Mathieu Prevot

Mathieu Prevot is a CNRS junior researcher at the Institute for Research in Catalysis and Environment of Lyon (IRCELYON), focusing on heterogeneous catalysis for energy transition. His research spans electrocatalysis, photoelectrochemistry, and sustainable chemistry to address carbon-neutral energy models.

• Education: License in Chemistry (2010) and Master in Chemistry (2012) from École Normale Supérieure de Lyon; PhD (2017) from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.

His work involves developing photoelectrochemical cells with metal oxides and chalcogenides for solar hydrogen production, alongside in-situ investigations of charge behavior and surface mechanisms. Recent publications highlight advancements in biomass valorization, lignin electrolysis, and syngas conversion using novel catalysts.

At IRCELYON, he contributes to the CATREN research team, emphasizing integrated approaches for pollutant recovery and sustainable chemical processes. His research also includes collaborations on deep learning, environmental electron microscopy, and in situ characterizations.

Key projects include catalyst design for solar fuels, electrocatalytic hydrogenation, and thermochimical biomass valorization. He utilizes techniques such as X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy for material analysis.
