Abstract:

The prospects for self-powered, electrically stimulated devices are enormous as the number of patients requiring pacemaker or neurostimulator implantation continues to grow. One of the main challenges in these devices is the power supply. Developing soft self-powered devices could pave the way to more accessible treatment of neurodegenerative and cardiac diseases. It may also allow for electric power-triggered (on-off) implantable drug delivery systems. Such devices may be made with stimuli-responsive soft materials, which lead to groundbreaking technological advances in sensors, actuators, and generators and may impact personalized medical devices.

A fascinating and rapidly growing research is charge generation using soft and stretchable materials and devices. They can convert different energy sources into electricity while complying with various surfaces and shapes. Charge generation from soft materials is particularly interesting, especially when conventional rigid energy generators can't be used, such as in untethered soft robots, wearable electronics, and biomedical implants.

This project aims to develop soft stimuli-responsive materials and devices that convert different forms of energy, including mechanical, thermal, and magnetic energy, into electricity. A soft charge generator consists of a stimuli-responsive soft material placed on interdigitated electrodes or between two compliant electrodes whose function is to collect the generated charge. Different kinds of soft materials, including magnetic elastomers, dielectric elastomers, magnetoelectric elastomers, ionogels, and magnetic ionogels, will be developed. They will be processed in functional devices, and their ability to generate charges due to mechanical, thermal, or magnetic stress will be evaluated and optimized.

Thus, we propose: a) to develop and investigate soft magnetic elastic devices that use electromagnetic induction to generate electricity from mechanical and thermal stress;

b) to develop and investigate high dielectric permittivity elastomers and their composites with soft magnetic nanoparticles regarding the possibility of converting mechanical and magnetic energy into electricity; and c) to synthesize ionogels and magnetic ionogels based on polyzwitterions and investigate their ability to generate charge when mechanically, thermally, and magnetically stressed.

Combining complementary groups' expertise will ensure a more comprehensive understanding of dielectric, piezoelectric, magnetic, and ionogel materials, which will significantly contribute to obtaining stimuli-responsive soft and stretchable materials and devices that generate charge.

Abstract:

Tartaric acid, 4-hydroxymandelic acid and 3-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)-L-alanine are organic compounds which upon polymerization under controlled conditions leads to formation of acidic polymers. Such multifunctionalyzed polymers are of interest due to their ability to coordinate to different metals and to form cross-linked frameworks. The role of the type of metal ion, the presence or absence of the solvent, the type of solvent and temperature, in the synthesis of these compounds will be identified. Due to the moderate solubility of chosen polymers the mechanochemistry (ball milling) and solvothermal methods will be used for their synthesis.

The formation of new complexes will be determined firstly by IR and XPS spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), TEM, SEM/EDX measurements and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Moreover, it will be attempted to get single crystals good enough for X-Ray diffraction. Also, a full theoretical investigation will be done for the obtained complexes to have a better understanding of the structure - properties relationship. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and thermal conductivity of new complexes will be studied and compared with data obtained for non-complexed polymers.

These new complexes present interesting physical and chemical properties due to the presence of metal ions and the structure of the polymer like good thermal conductivity, elasticity, tunable porosity with further various applications.

Abstract:

Supercapacitors (SCs) are known as promising energy storage devices. Electrodes are key components in producing SCs, and the strategies for selecting the right

electrodes play a decisive role in their specific power and energy storage performance; thus, an ideal electrode material should have tuning properties in terms of size,

shape, defects, porosity, high charge mobility and interface phenomena. The project’s general objective is to develop new nanocomposites based on 2D-carbon

structures and metal oxide or metal sulfide semiconductors by controlling and adjusting their shape, defects, interface phenomena, and electric properties as materials

for all-solid-state SCs. The target of the newly developed SCs devices is to function at voltages higher than 3 V.

Abstract:

Water is the source of life and an essential resource for human survival. With fast socio-economic development and increasing population across the world, water environment crisis has drawn widespread concern for humanity nowadays. An improvement of water supply and sanitation, and a better management of water resources, especially in terms of water reuse, can greatly contribute to poverty reduction and can boost economic growth in low-income countries. Responding to these requirements the need of adopting new environmentally friendly technologies is necessary. Taking into account the state of the art in the field and the scientific results obtained in the last years by our research team, in this project we intend to develop photoactive ultrafiltration PVDF membranes modified with ZnO-MFe2O4 for water decontamination using advanced oxidation and separation processes. The achievement of the general objective involves the fulfillment of the following specific objectives: O1. Obtaining ZnO-MFe2O4 heterostructures with enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation; and O2. Development of PVDF membranes modified with ZnO-MFe2O4 heterostructures for water decontamination using advanced oxidation and separation processes. For the realization of the project it is envisaged the use of appropriate infrastructure and a multidisciplinary young team. The results of the project will be disseminate by scientific publications-communications and project web-site.

