Laboratoire de Réactivité et Chimie des Solides
The « Laboratoire de Réactivité et Chimie des Solides » (LRCS) was founded with the aim of inventing new methods for the synthesis of materials by using chimie douce 1 approaches, along with a strong expertise in electron microscopy.
Combining our expertise in synthesis chemistry, electrochemistry and characterization techniques allows to bring about new solutions to improve energy systems such as rechargeable batteries (lithium-ion batteries, lithium-air, sodium-ion, lithium sulfur, all-solid-state batteries…), hydrogen storage, dye-sensitized solar cells. In 2011, the laboratory was evaluated A+ by AERES, the national agency for evaluation of research and higher education laboratories.
