The SMARTER meeting has long been a key platform for scientists working in computation, diffraction, magnetic resonance, and other spectroscopic techniques, fostering the development of SMARTER approaches to optimally integrate multiple techniques for the structural elucidation of complex inorganic, organic, and biological materials. In 2024, the meeting returned to Aveiro, Portugal, between September 22-25, continuing […]
Mariya has been awarded the Karl Preise Award for her paper, “Recent Achievements in Designing Zeolite Catalysts,” published in Chemické Listy 117 (2023) 407-418. Established in 1997 by the Czech Chemical Society, the Karl Preise Award recognizes the best paper published in Chemické Listy each year. Named after Professor Karel Preise (1846–1916) – a long-time […]
Mariya has attended the International Symposium on Zeolites and MicroPorous Crystals 2024 on July 21-25 in Osaka, Japan.The symposium brought together >350 participants from all over the world to promote the fundamental and applied studies on microporous, mesoporous, and layered materials. In her talk, Mariya presented previously unattainable shape-selective Sn-zeolites created by iADOR synthesis approach […]
The SPECTROCAT 2024 symposium, titled “Advanced Spectroscopies and Operando Characterizations for Catalysis,” brought together researchers specializing in spectroscopic characterization and microscopic imaging of catalytic systems. The event took place in the beautiful city of Caen from July 10th to 12th, 2024. The symposium provided a unique platform to present and discuss the latest advancements and […]
The 18th International Congress on Catalysis (ICC 2024) brought together over 2,200 attendees from around the world to discuss the latest advancements in catalytic science. Held in Lyon from July 14th to 19th, the congress featured a comprehensive program, including 5 plenary lectures, 25 keynote addresses, 510 long and short oral presentations, 1,500 posters, panel […]
As every year in May, School of Catalysis has gathered young researchers, esteemed scientists and industrial partners from the Czech Republic, Spain, Italy and other countries in the beautiful Liblice castle. The latest discoveries were shared during the scientific sessions and the informal gatherings at fire. Our group has actively contributed to the School with […]
On 17-19 April 2024, we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Mariana Sardo and Dr. Luís Mafra from the University of Aveiro. Dr. Sardo, an expert in high-resolution solid-state NMR spectroscopy, is the coordinator of the EU-funded “PANACEA” project, which aims to make cutting-edge NMR facilities more accessible to the European chemical community. In her […]
The International Zeolitic Materials School brought together young researchers with interest in the synthesis, characterization and application of zeolitic and related porous materials. The school has been held in Zamora during April 10th- 12th, having a total of 52 participants coming from institutions of 10 different countries. The school has consisted of 10 invited conferences, […]
The team of co-authors from five different countries, has uncovered a revolutionary new design concept for catalysts used in the industrially crucial Methanol-to-Hydrocarbon process, enabling the production of high-demand chemical commodities from source-abundant methanol. A remarkable 14-fold increase in the catalyst’s lifetime was achieved by employing liquid gallium as a promoter, which molecular-level effects on […]
