Innovations in the production of silver mirrors focus on reducing the use of copper, which is complex and expensive to recycle.

However, the method commonly used today remains expensive, including the use of very expensive reaction precursors and a thermal process.

The project aims to develop a new mirror coating with glass protection. The advantages of this technology are:
- the possibility of obtaining an ultra-thin (nanometric) metal layer, which will make it possible to reduce the quantity of metal precursor required, and thus reduce costs.
- to use a solvent-free (and therefore more ecological) photochemical synthesis process that makes it possible to eliminate activation and passivation steps (reduction of manufacturing costs)
