JSI meeting on catalysts synthesis, characterization and applications – 25.05.2023
The scope is to organize a workshop where we would like to connect knowledge from various research areas at JSI with the goal of combining efforts in related/complementary fields.
Talks are invited and will cover:
– different methods for catalysts synthesis such as, but not limited, wet chemistry, anodic oxidation, electro deposition, magnetron sputtering, etc.
– characterization techniques to evaluate morphology, composition, crystal structure, including various physicochemical properties as, but not limited, UV-VIS, XPS, SEM, TEM, XRD, Raman, EPR, etc.
– catalyst in the working environment as performance measurements or modeling under different catalytic conditions for applications in various fields including, but not limited, to organic pollutant and microplastic removal, water splitting, CO2 reduction, etc.
The aim of this workshop is to synchronize activities towards large European or/and national research project.
Organizers: Belisa Alcantara Marinho, Matejka Podlogar, Sašo Šturm – K7
and Špela Stres – U1, Levin Pal, Tomaž Lutman – U7, Marjeta Trobec, Maša Rener – U9
