🚀 Exceptional Scientists Igor and Kajal Join Our Team! 🚀 Since August this year, we have had the honor of welcoming two outstanding scientists, Igor and Kajal, who are working on projects under the MSCA Fellowships CZ call within the Jan Amos Komenský Operational Programme. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 Igor, a researcher from Serbia, is leading an ambitious project titled: "Construction of Light-Driven Photocatalytic Robots for Remote Solar Hydrogen Production." ➡️ This project aims to transform photoactive semiconductor particles, such as titanium dioxide and strontium titanate, into autonomous photocatalytic robots powered by light. These robots are expected to significantly contribute to sustainable solar energy utilization in hydrogen production. Kajal, a researcher from India, is focusing on a project titled: Unlocking Potential: 3D-Enhanced TENG for Self-Powered Green Hydrogen Production. ➡️ Her goal is to maximize the performance of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) and integrate them with advanced photoelectrochemical 3D-printed electrolyzers. This system will enable efficient and sustainable hydrogen production from water, with a focus on prototype development and the exploration of commercialization opportunities. The duration of their research mobility is planned for 18–24 months. We wish Igor and Kajal great success in realizing their projects, which hold the potential to advance science and promote the use of sustainable and eco-friendly technologies. #Science#Nanotechnology#MarieCurieFellowship#ResearchTeam Fakulta elektrotechniky a informatiky, VŠB-TUO Vysoká škola báňská - Technická univerzita Ostrava

🌟 We are excited to share an interview with Boyang Mao, Technology Coordinator at the Cambridge Graphene Centre, University of Cambridge. In the GREENCAP project, Boyang and his team are responsible for multiscale characterization of electrodes and electrolytes, and are involved in the production and upscaling of single-layer graphene and few-layer graphene through sustainable processess. 🌟 "My research vision is to explore graphene and other layered materials for practical applications. In recent years, there have been numerous breakthroughs in graphene research – the first two-dimensional atomic crystal – along with significant advancements in its mass production. Graphene stands out due to its exceptional properties, including extraordinary mechanical strength, exceptionally high electronic and thermal conductivities, and impermeability to gases. These unique characteristics make it highly appealing for a wide range of applications. My work specifically targets areas such as energy storage, flexible electronics, telecommunications, green chemistry, net-zero technologies, and more."

I am happy to share with you that our collaborative project on the design of nanocellulose based electrolyte membrane for osmotic energy conversion has been funded by ANR, the French National Research Agency. It gathers three academic laboratories IMP Laboratory for polymer synthesis, Cermav for nanocellulose membrane and SyMMES for nanostructure, and the start-up Sweetch Energy for reverse electrodialysis. 🔎🔎 We will look for talented young researchers to join us to tackle this scientific challenge from early 2025, including : 👉 An engineer or post-doc with a background in radical polymerization for a two years contract based at IMP Laboratory in Lyon. 👉A master student with a background in physical chemistry of cellulosic materials for an internship + PhD based at Cermav in Grenoble. 📧 Detailed anouncements will be published soon, but if you are already interested you can contact me by DM or mail me at matthieu.fumagalli@univ-lyon1.fr Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 Centre national de la recherche scientifique Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives PS : the project detailed summary is available below 👇 Blue energy is a renewable, non-intermittent energy source associated to salinity gradients existing between fresh and salty waters and the global reachable power is estimated to 1 TW. It can be converted into electricity by reverse electrodialysis thanks to stacks of cation and anion exchange membranes. Yet, the performances of currently available industrial membranes fall below the threshold of 5 W/m² which is required to make that technology economically viable. Strikingly, studies on model nanofluidic systems reached 0.1 MW/m², and highlighted that the critical membrane parameters driving those performances are the density, nature and spatial distribution of ionic sites within the membrane, and the membrane nanostructure. The CELLOSMO project aims to investigate a new concept to design high performance hybrid membranes combining nanocellulose as a bio-based scaffold and co-polyelectrolytes as reactive ionic building blocks. Thanks to its versatility, the CELLOSMO approach will thus offer the possibility to precisely evaluate the influence of the membrane parameters onto their performance for blue energy conversion and to decipher the related ionic transport mechanisms which are highly debated. In addition, as the CELLOSMO methodology relies on the employment of industrial reagents, biobased materials and scalable processes, its achievement would also be a significant contribution to the industrial development of clean energies and sustainable materials.
