General information
Organisation
The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is a key player in research, development and innovation in four main areas :
• defence and security,
• nuclear energy (fission and fusion),
• technological research for industry,
• fundamental research in the physical sciences and life sciences.
Drawing on its widely acknowledged expertise, and thanks to its 16000 technicians, engineers, researchers and staff, the CEA actively participates in collaborative projects with a large number of academic and industrial partners.
The CEA is established in ten centers spread throughout France

Job description
The advent of robotic syntheses assisted by artificial intelligence opens up countless perspectives for the discovery of new nanomaterials, while raising the question of correctly validating these approaches. The goal of this thesis is to discover new nanostructured oxides to make CO2 capture and sequestration energetically efficient. This will require to 1) confirm or disprove that the automated preparation method (mixing robot coupled with a characterization platform by X-ray diffusion and gas analysis) is an approach representative of standard preparation methods, or if the automation is a new preparative approach independent of standard methods, and 2) confirm or disprove that the exploration of the vast space of parameters (nature of oxides, nanostructuring agents, injection laws) makes it possible to exceed the performances of the best current materials.
