Award
Dr Kasidid Yaemsunthorn received the award for best oral presentation in the V Autumn Meeting of the Polish Photochemistry Group Molecules & Light 2023.
Molecules & Light
We were honoured to host the V Autumn Meeting of the Polish Photochemistry Group, also known as 'Molecules & Light.' This gathering, organized by the Polish section of the EPA, aimed to bring together researchers in the fields of photophysics, photochemistry, photocatalysis, and molecular spectroscopy. The event welcomed 86 participants, not only from Poland but [...]
Thesis defended
Kasidid Yaemsunthorn has got his PhD degree. Congratulations! Phase-Dependent Photocatalytic Activity of TiO2 – the Role of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors The doctoral thesis delves into the phase-dependent photoactivity of anatase and rutile TiO2, explored through various photocatalytic reactions involving oxidation and reduction processes. The investigation of the influential factors involved in this dependency has [...]
Conferences
In August and September, we actively participated in several conferences. Our journey began with the 15th edition of the biannual European Federation of Catalysis Societies (EFCATS) congress, EuropaCat, held in Prague. During this event, we shared our research findings through both oral and poster presentations. Simultaneously, Professor Macyk presented our results at the French-Polish Chemistry [...]
New cover page
Our recent paper, submitted to J. Phys. Chem. C, has been chosen by the editors for feature on the cover page. The manuscript, titled "Spectroscopic and Spectroelectrochemical Studies on the Redox Properties of Zinc Sulfide and Their Impact on Photocatalytic Activity," focuses on the analysis of the electronic structure using emission and absorption UV–vis spectroscopy, [...]
New manuscript
Our new paper, submitted to ACS Appl. Eng. Mater., has been selected by the editors to be featured on the cover page. The manuscript, entitled 'Cobalt-/Copper-Containing Perovskites in Oxygen Evolution and Reduction Reactions,' discusses the electronic properties of perovskite oxides as bifunctional catalysts that play a significant role in their activity in oxygen evolution and [...]
20th International Conference on Carbon Dioxide Utilization
Members of our group attended the 20th International Conference on Carbon Dioxide Utilization, held in Bari, Italy, on June 25-29, 2023. We have presented 4 lectures and 2 posters. The conference was an opportunity to refresh contact with Prof. Aresta and Prof. Dibenedetto and meet our graduate Dr Tomasz Baran who started a position in [...]
