We play SHENG with Wuhan!
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 [...]
8th Czech – Polish Catalytic Symposium
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.
New paper published
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 [...]
Thesis defended
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 [...]
