Academic CentreInfluence of various radiation types on the behaviour of advanced functional ceramic material for future thermonuclear fusion power plants (1.1.1.2/VIAA/4/20/614)
The aim of the project is to analyse and compare the properties of lithium orthosilicate mini-beads with different amounts of lithium metatitanate under different types of radiation (photons, high-energy accelerated ions and thermal neutrons) in order to separately simulate radiation-induced fusion reactor operating conditions.
Patterned hybrid multilayer films for optical sensors (1.1.1.2/VIAA/4/20/615)
The aim of the project is to create new technologies and equipment that allow the production and demonstration of sensor prototypes for the detection of biological substances based on plasmonic hybrid structures, utilising the newest findings and research experience in creating nanostructured arrays, nanoparticles orders, surface designs, and self-organising mechanisms.
Optimisation of solid-electrolyte interphase layer of hybrid carbon nanotube-Bi₂Se₃ anode electrodes for improved performance of Li-ion batteries (1.1.1.2/VIAA/4/20/694)
Project goal: to study the formation of a solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer on hybrid CNT-Bi₂Se₃ anode electrodes and to obtain an optimal SEI (both naturally grown and artificially based on an artificial polymer) that provides a stable and long Li-ion battery life.
