An ICB doctoral student wins the prize for the best poster at the Annual Days of the French Ceramics Group (GFC)
Alan Zerrouki, a 3rd year doctoral student in the PMDM and Interfaces departments (ICB Laboratory) and in collaboration with the Lyon-based deeptech company ITEN, was awarded the prize for the best poster at the Annual Days of the French Ceramics Group (GFC) which took place in Limoges from 21 to 23 March 2023. This learned society, with several hundred members, brings together the actors of the ceramic community, i.e. engineers, researchers, students and industrialists, and aims to promote the latest advances in terms of ceramic science and technology.
Since its creation in 2011 by Fabien GABEN (former PhD student of the ICB Laboratory), Bruno Vuillemin (PMDM department) and Frédéric Bouyer (Interfaces department) of the ICB Laboratory have been collaborating with the startup ITEN, a leading French industrial company in the field of micro-batteries. These all-solid-state lithium-ion micro-batteries, based on a multilayer architecture of all-ceramic electrodes, have power densities about a thousand times higher than those of conventional button cells, for a thickness of about a hundred micrometres.

The aim of my thesis work is to understand the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process that allows the shaping of the ceramic electrodes that make up these micro-batteries. The complexity of this process due in particular to the presence of many parameters led me initially to study the EPD process via a model system composed of silica nanoparticles. During the JA of the GFC 2023, I presented a poster entitled: “Étude Expérimentale Et Modélisation Du Dépôt Par EPD De Nanoparticules De Silice En Milieu Aqueux". Our approach consisted in developing a numerical finite element model (FEM) fed by feedback from the laboratory in order to highlight the main mechanisms involved in the deposition by EPD in aqueous media. This distinction granted by the members of the GFC jury allows me to pursue my research work with confidence, particularly with the study of materials of interest to the company.
