Institut Lavoisier de Versailles (ILV)

Research unit

Description

The Lavoiser institute is structured in 3 research teams covering the whole chemistry related domains, from the synthesis of molecules to the material science:
- Organic synthesis
- Molecules-Matter and Materials
- Electrochemistry and physical chemistry of interfaces
A technical platform for analysis and characterization (PACA) as well as a spectroscopy center (CEFS2) are part of the institute and available for external users. ILV is a very innovative institute widely involved in several industrial and academic partnership.
