About us
The Technical Catalysis Group (Tech-Cat) is an interdisciplinary research group operating at the Faculty of Chemistry, focused on the design, synthesis, characterization, and practical application of modern catalytic systems. The group’s activities combine basic science with an engineering approach, focused on implementing solutions relevant to the chemical, energy, and environmental industries.
Our guidelines
Tech-Cat’s primary research areas include heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, the development of catalysts based on transition metals, metal oxides, and nanostructured materials, and the modification of catalytic surfaces to improve their activity, selectivity, and durability. Particular attention is paid to processes related to raw material transformation, energy conversion, sustainable chemistry, and reducing the environmental impact of chemical processes.
Activities
The Tech-Cat group conducts research on the kinetics and mechanisms of catalytic reactions, utilizing modern analytical and spectroscopic techniques, as well as process modeling and simulation tools. Another important element of the team’s activities is the scaling of catalytic processes and collaboration with industry in the development and optimization of technologies.
Mission
The Technical Catalysis Group actively participates in national and international research projects, educates undergraduate and graduate students, and supports knowledge transfer and innovation. The team’s mission is to develop modern technical catalysis as a key element of sustainable chemistry and modern industrial technologies.
