Etude électrochimique de molécules aminées aliphatiques et hétéroaromatiques. Application aux microcapteurs de pH.
2009
The first part describes the state of the art (electrochemical synthesis, developed applications and electrochemical reaction mechanisms) of the molecules used in his work: pyrrole and ethylenediamine. A second part is dedicated to the evolution of pH measurement processes. Thus, after an explanation of the pH concept, a presentation of both conventional pH measurement technique and of recent pH measurements methods is given.Then, thin polymer films are deposited on platinum surfaces by anodic electropolymerization of pyrrole and ethylenediamine. Then, we tested different electrolyte composition to determine the influence of solvent, salt and monomer concentrations on the electro-oxidation …
Study of a chromia-forming alloy behavior as interconnect material for High Temperature Vapor Electrolysis
2011
In High Temperature Vapor Electrolysis (HTVE) system, the materials chosen for the interconnectors should have a good corrosion behaviour in air and in H2-H2O mixtures at 800°C, and keep a high electronic conductivity over long durations as well. In this context, the first goal of this study was to evaluate a commercial ferritic alloy (the K41X alloy) as interconnect for HTVE application. Oxidation tests in furnace and in microbalance have therefore been carried out in order to determine oxidation kinetics. Meanwhile, the Area Specific Resistance (ASR) was evaluated by Contact Resistance measurements performed at 800°C. The second objective was to improve our comprehension of chromia-formin…
Développement d'un procédé électrochimique pour le recyclage du néodyme à partir de déchets électroniques
2018
Neodymium belongs to the lanthanide’s serie of the period system and is the key component of the permanent magnets Nd2Fe14B which are implemented in electronic devices and “green” technologies like wind turbines or electric cars and bicycles. Nowadays, only one percent of the neodymium in electronic scraps is recycled. Due to the geopolitical considerations and a strong increase of the use of permanent magnets, there is an impoverishment of the raw material resources leading to an instable market.Since some decades, few recycling processes have been developed on a lab scale without any upscaling to the industrial scale. The existing processes have several drawbacks like multiple steps to ob…
Contribution to the modeling of microstructural corrosion on aluminium alloys : definition of a methodology to study the bimetallic corrosion phenome…
2008
The initiation and the propagation of aluminum alloys microstructural corrosion is mainly based on the bimetallic corrosion phenomenon. This type of corrosion is caused by galvanic coupling at a local scale between the different phases contained in the alloy. The description of the localized corrosion phenomenon has been largely studied. Their complexity can explain why they are so difficult to predict by the way of numerical tools and why the works that have been done on this subject are so scarce. The present thesis brings a new contribution to this field by suggesting a methodology based on the complementary use of local electrochemical techniques and the finite element simulation of bim…
De l’ingénierie de protéines de liaison aux odorants à la détection électrochimique de molécules volatiles vers la conception de biocapteurs et nez é…
2014
The detection of odorant molecules has become an important challenge in different research area, such as the food industry, medical diagnostics and homeland security. Indeed, the thousands of odorants in our environment provide information on their chemical nature or their concentration. Human olfactory system is capable of discriminating thousands of different molecules thanks to biochemical mechanisms involving multiple protein receptor partners and a combinatorial coding. These biomolecules that include olfactory receptors and odorant-binding proteins (OBP) represent an interesting source of detectors for the design of biosensors. OBPs are small soluble proteins present in nasal mucus at…
Extraordinary stability of hemocyanins from L. polyphemus and E. californicum studied using infrared spectroscopy from 294 to 20 K
2016
International audience; Hemocyanins are large oligomeric respiratory proteins found in many arthropods and molluscs. Here we give infrared spectroscopic evidence of a high stability towards exposure to sub-zero temperatures for hemocyanins from the arthropods Limulus polyphemus and Eurypelma californicum at different pH values. Small but distinct temperature induced changes of the secondary structure were observed, but a stable core of at least 40% α-helical structure is preserved as identified in the infrared spectra obtained between 294 and 20 K. The structural changes differ in detail somewhat for the two hemocyanins, with overall fewer changes observed in the case of E. californicum. No…
PI-Extension of porphyrins via intramolecular aromatic oxidative C-N coupling
2019
Π-extension of porphyrins has been performed via intramolecular oxidative C-N coupling of peripheral pyridinyl fragment(s) with the porphyrin core. These fusion reactions lead to the formation of C-N bond(s) between the substituent(s) and the porphyrin. The precursors were functionnalized with 2-mercaptopyridine, 8-hydoxyquinoline and 2-picoline at their meso or β-pyrrolic positions via aromatic nucleophlic substitution, cross-coupling reaction or reaction of the macrocycle with organolithium reagents. Voltametric analyses revealed some marked differences on the reactivity of the porphyrins depending on their substitution pattern and metalation (nickel(II) or zinc(II)). Chemical and electro…
Amperometric detection of extended-spectrum β-lactamase activity : application to the characterization of resistant E.coli strains
2015
EA MERS CT3; International audience; The amperometric detection of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) with carbon screen-printed sensors was investigated in the presence of the Nitrocefin, a commercially-available β-lactamase chromogenic cephalosporin substrate. Using an ESBL isolated from a clinical sample, it was shown for the first time that the intensity of a specific anodic pic current (EP = [similar]+0.3 V vs. Ag/AgCl) resulting from the catalytic hydrolysis of the β-lactam ring was proportional to the amount of ESBL. The proof-of-principle of a novel susceptibility assay for the rapid and accurate identification of ESBL- producing bacteria was then demonstrated. The detection schem…
Thermodynamics, transport phenomena, and electrochemistry of external field-assisted nonthermal food technologies
2017
Interest in the development and adoption of nonthermal technologies is burgeoning within the food and bioprocess industry, the associated research community, and among the consumers. This is evident from not only the success of some innovative nonthermal technologies at industrial scale, but also from the increasing number of publications dealing with these topics, a growing demand for foods processed by nonthermal technologies and use of natural ingredients. A notable feature of the nonthermal technologies such as cold plasma, electrohydrodynamic processing, pulsed electric fields, and ultrasound is the involvement of external fields, either electric or sound. Therefore, it merits to study…
Interfaces électrochimiques et couches minces sondées par ellipsométrie
2020
Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) is a non-invasive, non-destructive, and contactless optical technique which is based on the change in the polarization state of light as it is typically reflected from a thin film sample. Often seen primarily as ex situ or of particularly helpful interest to control in situ vacuum growth processes, SE can also be promoted as an analytical tool to diagnose electrolyte-electrode interface during wet processes. I will mainly highlight in this document my researches contributions in this field: (i) the very early growth stages of bismuth telluride electrodeposition, (ii) the physico-chemical properties of oxides grown in the early regime of plasma electrolytic ox…
