Unit of catalysis and solid state chemistry

UCCS | UMR 8181
Chemistry and materials Research unit

Our research is oriented towards three main areas: energy, environment and sustainable development. We organize our research along three scientific axes: Catalysis and Molecular Chemistry, Heterogeneous Catalysis, and Solid State Chemistry. These three axes are subdivided into 14 teams which constitute the operational sites of research, oriented in particular towards the catalytic valorisation of biomass, fine chemistry, plant chemistry, pollution treatment, new fuels, nuclear fuels and wastes, fuel cells, eco-compatible materials... We possess a wide range of equipment regrouped within the internal and external technological platforms.  We are open to all academic and industrial collaborations and propose services in line with our expertise.
