Theoretical and Experimental Study of TransItion Metal Oxyhydride NanomaterIals for supErconductivity and photocatalysiS - TESTIMONIES

Project summary

During the last three decades it was established that theoretical modelling plays an important role not only in fundamental research, but also has strong impact on engineering disciplines and industrial problems. The main focus of the project is multiscale modelling of transition metal oxyhydrides - emerging class of materials - combined with experimental verification of the theoretically predicted material designs and estimate applications in superconductivity, energy saving, and photocatalysis for breakdown of contaminants in water. This is a multidisciplinary project combining expertize of specialists in materials science, environmental technologies, physicists, chemists, and engineers. The consortium consists of experts from three education- and basic research-oriented Institutions, an applied research Institution, and two SMEs. It will form a platform for enhancing the ongoing collaboration, provide training of young scientists, exchange of infrastructure, new ideas, and competenc
