At the 6th European Conference on Environmental Applications of Advanced Oxidation Processes which was held during 26th and 30th June 2019 in Portorož-Portorose, Živa Marinko successfully presented poster with the title – Connecting Metal Titanium Surface Properties and TiO2 Nanotube Photocatalytic Activity: Top-Down Approach and was therefore given a diploma for the 3rd place at the Student Paper Contest and awarded an Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology Poster Prize.
The European Commission has endorsed two significant project proposals from the “Jožef Stefan” Institute’s Nanostructured Materials Department with high marks, allocating €15.4 million for research on permanent magnets essential for the Green Transition. Leading the SINGLE-GRAIN RE-ENGINEERED Nd-Fe-B PERMANENT MAGNETS (GREENE) project, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kristina Žužek will oversee the project coordination and efforts in developing high-energy Nd-Fe-B-based magnets, innovatively engineering them at the single grain level, with a funding of €2 million. This project includes setting up a demonstration line in Slovenia. The BEETHOVEN project researchers the SUBSTITUTION OF RARE EARTHS FOR ADVANCED NOVEL MAGNETS IN ENERGY AND TRANSPORT APPLICATIONS, with a €0.5 million contribution to the institute, with Dr. Petra Jenuš in the lead. This project aims to innovate in magnet technology by replacing rare earth elements with high-entropy alloys, ferrite composites, and W-type ferrites. The financing agreement is expected to be signed in spring 2024. https://www.ijs.si/ijsw/V001/JSI
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 –…
Slovenska znanstvena fundacija (SZF), in collaboration with the World Federation of Scientists (WFS), granted ten national scholarships to Slovene doctoral students and young doctors conducting research related to Planetary Emergencies. The World Laboratory program brings together young creative people responding to the challenges of the modern world. One of the scholarship recipients is Dr. Tomaž Tomše. Under the supervision of Professor Sašo Šturm, Tomaž will develop a new approach towards the manufacture of advanced multicomponent Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets for electromotors and generators. Congratulations!
New publication: Triggering the Aqueous Interparticle Association of γ‒Al2O3 Hierarchical Assemblies Using Divalent Cations and Cellulose Nanofibers. We successfully prepared stable aqueous suspensions, containing hierarchically assembled, mesoporous γ‒Al2O3 particles with high surface area. Addition of divalent cations such as Mg2+ or Ca2+ or cellulose nanofibers triggered a formation of various interparticle associations, which hindered or even prevented sedimentation. Preparation of such suspensions is especially important for preparation of advanced, porous ceramic materials relevant in catalysis and adsorption. The work was published in the leading scientific publication dealing with ceramic materials Journal of the European Ceramic Society.
Research article: A spark-plasma-sintering approach to the manufacture of anisotropic Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets. The research article addresses issues associated with the production of Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets. The shape of the magnet is limited to simple geometrical forms when the conventional sintering techniques are applied. This approach limits the desing freedom of electrical motors and generators and hinders the development of advanced energy-conversion technologies. The authors proposed a contemporary sintering technique, based on fast consolidation of a powder compact by means of electrical current, as an alternative solution for the manufacture of complex-shaped magnets. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304885319335887
How to make zirconia based composites electroconductive and thus suitable for Electrical Discharge Machining? You can read about it now in an open access scientific journal Materials. Our coworkers Ana Lazar, Tomaž Kosmač, Janez Zavašnik, Anže Abram and Andraž Kocjan reported on advanced fabrication route of zirconia based nanocomposites resulted in enhanced mechanical and electrical properties enabling cost efficient machining at low contents of reinforcing phase. https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1944/12/17/2789/htm
