In episode 6 of the Člankarnica podcast, Dr. Petra Utroša from the Department of Polymer Chemistry and Technology at the National Institute of Chemistry explains how photoacids and photobases control pH in reactions. She discusses their study, which reveals that the chemical reactivity of these compounds doesn’t always align with their light absorption, an insight with significant implications for their use. The study was published in Chemistry – A European Journal: https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/chem.202400820.

V 5. epizodi podkasta Člankarnica nam dr. Gregor Žerjav in Matevž Roškarič, iz Odseka za anorgansko kemijo in kemijsko tehnologijo na Kemijskem inštitutu, razkrivata kako so s pomočjo Simplex metode znatno povečali specifično površino grafitnega ogljikovega nitrida (g-C3N4), kar je izboljšalo njegove fotokatalitične lastnosti in učinkovitost pri razgradnji organskih onesnaževal. Ta študija dokazuje, da lahko preprosti enostopenjski sintezni postopki bistveno izboljšajo zmogljivost okolju prijaznih polprevodnikov.
