Kemian tutkinto-ohjelman työelämäpäivä kokosi yhteen joukon innostuneita kuulijoita. Tilaisuudessa saatiin kuulla lukuisia mielenkiintoisia uratarinoita erilaisilta kemian alan ammattilaisilta, jotka ovat valmistuneet Oulun yliopistosta. Tämän lisäksi kuultiin kesätyö- ja vaihtokokemuksia muutamilta opiskelijoilta. Myös kestävän kemian tutkimusyksikössä kesätöissä ollut Jere Hokkanen kertoi omista kesätyökokemuksistaan. #sustainablechemistry #unioulu #chemistry

A new joint-publication with Tampere University. In this study, granular activated carbon (GAC) was impregnated with copper or nickel and used as microbial electrosynthesis (MES) cathode. In abiotic runs, metal impregnated GAC resulted in higher current densities, compared to GAC without metal impregnation. In addition, in MES, metal impregnated GAC enhanced acetate production rates compared to control GAC. Overall, impregnating GAC with metals shows high potential for improving the MES performance.

Check Riikka Juhola´s interview from the latest Kemia-Kemi (in Finnish only). "The processing of sawdust and other biomass into higher value-added products, such as water treatment materials and biofuels, will grow in the future," says Riikka Juhola, who completed her doctoral thesis on the subject.

PhD student Reima Terho's studies have shown furfural-based epoxy resins have extremely interesting properties compared to fossil-based DGEBA, which is a derivative of bisphenol A (BPA). Instead, furfural can be produced from various biomass side streams and leftovers. By creating new biobased materials, we can also make very interesting new discoveries! The ongoing work has been carried out in Business Finland funded FurBio project. #biobased #bioeconomy #businessfinland #furfural #oulu #resin #thermoset

SAFELOOP is a new project coordinated by the University of Oulu. The main objective of the SAFELOOP project is to improve the durability of lithium-ion batteries, and even double their lifetime compared to 2019. Another major EU Horizon Europe project is STREAMS Project which aims to strengthen battery material supply chains.

Open position for Doctoral researcher in our unit
We are now recruiting Doctoral researcher with the topic Halide-based solid-state electrolytes development and Interface Design for solid-state battery, to join us in Research unit of Sustainable Chemistry at the Faculty of Technology. The Research Unit of Sustainable Chemistry located in the Faculty of Technology has 70 employees. The unit performs extensive chemistry research in the fields of 1) bioeconomy, and 2) inorganic circular economy. In the field of bioeconomy, the unit conducts research related to the utilization of lignocellulosic side streams as raw materials for high value-added products. The research topics include chemical modification of side streams to adsorbents and catalysts, conversion of side streams to platform chemicals as well as the preparation of biomass-based polymeric materials. Circular economy area conducts diverse research for the utilization of inorganic side and waste streams. Research topics are related to water treatment, fertilizers and recovery of precious metals. High-quality research related to Li-ion and Na-ion batteries is focused on cathode active materials, sustainable anode materials including biomass-based graphite, solid-state electrolytes and recycling of spent batteries. Collaboration with companies is intensive. More information on comments

New joint-paper with colleagues from CSIR India–Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Chungnam National University (Republic of Korea), and King Saud University (Saudi Arabia)! α–Fe2O3 NPs decorated over MnO2 nanorods surface (Fe/MnO2NRs). The Fe in MnO2NRs promotes SMSI and thus, increases the reducibility of Mn4+ to Mn3+. The Surface adsorbed oxygen (Oads.) enhanced the oxidation activity. Finally, optimal 10 wt.% Fe/MnO2NRs exhibited the highest catalytic activity

A new research paper from Sherif Hegazy et al.! Our latest study showcases how we successfully controlled the surface charge, textural properties, and crystallinity of UiO-66-NH2@HTC composites to optimize their performance as high-efficiency adsorbents for pollutants. By precisely adjusting and enhancing these key factors, we achieved remarkable adsorption capacities for methylene blue and Congo red.

New paper fro Mika Christophliemk et al.! In recent decades, the concentration of pharmaceutical residues and narcotics has increased in municipal wastewater. Decomposing these toxic organic chemicals is challenging and requires new techniques and advanced catalytic materials. In this paper the precursors of metal composites were prepared by calcining an aqueous suspension of natural clay–based kaolin with Mn and Cu, binding chemically the active metals to the aluminosilicate frame structure of the precursor. It was found that metal composites were mechanically and chemically highly durable, inducing only 1.2 wt.% and 1.4 wt.% mass loss. A notable result was when in CWAO, Mn and Cu composite increased the biodegradation of organic species in the wastewater by 65% and 75%, respectively
