French chemist
Sophie Carenco is a researcher at the
French National Center for Scientific Research ,
[1] working on
nanochemistry at the Laboratory of Condensed Matter Chemistry of Paris. Her research focuses on novel synthetic routes of exotic
nanomaterials for energy application such as
CO2 capture .
Early life and education
Sophie Carenco is from the city of
Hyeres in France,
[2] and graduated from
Ecole Polytechnique in 2008. She obtained her PhD in 2011 from
Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris, working on the synthesis and applications of metal phosphide nanoparticles.
[3] From 2012 to 2013, she was a post-doctoral fellow at
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in
Berkeley ,
California , in Miquel Salmeron's group working on
X-ray spectroscopy at the
Advanced Light Source .
[1]
Research and career
In 2014, she joined the
French National Center for Scientific Research as a researcher in the team Hybrid Materials and Nanomaterials of the Laboratory of Condensed Matter Chemistry of Paris (LCMCP), associated with
Sorbonne University and
Collège de France , with a L'Oreal-UNESCO-Académie des Sciences Fellowship.
[4] In 2017, she was awarded an
ERC Starting Grant to work on small molecules activation at the surface of nanoparticles.
[5]
Carenco's research during her undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral training was on the use of
white phosphorus to synthesize nickel-containing
nanoparticles
[6] which can be constructed into defined sizes,
[7] and investigating the catalysis of reactions of nickel nanoparticles with
alkynes ,
[8] and nanoscaled reaction mechanisms with
borides and
phosphides .

Awards and honors
She was awarded the European Young Chemist Award from the
European Chemical Society in 2010
[10] and the C'Nano National Award
[11] in 2012 for her PhD work. In 2018 she was awarded the Bronze Medal of the
CNRS
[12] and the Jean Rist Medal.
[13] In 2020, she received a Clara Immerwahr award from
UniSysCat .