Abstract:

The present project aims to develop new permanent magnets with lower cost and high performance in two ways:

1. By obtaining new intermetallic compounds of R-M-A and R-M type (R = Y and rare earth, M = transition metal 3d, A = metalloid, carbon or nitrogen), having low critical rare earth content, high anisotropy and high saturation magnetization. We start from known systems, aiming to improve the coercivity of the samples through a very good control of the composition and of the microstructure. Also, we aim to find new phases with high magnetization, high anisotropy and high Curie temperature, by theoretical exploration of the phase diagrams and by structural optimization. In particular, due to the high interest in obtaining permanent magnets with low critical elements (Dy, Nd, Pr) content, we intend to develop a compound in which Ce (or possibly Y, La) will replace all or part of these critical elements, keeping a Curie temperature over 600 Celsius, residual magnetization over 10 kG and coercivity over 10 kOe.

2. By producing new hard magnetic phases without rare earth content, with high intrinsic coercivity, high magnetization and performant energy product, based on Mn-Bi and Mn-Al alloys, where we have obtained promising results. We propose the increase of anisotropy of the 3d alloys by inducing a tetragonal distortion of the structure, obtained by addition of interstitial N, C, B or by additions of other d transition elements. The aim is to obtain compounds with high anisotropy and exchange induced d-d positive interactions, crucial for obtaining a high coercivity, in order to build rare-earth free permanent magnets with competitive performances.

The main goal of the project is to elaborate a laboratory technology and obtaining an experimental model of sintered magnetic core with imposed functional characteristics, obtained by spark plasma sintering of pseudo core-shell/core-shell powder elaborated in the project. The pseudo core-shell powder are formed by large Fe particles that are covered by thin layer of nanometric soft magnetic ferrite particles. The pseudo core-shell powder will be obtained according to the patent pending (mixture of large Fe particles covered by ferrite nanoparticles + heat treatments) and the core-shell powder will be obtained by chemical method. By spark plasma sintering will be synthesized composite compacts having a structure of large ferromagnetic particles (high magnetic density) covered by a layer of ferrites, which will determinate high electrical resistivity of the magnetic core and low magnetic losses by eddy currents. The correlation between the magnetic and electrical characteristics as a function of pseudo-core shell powder characteristics and spark plasma sintering parameters for optimising the process. At the end, among the best composite magnetic material obtained will be realise an experimental model of magnetic core with imposed functional characteristics and will be elaborate the documentation for the laboratory technology for obtaining magnetic cores. The composite magnetic cores elaborated in this way could be used in medium and high frequencies having superior magnetic characteristics as compared to the ferrites.

Abstract:

Diluted magnetic oxides (DMO) are expected to play an important role in interdisciplinary materials science and future electronics because charge and spin degree of freedom coexist into single material. The control of the high temperature ferromagnetism and of the spin and charge transport in DMO micro- and nanostructures represent a necessary condition for the achievement and miniaturization of spintronic devices which could operate at and above the ambient temperature. The project involves a competitive and complementary partnership between 2 Technical Universities and 4 National R&D Institutes and has the main goal to obtain top research results based on the experimental and theoretical researches which will be performed on micro- and nanostructured semiconducting ferromagnetic oxide systems synthesized by innovating methods. By means of that, it will be answered to the still controversial problems in the fundamental research referring to the effects induced by the low dimensionality, magnetic ions doping degree and by the synthesis methods on the propitious characteristics necessarily to get the high temperature ferromagnetism in II-VI oxide semiconductors.

Abstract:

Zirconium silicates occur in nature as mineral zircon, ZrSiO4, which is one of the oldest naturally occurring gemstones in the world and is separated from sand by electrostatic and electromagnetic methods. The accumulation of radiation damage (i.e., due to the presence of uranium or thorium) produces over years the changes of physical and mechanical properties of zircon gemstones, namely a considerable volume expansion (18%), the polymerization of [SiO4] structural units and a decrease in Zr coordination from 8 to about 7. We note that some important products such as the zircon pigments cannot be made from the zircon mineral itself. The natural zircon is processed to produce zirconium dioxide, which is then reconverted to zircon that in the presence of some metal ions will give the colour of the pigment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a fast and efficient method to synthesize zircon of high purity.

In this project, three main goals will be pursued: i. the development of a rapid and effective route to synthesize different types of zirconium silicates (glasses, vitroceramics, ceramics and pigments); ii. the investigation of the effects of the synthesis route, sintering temperature and doping nature on the zirconium phase in the evolutions of the microstructure of the colored zircon pigments and iii. the elaboration of theories that offer answers concerning the advanced crystallinities and desired crystalline phases that give the color intensity to the rose zircon (pink)
