SONATA 19 project granted
Dr Kaja Spilarewicz received a grant in the Sonata 19 competition. The project "Nanoengineering of active sites in carbon nitride for single-atom heterogeneous photocatalysis", investigated by Dr Kaja Spilarewicz, is aimed to produce and study the latest class of materials – separated single metal atoms localized on a semiconductor matrix (carbon nitride) – to indicate [...]
New group photos
We are excited to share new group photos featuring our Team of Photocatalysis and members from the Kowalska and Parino groups.
International cooperation
Our group has become increasingly international. For the next few months, we will host Alessandro Gottuso from Italy. Alessandro is a Ph.D. student in Materials Engineering at the Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Trento.
56th National Catalytic Colloquium
We had the pleasure of participating in the 56th National Catalytic Colloquium, which took place at the Jerzy Haber Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Krakow on March 20-22, 2024. The conference was an opportunity to present our results in an oral presentation.
International cooperation
Throughout February, our research group had the pleasure of hosting two doctoral students (Vendula Meinhardova and Lada Dubnova) from the University of Pardubice, Czech Republic. Together, we embarked on a collaborative research journey exploring the mechanisms of heterojunction action. It was an enriching experience filled with insightful discussions and fruitful experiments. We're grateful for [...]
Thesis defence
Kamil Urbanek has got his PhD degree with distinction. Congratulations! Photocatalytic CO2 reduction in the presence of composites of semiconductor photocatalysts The urgent need to address the economic and environmental challenges posed by carbon dioxide has led to a concerted effort to develop techniques for its atmospheric transformation. Photocatalysis, leveraging solar energy, emerges as a [...]
Thesis defended
Anna Jakimińska has got her PhD degree with distinction. Congratulations! Processes of energy and electron transfer in photocatalytic systems containing metallic nanostructures In this thesis, the possibility of energy or electron transfer in the systems containing titanium dioxide and various metallic nanostructures during photocatalytic processes was examined. Emphasis was placed on the elucidation of the [...]
12th Czech – Polish Catalytic Symposium
Our results were presented at the 12th Czech – Polish Catalytic Symposium, held in Ostrava, Czech Republic, on February 9th, 2024. We have presented 2 lectures. As always, the symposium was full of interesting presentations and inspiring scientific discussion.
