When investigating the mechanism of epitaxial growth of rutile fibres, the authors of the study found that this nanostructured material spontaneously dissociates water. This is the first case of so-called spontaneous…
Many biological processes in cells must be limited to certain cellular compartments, such as, for example. nucleus or lysosomes so that several processes can run in parallel smoothly and more efficiently. In addition to…
In a collaboration between researchers of the D13 department and colleagues from the Czech Academy of Sciences, interesting findings have been made in the field of chemical reaction engineering. The joint research,…
In the last 20 years, the interest in Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIF) has seen a rapid increase in interest in various fields, from medicine to catalysis. ZIFs are a subclass of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)…
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in heterogeneous photocatalysis using more environmentally friendly organic semiconductors, such as graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4). g-C3N4 stands out as a…
Achieving high durability of the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell catalysts remains a major challenge. While most of the research focuses on the active phase, carbon support remains overlooked. In this…
Photoelectrochemical water splitting is regarded as the feasible route for the production of green hydrogen. Silicon is one of the most convenient photocathodes for hydrogen evolution reaction, however, it rapidly…
Coiled-coil protein origami (CCPO) uses modular coiled-coil (CC) building blocks and topological principles to design polyhedral structures distinct from natural globular proteins. The desired shape is defined through…
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells are one of the low-carbon mobility technologies of the future. The use of platinum in catalysts represents a major cost and thus a barrier to wider commercialization of the…
