through the creation of an energy transition center of excellence. UMR contributes to decarbonization by identifying practical solutions to urgent energy and environmental challenges. It spurs energy transition research and is at the forefront of academic life at UQTR. INRS-UQTR UMR works in tandem with numerous industrial players, research centers, universities, and college technology transfer centers (CCTTs). Our research involves academic institutions in Quebec, across Canada, and internationally, as well as local public and private practitioners. <\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"content-banner-full-width-ctn\">\n        <div class=\"container -big\">\n            <div class=\"banner-full-width-content-ctn\">\n                                    <div class=\"banner-full-width-image-ctn\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/inrs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/chercheurs_963861725.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n                    <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"banner-full-width-text-ctn content\">\n                        <h2>Research<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW104939780 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-CA\" xml:lang=\"EN-CA\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW104939780 BCX0\">UMR trains<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW104939780 BCX0\"> undergraduate and<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW104939780 BCX0\"> graduate students and postdoctoral <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW104939780 BCX0\">and<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW104939780 BCX0\">undergraduate interns from INRS and UQO.

Artificial photosynthesis (AP) is defined here in the broad sense of converting solar energy into chemical energy stored in chemical bonds (e.g., production of hydrogen\u2014as a green fuel\u2014from water; production of value-added chemicals from carbon dioxide (CO2) and\/or nitrogen (N2) and\/or water) using light, light-absorbing compounds (photosensitizers), and catalysts.

A promising technology is all-solid-state batteries, which incorporates a safer solid electrolyte and a lithium (Li)-based metal electrode that offers 10 times the energy density of graphite. However, the technology faces fundamental challenges that limit its use. These include the cost and availability of pure Li, slow charging speeds, and degradation of the Li metal anode. This program includes the production and processing of Li metal through to its use in batteries. \r\n\r\nFunding: NSERC <\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>   \n                                    <div class=\"swiper-slide slide-text\">\n                            <div class=\"bloc-ctn\">\n                                <p class=\"bloc-title\">Title: Optimization of compound synthesis for energy-related applications using microwave activation<\/p>\n                                <p class=\"bloc-content\">Short summary: From the perspective of a sustainable energy future, innovation in the development of compounds for optoelectronic and energy conversion applications is paramount. Compounds for applications related to the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy will be synthesized by microwave activation and characterized by various techniques (NMR, IR, UV-vis spectroscopy, and luminescence spectroscopy; mass spectrometry). The syntheses will be optimized. The synthesized compounds will then be used in research projects related to solar energy conversion. \r\n\r\nFunding: NSERC, Mitacs Globalink, UQTR <\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n
