Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs) represent a family of over 4,000 compounds synthesized since the 1950s, used in various industrial sectors for their exceptional properties (non-stick, waterproof, and heat-resistant).
All solid states Li batteries offer the promise of surpassing the energy density limits of current generations, thanks to the combined use of a solid electrolyte (SE) and a lithium metal anode. The key to this system lies in the choice of electrolyte and its integration into the cell.
The emergence of electric vehicles in the automotive market is increasingly pushing manufacturers to design more efficient and low-cost electric drive chains. These objectives allow to increase autonomy and to be competitive in the automotive market.
Producing decarbonized Jet fuel has received increasing interest lately. Using ethanol produced by biomass fermentation or from plastic wastes transformation as a platform molecule to produce ethylene is the first step to produce sustainable aviation fuels. Ethanol dehydration processes need catalysts with hydrothermal and coking resistance.
Analytical wind farm flow models are used for the optimisation and design of wind farms due to their low computational cost.
Thousands of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been synthesized since the mid-20th century. These compounds, selected for their exceptional properties, find many applications in our daily lives, including waterproofing textiles, packaging, and non-stick coatings for kitchen utensils.
Lithium (Li) is a lightweight alkali metal with a high electrochemical potential, making it a critical element in the energy transition. However, its demand is projected to increase 42-fold by 2040, positioning Li as a resource under significant criticality.
Reports and studies warning of potential future tensions in raw material markets essential for the low-carbon and digital transition have multiplied in recent years.
In the pursuit of energy transition, optimizing catalytic processes is essential for the efficient and sustainable conversion of raw materials into biofuels. At the heart of this optimization lies a deep understanding of atomic-level reaction mechanisms.
IFP Energies Nouvelles is seeking a motivated PhD candidate to participate in a cutting-edge research project focused on the development of a new hybrid combustion model for gas turbines.
In the face of current environmental challenges, the shift towards more sustainable mobility is a key focus. European governments have outlined a roadmap to promote the adoption of public transportation, integrate new energy sources and reduce the reliance on single-occupancy car use, also known as “car-solo”.
