The platform specializes in the synthesis of biocompatible nanomaterials for applications ranging from air and water purification and  energy harvesting to the fabrication of antibacterial and antiviral surfaces. It also enables the convergence of microfluidic/MEMS technology with nanomaterials by integrating them into devices, such as microfluidic reactors or large surfaces like depolluting road capable of treating water and purifing air using photocatalytist nanomaterials.

The platform employs several complementary analytical methods, including optical spectroscopy (UV-Vis-IR, FTIR, Fluorescence, Photoluminescence), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS), and electrochemistry. Another distinctive feature of the platform is the use of MEMS-FTIR optical microspectrometers—deployed in the immediate vicinity of the environment under study—to monitor changes in gas composition in real time. Finally, the platform focuses on the study of microfluidic sensors for analyzing various drinking water pollutants, including organic dyes, heavy metals and microplastics.

The platform is organized into several specialized rooms: a nanomaterial synthesis room, an optical characterization room, and an analytical room equipped with HPLC/MS.
