\u201cI focused primarily on systems with anchored metal atoms for single-atom catalysis. I made use of the infrastructure at LIKAT, which enables reactions under high pressure. This was a new experience for me as we do not have such equipment at CATRIN,\u201d said Hrub\u00fd. Although he initially went to Rostock with the plan to test materials prepared at CATRIN, he later began synthesizing additional single-atom catalysts. \u201cI prepared a new material with iron atoms that showed promising activity, but it will need to be further optimized to improve its stability. It\u2019s a long-term effort, but I hope that a joint publication will emerge from the project,\u201d explained the doctoral student.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”7024,7025,7026,7027,7028″ image_grid_loading=”lazy-load” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”7″ load_in_animation=”fade_in”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Besides the opportunity to work with unique infrastructure, he sees a huge benefit in establishing collaboration not only with Jagadeesh Rajenahally\u2014who is among the global leaders in the field\u2014but also with other colleagues. He also found it inspiring to observe a different approach to catalysis research that responds directly to the needs of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.<\/p>\n
\u201cOften, the catalysts are custom-designed for specific reactions. Their approach is somewhat different, mostly based on the pyrolysis of organic molecules on a removable porous matrix. Then they conduct a careful screening of conditions and, thanks to sophisticated equipment, are capable of running up to eight high-pressure reactions simultaneously. The aim is to obtain the required information as quickly as possible; therefore, after analyzing the reaction mixture, everything becomes waste, including the tested catalyst. I often heard the saying there that chemical research produces two things\u2014results and waste. That was also very educational and inspiring for me,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very pleased that the TECHSCALE project from the Johannes Amos Comenius Operational Programme enabled another student from Palack\u00fd University Olomouc to gain valuable experience abroad, acquire new skills, bring back valuable knowledge, establish connections with a prestigious institution, and contribute to strengthening international cooperation. I firmly believe that supporting the research and education of the young generation is one of the key benefits of this programme for the future development of the Czech Republic. I would also like to emphasize that the demanding interdisciplinary research with which we are pushing technologies beyond the nanoscale cannot be conducted in isolation. On the contrary, it is broad collaboration that allows us to progress more quickly and efficiently,\u201d adds the student\u2019s supervisor, Professor Michal Otyepka.<\/p>\n
The young researcher now faces the completion of his academic duties and the defence of his dissertation. After that, however, he would like to continue the collaboration with his German colleagues and, as part of the TECHSCALE project\u2019s mobility programme, return to work in their laboratories.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
