The past year has been an exciting and productive time for our group, marked by significant scientific achievements, new collaborations, and important milestones. 🔬 Research & Publications In 2025, we published at least 15 scientific articles, including a cover paper in ACS Applied Energy Materials on W-doped BiVO₄ photoanodes. Our work continues to advance the [...]
We had the pleasure of participating in the 5th International Symposium on Energy and Environmental Photocatalytic Materials (EEPM-5), held on 3–6 November 2025 at the Concorde Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. EEPM-5 is a leading platform bringing together researchers, industry experts, and academics to discuss the latest developments in photocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis, with a [...]
Our team participated in the first in-person meeting of the international project Renewable Energy via Sustainable Hydrogen (RESH), held in Ljubljana, Slovenia.The meeting focused on summarizing the results achieved during the initial months of the project and discussing plans for collaboration in the upcoming phases. It was a valuable chance to exchange insights, strengthen cooperation, [...]
Wiktoria Adamowicz was awarded the Best Poster Prize at the International Workshop on Functional Nanostructured Materials — FuNaM-5.Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition of her research achievements!
The 2nd International Symposium on Catalytic Removal of Soot Particles, held at our Faculty, was also an excellent opportunity for Professor Hiromi Yamashita, Professor Takashi Toyao, and Professor Lingcong Li to visit our laboratories and those of the EWA LAB group.
September was, as usual, rich in conference travels. Our recent results were presented at several scientific meetings: Europacat in Trondheim (Norway), the 9th International Conference on Semiconductor Photochemistry (SP9) in Madrid (Spain), Molecules & Light 2025 / VI Autumn Meeting of the Polish Photochemistry Group in Poznań, and the International Workshop on Functional Nanostructured Materials—FuNaM-5. [...]
The first half of 2025 has been very dynamic and fruitful for our group. We celebrated several important publications—including a cover article—and actively presented our research at conferences, such as the 57th National Catalysis Colloquium and the 5th National Forum of Inorganic Chemistry. It was also a time of important milestones for our team members: [...]
We are excited to share that our article"W-Doped BiVO4 Photoanodes for Light-to-Chemical Energy Conversion"has been selected as a cover article in the journal ACS Applied Energy Materials. This work is the result of a fruitful collaboration with Dr. Milda Petrulevičienė from the State Research Institute Center for Physical Sciences and Technology, Lithuania, who visited our laboratory. [...]
Members of the Team of Photocatalysis and Ewa Lab met on 8 May in Tawerna Wilczy Dół. We challenged the alchemical mixtures and enjoyed delicious food in a medieval-inspired atmosphere. It was an excellent opportunity to get to know each other better and for conversations discussing not only scientific topics. [...]
Krystian Mróz has received his PhD degree. Congratulations! The impact of modifications on the electronic structure of semiconductor photocatalysts in the context of light to chemical energy conversion The doctoral thesis focuses on the structural modifications of semiconductors such as zinc sulfide and titanium dioxide to improve their photocatalytic efficiency in water and carbon dioxide [...]
