectors. In the field of energy conversion, we design photovoltaic and photoelectro-catalytic devices based on oxides and chalcogenides. <\/p>\n

Our core business is the exploratory synthesis of controlled microstructure materials (nano or micrometric powders, crystals, thin films) and their advanced characterization (laboratory and synchrotron X-ray diffraction, PDF analysis, PEDT, neutron diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, optical spectroscopy, time-resolved photoluminescence, Raman, magnetism), with the aim of understanding and predicting structure-electronic property relationships. Artificial intelligence is integrated to accelerate the exploration of new materials. These studies are enriched\/rationalized by ab initio<\/em> modeling, defect and electronic structure studies.<\/p>\n<\/div>
