Fabrice Mauvy

Fabrice Mauvy is a Professor of Chemistry at the IUT of Bordeaux, University of Bordeaux, and a researcher at the Institute of Condensed Matter Chemistry of Bordeaux (ICMCB), a joint research unit of CNRS and the University of Bordeaux. His work bridges solid-state chemistry and electrochemistry with a strong focus on sustainable energy technologies.

His research interests lie at the intersection of hydrogen energy, fuel cell technology, and advanced materials. He investigates innovative methods for hydrogen production, particularly through the hydrolysis of magnesium, and explores on-demand hydrogen generation (HOD) systems. His work also targets the optimization of materials used in fuel cells and electrolysis processes, aiming to enhance efficiency, safety, and scalability for real-world applications.

The available publications reflect a consistent focus on electrochemical energy conversion and hydrogen production technologies, particularly under extreme conditions such as high pressure and temperature. His research demonstrates a trajectory toward decentralized, green hydrogen systems suitable for mobile and nomadic applications.

• Scientific Mediation:
• Regular participant in Researchers' Night
• Involved in Bordeaux Scientific Circuit
• Speaker in high school interventions (Sciences en débat, Cap Sciences)
• Provides energy training for primary school teachers at Maison pour la science in Bordeaux

Fabrice Mauvy has been active in public communication and media outreach, contributing to discussions on green hydrogen, sustainable energy, and the societal aspects of hydrogen technology. His work includes the development of a patented hydrogen production reactor tested on bicycles and achieving high-pressure hydrogen through chemical compression. He collaborates on interdisciplinary projects involving materials development, reactor design, and energy system integration.

He is part of a research team at ICMCB-CNRS, working on physicochemical processes for energy conversion, with a strong emphasis on innovation and practical implementation. His laboratory work supports the broader goals of decarbonizing transportation and energy supply through hydrogen-based solutions.
