The Team of Photocatalysis has been granted with almost 1.4 million zloty for the joint Polish-Chinese research project entitled "Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide based on p-type semiconductors". The project is supported by the National Science Centre, Poland (NCN) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). Together with the group of Prof. Jiaguo [...]
Our results were presented at the 8th Czech – Polish Catalytic Symposium, held in Ostrava, Czech Republic, on February 15th 2019. We have presented 5 lectures. Symposium as always was packed with many interesting presentations but we also had time for discussions.
Recently our work was published in Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, and was present in the Highlights section. The work is focused on the misuse of the Tauc method in determining the band gap energy of semiconductors, and provides easy to use approach. The article also has Liveslides available in the Supporting information section that [...]
Marcin Surówka has got his PhD degree. Congratulation! Photocatalytic Degradation of Herbicides at Titanium(IV) Oxide Modified with Metal Salts and Oxides The doctoral thesis was focused on environmental problems related to contamination of water with herbicides: 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T. One of the most promising methods for water purification is heterogeneous photocatalysis. In this work a wide [...]
Two members of our group have attended the IV International Conference Oxygenalia 2018 in Vilnius (11-13 October 2018) where prof. Wojciech Macyk has given a lecture entitled „Metal oxides in photocatalysis – opportunities and limitations” and Magdalena Mikrut presented poster "Particulate matter from Kraków versus standardized air pollution: physicochemical analysis, HO˙ and singlet oxygen photo-generation".
On November 8 this year in the hall of the Faculty of Chemistry of the Jagiellonian University, the 15th anniversary of CITTRU was held. During the meeting prizes were awarded for constant, long-term cooperation with business partners bringing continuous and highest revenues in the JU for the provision of commercial research and expert services. The [...]
The members of our research team took part in the training session "The latest technological solutions for analytical chemistry" was organized by shim-pol.
We are glad to inform that we are looking for people to work within the OPUS 12 project "Remotely light-controlled activity in dyes, proteins, catalysts: imaging, sensing, energy conversion". More detailed offer can be downloaded from following link: Detailed offer
Few members of our group have attended the 10th European meeting on Solar Chemistry and Photocatalysis: Environmental Applications (SPEA10), held in Almería, Spain, on June 4th – 8th 2018. We have presented 3 lectures and 3 posters. The schedule of the conference was haeavily packed with lectures worth listening to. We are now back in [...]
Prof. Sebastian Maćkowski, prof. Joanna Niedziółka-Jönsson and prof. Wojciech Macyk obtained a grant from National Science Centre within OPUS 12 programme. The project “Remotely light-controlled activity of dyes, proteins and catalysts: imaging, sensing and energy conversion” is intended to show that the energy of photons illuminating a nanowire can be transported to its other end, and that [...]
