The goal of INL is to encourage world-leading multidisciplinary research in the areas of micro and nanotechnologies and their applications. The pioneering research undertaken at the Institute ranges from materials and technology to devices and systems, thus enabling the emergence of dedicated technologies. The Institute is supported in its work by the Nanolyon Technology Platform.

In the frame of the IPPON project, the i-Lum (Light engineering and conversion) and H&N (Heteroepitaxy and Nanostructures) groups develop the thin layer materials needed for the project, realize and study the nanophotonic structures dedicated to incoherent light trapping needed to control photocatalysis. Lastly, these groups, with the assistance of the DE (Electronic devices) group, contribute to the development of nanophononic structures dedicated to temperature control in photocatalytic media.

The Hubert Curien laboratory is a joint research unit (UMR 5516 ) of the Jean Monnet University, Saint-Etienne, the National Research Centre "CNRS" and the Institut d’Optique Graduate School. It is composed of about 90 researchers, professors and assistant professors, 20 engineers and administrative staff and 130 PhD and post-PhD students. This makes the Hubert Curien laboratory with a total of about 240 staff the most important research structure of Saint-etienne. Our research activities are organized according to two scientific departments: Optics, photonics and microwave and Computer science, telecom and image. The research activity is structured into scientific projects within 6 main teams: Micro/Nano structuring, Radiation-matter Interaction, Image Science & computer vision, Data Intelligence, Connected Intelligence and Secure Embedded Systems & Hardware Architetctures."

The Light and Matter Institute is a mixed unit CNRS and Lyon 1 University, committed to performing excellence level multidisciplinary research in physics and chemistry both in the fundamental and applied fields. The ILM members participating to IPPON are worldwide renown experts in the study of thermal transport in a variety of complex materials. Specifically, they focus their efforts in getting a microscopic understanding of thermal transport by means of the investigation of phonon dynamics by inelastic neutrons and x ray scattering techniques.

The Institute of Research on Catalysis and the Environment of Lyon (IRCELYON) is a mixed research unit between the CNRS and the University of Lyon which brings together all competences in heterogeneous catalysis over the Lyon area and forms the largest catalysis laboratory in France and Europe. IRCELYON aims to provide answers to the questions related to the two major societal issues of energy transition and sustainable development. Its missions are to deepen the fundamental knowledge of catalytic phenomena and to develop the concepts and processes that will lead tomorrow to a safer and more environmentally friendly chemistry.

As part of the IPPON project, IRCELYON aims to demonstrate the potential of original incoherent light management structures for photocatalysis. A first objective is to demonstrate the potential of these structures for the depollution of water and air. The other objective is to demonstrate the interest of these structures for the photocatalytic production of solar fuels such as hydrogen and for artificial photosynthesis, especially by highlighting new photocatalytic regimes. To achieve these objectives, IRCELYON develops suitable conformal deposition methods of the colloidal photocatalysts in accordance with backbone structures, and performs photocatalytic tests for the different applications on instrumented setups adapted to nanophotonic structures.
