"Environmental Protection": the world's most prestigious award in this field
" Hybrid materials chemistry involves, for example, endowing a simple piece of transparent glass with the suppleness and vibrant color of a flower petal to create a material with high-performance mechanical and optical properties. And the field of possibilities (in information technology, medicine, energy, cosmetics, construction, transport, etc.) is limited only by our imagination: in the environmental field, we can develop photovoltaic cells on hard or flexible substrates, sensors capable of detecting toxic materials, photocatalysts to clean up liquids, adsorbers with the power to capture CO2, catalysts to transform heavy hydrocarbons into gasoline with minimum energy consumption, etc. "
