Preparation of (multi)porous materials
By carefully tailoring the physico-chemical properties of porous materials, including zeolites, metal-organic frameworks, and mesoporous silica, we aim to improve their efficiency toward environmental and biomass valorization applications.

Water catalytic remediation
Water is one of our most precious ressources. Within the group, we are developing catalytic formulations to capture and degrade organic contaminants present in water under unconventional activation methods to enable its reuse.

Shaping of catalysts and adsorbents
By building on the presence of the UPCAT platform, we are investigating the shaping of sensitive materials such as MOFs using conventional (compression, extrusion, granulation) and unconventional (additive fabrication, gelation) approaches for enabling larger scale adsorption and catalytic applications.
