The laboratory's primary research interests focus on the synthesis, characterization (using chemical and physical analytical methods), and quantum-chemical and theoretical study of catalytic materials.
Techniques such as co-precipitation, sol-gel synthesis, mechanochemical processing, and thermal treatment are successfully employed for catalyst synthesis.
The laboratory is equipped with instrumentation for material characterization using M?ssbauer spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, and X-ray diffraction.
Theoretical research aims to investigate processes occurring on solid surfaces at the atomic level using the methods of theoretical and computational chemistry.
A particular area of ??interest is the systematic analysis of processes involved in heterogeneous catalysis, utilizing Density Functional Theory (DFT) and other methods.
Research activities in the laboratory aim to establish the relationships between the synthesis method, the electronic, crystal, and magnetic structures, and the catalytic properties and behavior of the materials.
