Накратко на български

Нови метални и полупроводникови материали се разработват за електрохимични процеси, като например създаването на по-ефективни катализатори за производство на водород. Тези разработки помагат за подобряване на сензорите, почистването на водите от органични замърсители и работата на термоелектричните устройства.

Multiscaled Smart Metallic and Semiconductor Electrodes for Electrochemical Processing and Devices

The main scientific objectives of SMARTELECTRODES project were focused on the elaboration of advanced systems, which play significant roles in several important electrochemical/electrophysical applications such as catalysis/electrocatalysis, sensoring, thermoelectrics, electrowinning, electrochemical machining and electrospark alloying. Namely, new metallic and semiconductor materials were produced based on: I. chalcogenides; II. iron group metals; III. “technological” electrodes New materials and smart applications were elaborated based on: - Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) belongs to a class of materials called transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and it acts as an excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst in acidic media. It accelerates the Volmer reaction in the hydrogen evolution process, because H+-ions are readily adsorbed onto the active sites of MoS2. Therefore, in order to create efficient catalytic electrodes, the catalyst has to be dispersed on a large surface area, which was achieved in our project (Fig. 1). - Electrochemical assembly of superlattice structures of (Bi2)m(Bi2Te3)n series composed of bismuth telluride quintuples and bismuth biatomic layers with variable and controlled ratio of the both components was developed (Fig. 2) - Fenton reaction is a process that uses iron and hydrogen peroxide to degrade organic pollutants in water, including the azo dye methyl orange. In this process, the iron acts as a catalyst to increase the reactivity of hydrogen peroxide, breaking down the methyl orange into simpler, less harmful compounds. The effectiveness of the Fenton reaction was improved through the use of iron-copper (Fe/Cu) catalysts, which increase the surface area available for reaction and increase the rate of degradation (Fig. 3). - Fe-Ga alloys have become a promising material for micro- and nanofabrication technologies due to their unique combination of magnetic and mechanical properties, including high magnetostriction. The ability to change dimensions in response to external magnetic fields makes Fe-Ga alloys especially valuable. The synthesized new porous Fe-Ga films offer potential for the development of strain-engineered nanomaterials such as energy transducers or magnetoelectric composites (Fig. 4).

Цел на проекта

Demand of “smart” electrodes/systems has recently increased due to significant role of various devices/equipment based on these electrodes - urgent needs of present and forthcoming human activities. The multi- and interdisciplinary project SMARTELECTRODES is proposing elaboration of advanced systems covered under umbrella of “smart” electrodes which will be involved and play significant roles in several important electrochemical/electrophysical applications as catalysis/electrocatalysis, sensoring, thermoelectrics, electrowinning, electrochemical machining and electrospark alloying. The development of multiscaled (from nano- to macro-; from nanodot to volumized 3D-) metallic and semiconductor electrodes and integration of them into working systems/equipment is the main target of SMARTELECTRODES. The project is well-balanced, highly innovative R&D training network, which aims: To develop long lasting collaborations between four academic (Vilnius University, Lithuania; Institute of Applied Physics, Moldova; Northeastern University, USA; Research Institute for Physical Chemical Problems of BSU, Belarus) and two companies (JSC Topaz, Moldova and JSC “Electronics Treatment Technologies”, EPT, Lithuania); To develop new electrodes (based on chalcogenides, iron group metals and “technological” electrodes) by well-established institutions; To increase career perspectives of each participant that will lead to benefit of each member and partnership as a whole. Partners will be complimentary involved into realization of the proposed research. The research tasks will be implemented through multidisciplinary Work Packages devoted to the fabrication, adapting and investigation of electrodes/materials, also they include the activities towards training and management. Namely, advanced training will be provided to the seconded staff through well-integrated programs, including workshops and conferences.
