Translucentné luminiscenčné materály ako inovatívny substrát pre fotokatalytické vrstvy
Translucent luminescent ceramic materials as innovative substrate for photocatalytic layers
Program: PostdokGrant
Project leader: Mgr. Petrisková Patrícia, PhD.
Annotation: This project is focused on the preparation of translucent luminescent ceramic phosphors in the system Mg-Al-O-Nincluding the solid solution MgAlON with a structure of spinel on which TiO2 nanotubes will be prepared with the aimfor their application in photocatalytic waste water cleaning. In the frame of the work several compositions of MgAlONspinels will be studied including the influence of type and amount of lanthanide dopant on the luminescenceproperties of spinel. TiO2 nanotubes will be prepared by the anodic oxidation of Ti layer deposited on the surface ofspinel. The absorption spectrum of TiO2 nanotubes will be widened to the visible light region by doping with nitrogenwith the aim to increase the photocatalytic activity of nanotubes. Finally, the photocatalytic activity of nanotubes will be determined by the degration of Picloram herbicide pollutant.
Duration: 1.7.2024 – 31.12.2025
