The POWER CO₂ Days! | September 7–9, 2026 | Lyon, France Day 3: Hybrid Pathways Photoelectrochemical (PEC) CO₂ reduction offers a promising route to convert solar energy into chemical fuels while enabling carbon-neutral energy storage. We are glad to welcome Negar Naghavi as a Keynote Speaker to discuss the role of advanced photovoltaic absorbers in this strategy! Among the materials currently being researched, Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ (CIGS) stands out for PEC applications thanks to its

The POWER CO₂ Days! | September 7–9, 2026 | Lyon, France Day 3: Hybrid Pathways Converting CO₂ into chemicals and fuels represents a significant challenge in sustainable energy research. We are thrilled to welcome Bertrand Reuillard as a Keynote Speaker to discuss molecular (bio)hydrid materials for CO₂ conversion! Over the past ten years, combining molecular centers and enzymes at the surface of electrode materials has proven to be a powerful approach to developing efficient

The POWER CO₂ Days! | September 7–9, 2026 | Lyon, France Day 2: Nano Engineering We are excited to announce the upcoming Oral Presentation by Emilien Chaigne on the design of benzodithiophene-based porous polymeric macroligands! To advance the efficiency of photocatalytic CO₂ reduction, Emilien and his Ph.D. supervising team lead by Jerome Canivet synthesized Porous Organic Polymers (POPs) incorporating benzodithiophene (BDT) units. These structures are investigated as photos

We are excited to announce an upcoming Oral Presentation by Antoine Dion detailing a highly innovative approach to C-C bonding and CH₄ activation.

The POWER CO₂ Days! | September 7–9, 2026 | Lyon, France Day 1: Next frontier C3+ We are thrilled to announce an upcoming presentation by Sébastien Bontemps on the challenge of building complex molecules directly from CO₂! Photosynthesis is a major natural process that enables living organisms to use CO₂ as both an energy carrier and a carbon source. In nature, CO₂ is efficiently transformed into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, a C3 carbohydrate. For chemists, achieving this arti

The POWER CO₂ Days! | September 7–9, 2026 | Lyon, France Day 1: Next frontier C3+ We are proud to welcome Catherine Batiot-Dupeyrat (UMR CNRS 7285 – IC2MP, Université de Poitiers) who will present her team's latest research: "Investigation of the Ni–Ce–Zr Synergy for Efficient CO₂ Methanation under Non-Thermal Plasma." (Co-authored with Nathan Cordier and Elodie Fourré) About the Research: In the push for efficient CO₂ conversion with non-thermal plasma, the team synthesized
