The goal of the PolyHER project is to design a new type of electrode from porous conductive polymers (CPs) coated with low-cost electrocatalytic material based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC). By varying synthesis parameters, one will maximize the catalytically active site's concentration. Catalytic activity will improve additionally by milling of TMDC with additives. This way, both the conductivity and active surface of the material will increase. To get the electrode, the catalys...

The synergistic action of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as hypoallergenic carriers and Gentiana lutea root extract (GRE) with healing, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties can favourably affect skin re-epithelialization by stimulating the synthesis of proteins and lipids involved in the epidermal barrier formation. Our previous research has shown that NPs of a certain size and concentration in combination with herbal components show a better effect due to synergistic interaction compa...

Mullite (3Al2O3·2SiO2) is light and inexpensive ceramic material which is highly regarded as a potential candidate for fabrication of diesel particulate filters (DPFs). Highly porous, needle-like (acicular) mullite structure is fully suitable for capturing and removal of harmful particulate matter (soot) from diesel engine exhaust causing minimal pressure drop which is extremely important for smooth engine operation. At the same time filter material is expected to catalyse combustion, i.e., o...

The development of renewable energy sources as the basis of sustainable development in the future represents a challenge that could be overcome by the hydrogen economy as one of the most appropriate ways to store and transport energy. In order to turn to the future of the hydrogen economy, which is gradually making its way on the world market, there is a need to change the thinking of young people. It is therefore necessary to educate students, providing them with the future skills required b...
