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 [...]
We are happy to welcome three students—Sandrine, Naboudja, and Stessy—from Paris-Saclay University. As part of their internship, they will conduct research in our group over the next two months. We wish them a productive and inspiring stay!
We’re excited to share that Dr. Taymaz Tabari delivered a presentation titled "From Sunlight to Hydrogen – Production and Conversion of Green Energy" during the latest meeting of the Małopolska Regional Group for the Development of Hydrogen Technologies. The event brought together a full session hall of experts from science, business, and public administration, showcasing Małopolska’s [...]
On March 12, 2025, Prof. Wojciech Macyk discussed his work on solar-driven hydrogen production in an interview with Ewa Szkurłat on Radio Kraków. You can listen to the full interview [here]!
We are pleased to announce that the project "Renewable Energy via Sustainable Hydrogen" (RESH) has received funding in the M-ERA NET Call 2024. Prof. Wojciech Macyk will lead the Polish team. In collaboration with researchers from the Jožef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana and the University of Liège, the project aims to develop a novel, sustainable, [...]
The Jerzy Haber Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, has announced the results of the Andrzej Pomianowski and Jerzy Haber Awards for the best master's theses. The Andrzej Pomianowski Award recognizes outstanding master's theses in chemistry, physics, and interdisciplinary fields at the intersection of chemistry and biology, chemistry and physics, or [...]
