Supply Description
The CEISAM lab federates analysis actions within the area of molecular chemistry in Nantes. Inside the unit, the IMF crew (Practical Supplies Engineering) has all of the tools required for designing and characterizing molecules, in addition to integrating them into photo voltaic units. Nantes is a dynamic metropolis with a cultural and gastronomic focus, and is a forerunner when it comes to ecological transition, providing a high quality of life that’s distinctive in France.
In view of the inevitable local weather change, the manufacturing of vitality from sustainable and renewable assets is a serious problem of the approaching many years. A major quantity of vitality is acquired by the planet through photo voltaic radiation, which constitutes an nearly infinite pure useful resource. This radiation may be transformed into electrical energy utilizing photovoltaic units. At the moment, the vast majority of units primarily based on dye-sensitized photo voltaic cells (DSSCs) or natural photovoltaics primarily seize gentle within the seen vary, whereas a non-negligible proportion of radiation is discovered within the near-infrared (NIR). This program is a part of the breakthrough area of colorless, clear photovoltaic cells. Environment friendly photovoltaic know-how within the NIR would allow the event of colorless, clear photo voltaic panels that could possibly be built-in into the glazing of buildings, automobiles, greenhouses and autonomous moveable units [1]. For this software, DSSCs are among the many most promising units, as they’re easy to implement whereas providing aggressive electrical energy manufacturing over the long run [2]. On this context, the goal is to develop NIR-selective photosensitizers, which is exactly the topic of the current PhD provide.
The TRANSCEND mission, funded by the Pays de la Loire area, Nantes Metropole and the CNRS, capitalizes our group’s expertises and up to date leads to the fields of NIR dyes and colorless DSSCs [3]. Extra concretely, it goals to design natural dyes belonging to the polymethine household that take up intensely and particularly within the NIR area [4], for the event of clear photo voltaic cells. The analysis is interdisciplinary and notably difficult: the PhD candidate will develop the synthesis and purification of modern NIR natural dyes, unravel their photophysical and electrochemical properties, and combine them in a brand new era of clear photo voltaic cells developped at CEISAM.
The candidate ought to maintain a Grasp’s diploma or engineer diploma in Chemistry, and ideally have a powerful background in natural synthesis, in addition to in spectroscopic and electrochemical characterization strategies. Earlier experiences within the fields of chromophores or natural electronics could be extremely appreciated, however aren’t obligatory.
