Project leader: Mgr. Labancová Eva PhD.
Annotation:Current crop protection in EU agriculture is heavily reliant on chemical pesticides to suppress weeds, pests and pathogens. In view of the serious health and environmental consequences, European public authorities, consumers, and society at large are demanding drastically reduced use of chemical pesticides, in the context of a production of safe, high-quality and affordable food. Furthermore, farmers are calling for research and innovation solutions to protect crops with non-chemical means while maintaining a viable farm economy. A change of direction and paradigm is needed to foster this transition, emphasizing preventive crop protection based on agroecological practices that to prevent pest outbreaks and infestations. The proposed Cost Action T0P-AGRI-Network targets the transition “Towards zer0 Pesticide AGRIculture”, aiming at preparing the future of an agriculture free of synthetic pesticides and of nature-derived pesticides that negatively impact environment and human health. T0P-AGRI-Network tackles this challenge by create and organize a wide research community with the aim to form a European leading network with high and transdisciplinary expertise around the common objective of pesticide-free agriculture, with a particular focus on young scientists. To enable a redesign of the food system as a whole, T0P-AGRI-Network will promote a concerted mobilization of scientists, farmers, processing industries, public authorities and consumers by associating them closely with the activities that will be carried out in the Cost Action.

Annotation:E-NICHE will help unify the different branches of chemical ecology (CE) by bringing together researchers who study natural compounds that can act as semiochemicals (i.e., communication signals). At present, collaborations among these researchers are limited because CE is an extremely fragmented field. E-NICHE will foster partnerships between (a) scientists studying aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems; (b) natural products chemists, biochemists, and ecologists; (c) vertebrate biologists and entomologists; (d) plant and animal biologists; (e) zoologists and molecular biologists; and (f) neurobiologists and microbiologists. Their interactions will generate original ideas and perspectives while simultaneously meeting societal needs, a challenge that involves the creation of new chemical formulations, novel molecules, and innovative applications for natural compounds. This work will be nourished by a deeper understanding of the living world through the lens of chemical mediation, the main system of biological communication. It will also aim to prevent the loss of the chemical biodiversity found in nature, under threat because of global changes. Consequently, E-NICHE’s overarching objective is to establish a strong, extended European CE network that catalyses international, interdisciplinary, and cross-sectoral exchanges with a view to building knowledge and intergenerational sustainable development solutions. Via the new network created by E-NICHE, researchers will broaden their breadth of knowledge, define new research directions, and transform their discoveries into pioneering solutions.

Annotation:Photocatalytic activity on the surface of nanoparticles dispersed in polluted wastewater and irradiated with sunlight depends on their ability to generate electron-hole pairs and free hydroxyl and oxygen radicals capable of secondary reactions. ZnO nanoparticles with a strong redox ability can only perform under UV irradiation. The solution to this problem lies in heterojunction driven by visible light to enhance photocatalytic efficiency by broadening the absorption spectral range while suppressing electron hole recombination. The nanocomposites will be prepared by coupling a homogeneous precipitation method with hydrothermal techniques and doped with various elements. The project provides a platform for close interdisciplinary research between the Institute of Physics in Prague and the Institute of Chemistry in Bratislava leading to a more detailed understanding of the surface properties of semiconductor-based nanocomposites and its interaction in the aquatic environment in order to improve their photocatalytic properties demonstrated by photodegradation of dye methylene blue.

Project leader: Ing. Mičová Júlia PhD.
Annotation:The project proposes the possibility of eliminating drug residues from wastewater through photodegradation with the action of nanophotocatalysts. The idea of the project is preparation of original hybrid nanostructures of zinc oxide as photocatalysts, applicable in visible light. Hybrid oxides will be prepared by the method of hydrothermal growth at Institute of Chemistry SAS. The nucleation centers will be p-type and the shell will be n-type semiconductors. Nanoparticles will be treated with plasma and structurally characterized by advanced methods of structural analysis (SEM, PL, EPR and XPS) at the Institute of Physics CAS. With the help of plasma, we will influence the properties of the surface, such as adsorption of molecules, surface electronic states and defects, charge, electrokinetic potential, etc. The aim of the project is to elucidate the influence of surface conditions, lighting, magnetic field and environment on photocatalytic effects in newly prepared nanocomposites, including photogenerated electron-hole effects, spin-polarized band structures and charge transfer in heterostructures. The photodegradation process will be studied at the Institute for Light and Matter in Lyon (Institut Lumière Matière) using advanced characterization methods. In particular, photoconductivity measurements will be performed using time-resolved microwave conductivity setups. In this way, it is possible to measure the lifetime of the charge carriers and thus also the ability of photocatalysts to separate and transport charges to their surfaces. They will also perform luminescence measurements under a confocal microscope and the measurement of cathodoluminescence will make it possible to verify the homogeneity of the particles and quantify possible defects. The prepared nanocomposites with the greatest potential of photocatalytic efficiency activated by visible light will be tested for the degradation of freely available drugs in an aqueous environment.
