From November 1, 2020, François Legalland is appointed CEO of CEA-Liten. He is the successor of Florence Lambert who is joining a company close to CEA to contribute to the development of the hydrogen industry.
CEA-Liten, a CEA Tech institute, partnered with IBS on research for the ISICELL project to develop a technology for doping photovoltaic cells that is ready to scale up for manufacturing. The technology, which leverages an innovative method, simplifies PV cell manufacturing processes and improves performance.
The collaboration between COLAS Group and CEA Tech at INES has reached new milestones this year with the launch of the Wattway Pack and the development of the Flowell dynamic light marking system.
The CEA at INES has completely renewed and reorganized its technological platform dedicated to the assembly of photovoltaic modules/panels over the last three years, thanks to the financial support of the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes Region.
The CEA-Liten teams are pleased to announce the release of the 2019 Scientific Report. Discover our selection of key scientific results for a better energy world.
The European SunHorizon program, which brings together 20 partners including CEA Liten, aims to integrate different kinds of innovative heat pumps into buildings, all using solar energy, thermal and photovoltaic. 8 experiments were thus carried out in Europe.
CEA-Liten, a CEA Tech institute, helped develop a novel carbon-free, platinum-nanotube electrode to reduce the amount of platinum in PEMFCs (proton exchange membrane fuel cells) and augment the fuel cells’ performance.
CEA at INES keep improving Passivated contact solar cells with the platform developed by SEMCO Smartech for boron diffusion and LPCVD deposition of polysilicon on oxide.
CEA at INES and Enel Green Power have reached this summer a heterojunction solar cell record efficiency of 25.0% active area (213 cm²) on M2 wafer on CEA’s industrial pilot line.
CEA has been working for several years on the development of silicon heterojunction cells. A characterization method based on the analysis of point defects on silicon wafers generated during all wafer handling has been developped, based on electroluminescence and/or photoluminescence image analysis.
In research conducted for the EU m2M-grid project, CEA-Liten, a CEA Tech institute, developed advanced microgrid coordination tools that were successfully tested on a real grid operated by electric utility SOREA.
Towards a new space solar generator architecture for a European high power solution. Space missions require always more solar electric power, typically more than 25kW, to power the electric propulsion of satellites and other functions such as broadband telecommunications. The available volume in satellite launch rockets is limited and does not allow the number and size of conventional rigid solar panels on board to be increased.
Since the entry of the private companies on the space market, satellites and their manufacturing processes have been subject to major changes. The space applications provide a vast field of opportunities for the development of IoT, communications, terrestrial, air and maritime navigation and positioning systems, as well as remote medicine.
While Europe and certain Asian countries are announcing ambitious hydrogen plans, Symbio – a hydrogen fuel cell systems supplier and subsidiary of Michelin and Faurecia – and CEA, committed to the research and development of hydrogen technologies, are strengthening their historic relationship by signing a framework collaboration agreement. Aim: to accelerate the industrialisation of competitive hydrogen fuel cell systems on a world scale for the energy transition of transport.
In research conducted for the EU INTEGRAL project, Liten, a CEA Tech institute, helped scale up second-generation thermoelectric materials and validation-test their use on functional thermoelectric generator demonstrators.
Liten, a CEA-Tech institute, is testing a diphasic-fluid-based cooling system for high-power lithium-ion batteries in research for the Carnot Network’s REDBAT project.
Ventilairsec partnered with Liten, a CEA Tech institute, on a residential HVAC solution that takes care of air quality and heating.
When it comes to functionally integrating photovoltaic modules into buildings, it is vital to address architectural concerns. Liten, a CEA Tech institute recently evaluated techniques to improve the appearance of building-integrated photovoltaic solutions.
Nitrogen oxides, produced mainly when diesel fuel is burned, are harmful pollutants. Liten, a CEA Tech institute, recently modified automotive cabin air filters to effectively filter out nitrogen oxides at ambient temperature, improving air quality for drivers and passengers.
The digital publication Open Access Government published an article about the EU project SUPREME. Thierry Baffie, research engineer at the CEA-Liten and coordinator of the EU project SUPREME, highlights achievements in sustainable powder metallurgy
Microelectronics manufacturers can now access exceptional nanoparticle detection and characterization resources to test their gas and liquid effluents.
The European large-scale research initiative BATTERY 2030+ presents the long-term research roadmap that outlines the actions needed to invent the sustainable batteries of the future.
