Overview

The team conducts fundamental research with the aims of application in the field of catalysis. The group aims to explore new concepts in catalysis (confinement effects, bimetallic catalysis, single-atom catalysis), design new catalytic systems and, more recently, develop specific tools for catalysis through collaborations, particularly via continuous flow chemistry approaches. The activation of small molecules, particularly for energy, and the functionalisation of bio-based molecules are the team’s main targets.

The team also studies atomic-scale reactions on the surface of materials using in situ/operando spectroscopy techniques such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), Raman spectroscopy, and diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS).

Bidyut Bikash Sarma is working as CNRS research fellow (CRCN) at Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination (LCC), CNRS, Toulouse, France since March 2024. He received his PhD in 2016 at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, in homogeneous catalysis with the topic of electron transfer oxygen transfer (ET-OT) reaction. Afterward, he worked as an Alexander von Humboldt fellow at the department of heterogeneous catalysis at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung, Germany in the area of single atom catalyst. He then moved to Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany, in 2020 as a senior research associate to work in the field of in-situ/operando spectroscopy. In 2023, he worked as Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at the University of Cambridge, UK, on the topic of photo-electro catalysis. His main research focus is in-situ/operando spectroscopy to understand the dynamic behavior of catalysts.
