Simple methods for the synthesis of future, unconventional plasmonic materials with mono-atom and bimetallic centers for sustainable hydrogen production and carbon dioxide reduction

„Successfully synthesized and stabilized 90 quantum single-atom sites on a tailored support, achieving ultra-high dispersion and quantum-confined electronic states. Demonstrated photoluminescence blue shift indicative of discrete energy levels, opening pathways for quantum sensing and advanced catalytic applications.”

Events


The funding opportunities provided by the National Science Centre (NCN) and the POLONIZ BIS programme enabled active participation in a broad range of scientific conferences and international research events, supporting the dissemination of my research achievements and facilitating direct interactions with experts from the global scientific community. Through invited oral presentations, poster presentations, and scientific discussions, I presented research on single-atom catalysts, plasmonic photocatalysts, quantum-driven energy conversion, selective catalytic transformations, and advanced energy technologies.

  • At the 57th National Catalytic Colloquium (Kraków, Poland, 2025)
    I presented multiple contributions, including the posters „Single-Site Pd Innovation: Redefining Hydrogen Generation Efficiency Compared to Pt” and „Tailoring Chemical Reactions: Regioselective Catalysis with Platinum SAC Innovation”, as well as an oral presentation entitled „Single-Atom Quantum-Driven Energy Conversion: Photochemical and Industrial Approaches to Value-Added Products”. These contributions enabled scientific exchange with researchers working in catalysis, reaction engineering, and advanced materials chemistry, strengthening national and international visibility of my research programme.
  • At the 16th European Congress on Catalysis (EuropaCat 2025, Trondheim, Norway), I presented the research topic „Single-Atom Platinum Catalysts Drive Regioselective and Chemoselective Functionalization of Sterically Hindered Substrates”. Participation in this major European catalysis conference provided opportunities to discuss research findings with internationally recognized scientists and establish new scientific contacts in the catalysis community.
  • Participation in the 9th International Conference on Semiconductor Photochemistry (SP9, Madrid, Spain, 2025) provided an opportunity to present and discuss the concept of Single-Atom Quantum materials and their role in future photocatalytic and energy-conversion technologies. This event strengthened interactions with researchers in semiconductor photochemistry, quantum materials, and light-driven catalytic processes.
  • During PSI Operando Day 2025 at the Paul Scherrer Institute (Switzerland), I presented multiple research contributions, including „Single-Atom Quantum-Driven Energy Conversion: Photochemical and Industrial Approaches to Value-Added Products”, „Single-Site Pd Innovation: Redefining Hydrogen Generation Efficiency Compared to Pt”, and „Single-Atom Platinum Catalysts Drive Regioselective and Chemoselective Functionalization of Sterically Hindered Substrates”. The event provided valuable opportunities to interact with experts in operando characterization, synchrotron-based techniques, and advanced catalytic materials, supporting future collaborations involving advanced characterization approaches.
  • At the Science Day 2025 (Kraków, Poland), I presented „Single-Site SAC Innovation: Redefining Future Energy”, highlighting the potential of single-atom catalyst technologies for sustainable energy applications. The event promoted interaction with the broader scientific community and strengthened dissemination of research beyond specialized catalysis audiences.
