Annotation

Glass surface is the poorly explored area, but it is closely related to its mechanical and chemical properties. The work will focus to the preparation of model glass surfaces, their characterization and modifications with ionising radiation and to the interaction of the surface with water.

Annotation

The electrochemical activity of silicon in the anode of Li all-solid-state batteries (ASSB) will be measured. Al and Al₂O₃ components will be added to the silicon in various ratios to study and evaluate how they influence the activity of the silicon anode. The optimal ratio of the Al/Al₂O₃ content in the silicon anode will be determined to achieve the highest capacity and performance of the battery. Electrospinning technology will be used in the preparation of micro/nanofibers which will be pressed to form the composite materials of the anodes. Possible industrial applications will be identified and potential results will be patented.

Annotation

The glass samples will be melted from recycled culets and shaped into different final forms. Modifications of glass forms and function will be studied. Different glass forms, such as micro/nanofibers for glass textile mats, artistic and decorative glass, optical glass, and filaments with micro/nano particles and fibers for 3D printing will be produced using the addition of coloring lanthanoids in combination with electrospinning technology. The new functions of the glass will be measured and evaluated. Possible industrial applications will be identified and potential results will be patented.
