Programme et Équipements Prioritaires de Recherche (PEPR) LUMA

IRCELYON and its characterisation platform IRCATECH are part of the project OPERANDO/PROTOTYPAGE of the LUMA exploratory PEPR launched in 2023. Our platform provides high-performance operando or, failing that, in-situ analysis tools. The project addresses three aspects of radiation-matter interaction by measuring the electronic, structural and dynamic properties of catalytic systems under illumination. Low-energy photoelectron and terahertz absorption spectroscopies provide access to the valence electronic states of surfaces and the dynamics of photogenerated charge carriers. In addition, a fibre-optic object holder inserted into the environmental TEM microscope will enable the structural evolution of photocatalysts to be studied at the atomic scale.
