Elsje Alessandra Quadrelli

Elsje Alessandra Quadrelli is a researcher at CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research) affiliated with the IRCELYON laboratories in Lyon, France. She specializes in designing functional materials for sustainable chemistry, particularly focusing on CO₂ photoreduction and atomic layer deposition (ALD) technologies.

Her research spans three key areas: (1) MOF-based materials for CO₂ conversion in the POWERCO2 project, (2) ALD/MLD for synthesizing transition metal dichalcogenide thin films, and (3) Situated Green Chemistries, a transdisciplinary framework merging feminist epistemologies with sustainable chemistry to explore alternative futures.

Recent publications highlight her expertise in

• CO₂ photoreduction and hydrogenation
• MOFs and porous polymers for catalytic applications
• ALD/MLD for atomic-level material engineering
• Transdisciplinary approaches to sustainability

Her work integrates experimental and computational methods across materials science, surface chemistry, and environmental science.

Labs/Teams: IRCELYON (Institut de Recherches sur la Catalyse et l'Environnement de Lyon), where she leads the POWERCO2 targeted project.
