Zero-excess solid-state lithium batteries
Bezanódové tuholátkové lítiové batérie
| Duration: |
1.7.2023 - 31.12.2026 |
| Program: |
SRDA |
| Project leader: |
Dr. rer. nat. Šiffalovič Peter DrSc. |
| Annotation: | The central hypothesis of ZERO project is that by real -time
monitoring of Li deposition rate, wetting and/or alloying, and mechanical stress at the SSE/CC interface, we can
optimize and tailor SSBs providing higher capacity and cycling lifetime. This can be achieved by controlling
charge/discharge currents, appropriate alloy-forming interlayers, and managing internal stresses by external loads.
The main aim of ZERO project is to develop optimal alloy-forming interlayers and charging strategies to achieve the high capacity and cycling lifetime of ZESSBs. This will be enabled and connected with the developing and/or
updating methodologies that will facilitate experimental monitoring and a better conceptual understanding of the
growth phenomena involved in the formation of the Li anode in ZESSBs. To this end, we will develop novel
laboratory and synchrotron techniques to explore ZESSB-related phenomena under in operando conditions. |
Nanoengineered Trojan hybrid for site-responsive phototherapy of recurrent glioblastomas
Fototerapia rekurentných glioblastómov s nádorovo špecifickým trójskym hybridom optimalizovaným na nano-úrovni
| Duration: |
1.9.2024 - 30.6.2028 |
| Program: |
SRDA |
| Project leader: |
Mgr. Hvizdošová Annušová Adriana PhD. |
| Annotation: | The NanoGlow project aims to develop i) functional “Trojan horse” hydrogels with embedded photothermal
nanoparticle conjugates, ii) validated in vitro and iii) complemented with state-of-the-art structural and chemical
mapping at the nanoscale. Photothermal, pH-responsive MoOx nanoparticles will be conjugated with tumor-homing RGD peptides and embedded in nontoxic, biodegradable poly-(2-oxazoline)- and bio-sourced Tulipalin A-based
matrices. Near-field nanoscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy Force Spectroscopy, and Confocal Raman Microscopy
of nanoconjugate-hydrogel superstructures and in vitro samples will characterize nanoscale related phenomena
observable at the macroscale. NanoGlow’s unique nano-to-macro approach will provide a basis for the application
of the proposed hybrid structures in the fight against complex and hard-to-treat glioblastomas. |
Optimizing Perovskite Films for Highly Efficient and Stable Photovoltaics

| Annotation: | The steadily increasing energy consumption calls for renewable technologies that could substitute environmentally detrimental and costly fossil fuels. These technologies must satisfy environmental, economic, and social feasibility criteria. Perovskite-based solar modules show the ability to meet these fundamental requirements. Recently, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of a single-junction solar cell based on halide perovskite has reached 25.7 % , and the perovskite/silicon tandems over 33 % , greatly outperforming the silicon solar cells efficiencies. Further efficiency improvement is prevented by defects that cause non-radiative recombinations – either through trap-assisted recombination in the active layer or via carrier recombination at the perovskite/transport layer interfaces. This proposal focuses on the defects in halide perovskite and related phenomena that are critical in limiting performance in photovoltaic applications. Furthermore, it aims to develop effective passivation routes to achieve further performance advances. Its innovation potential lies in increasing the efficiency of future photovoltaic applications via addressed investigation of the non-radiative traps at the grain boundary surfaces and interfaces and their efficient passivation. |
