Akademickie Centrum Materiałów i Nanotechnologii AGH zaprasza na seminarium, które odbędzie się 29 stycznia 2015 r. o godz. 15.00.

 

Dr Dorota Koziej (ETH Zurich, Szwajcaria) wygłosi referat pt. „Spotlights at the crystallization of nanoparticles: from in-situ phase transition to milliseconds synthesis in picoliter droplets”.

 

Miejsce: ul. Kawiory 30, budynek D-16, w Sala Audytoryjna ACMiN (s.1.02A).

 

Nanoparticles are essential building blocks for many energy-related applications.^[1-3] We have focused on nanoparticles’ synthesis in solution since this approach is not limited to one particular class of materials. Thus, it gives us flexibility to tailor their composition and properties in respect to the application, for examples in Li-ion batteries^[2] or gas sensors.^[3] However, the formidable challenge for the intensification of crystallization processes in solution is reduction of reaction time and energy consumption without compromising the control over the nanoparticles’ properties. In this talk, I will present our recent efforts to: (a) increase the information content from in-situ X-ray synchrotron experiments to establish predictable and efficient synthesis strategies^[3-4] and (b) design a new on-chip reactors to maximize the speed of reactions and minimize the energy consumption.^[5-6]
