"Nanoscale Materials for Energy: Fundamentals, Applications and Safety" (PHD4ENERGY)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2018,

"One of Humanity’s most urgent and greatest scientific and technological challenges is the need for more efficient methods to access renewable energy sources and ways to reduce energy consumption. Nanotechnology opens up fundamentally novel routes to address these challenges. With focus on the unique opportunities offered by III-V nanowires and molecular engineering, PhD4Energy will develop (i) hi ...

Development and application of ultra-high resolution nano-organized films by self-assembly of plant-based materials for next generation opto- and bio-electronics (GREENANOFILMS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

Carbohydrate biomass constitutes an abundant and renewable resource that is attracting growing interest as a biomaterial. Convincingly the use of different natural “elementary bricks”, from oligosaccharides to fibers found in biomass, when mimicking self-assembly as Nature does, is a promising field towards innovative nanostructured biomaterials, leading to eco-friendly manufacturing processes of ...

Better Upscaling and Optimization of Nanoparticle and Nanostructure Production by Means of Electrical Discharges (BUONAPART-E)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

The BUONAPART-E project aims to demonstrate that a physical nanoparticle synthesis process can be economically scaled-up to yield 100 kg/day production rate, which is the target rate mentioned in the Call Topic. The process is simple, versatile, and reliable. It avoids chemical precursors and solvents, while fully recycling the necessary inert carrier gas, resulting in a minimal impact on the envi ...

Information, Fluctuations, and Energy Control in Small Systems (INFERNOS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Strong statistical fluctuations in meso- and nano-scale structures make their thermodynamic properties extremely dependent on the information available about them. The most basic process illustrating the importance of information to statistical systems is the information-to-energy conversion in the famous Maxwell's Demon (MD). Our primary goal is to study both experimentally and theoretically the ...

Nanowires for solid state lighting (NWs4LIGHT)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2015,

The suggested project aims at developing a nanowire (NW) technology applied to III-nitride and III-V materials to improve the present Solid State Lighting (SSL) solutions. Present white light emitting diode (LED) emitters are based on thin film III-nitride technology, and a combination of violet-blue LEDs and suitable phosphor coatings has yielded a light emission efficacy of > 100 lm/W with an op ...

Guardian Angels for a Smarter Life (Guardian Angels)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

Guardian Angels (GA) are future zero-power, intelligent, autonomous systems-of-systems featuring sensing, computation, and communication beyond human aptitudes. GA will assist humans from their infancy to old age in complex life situations and environments. Zero-power reflects system-of-systems ability to scavenge energy in dynamic environments by disruptive harvesting techniques. The project prep ...
