The Seminars at the Department of Physical and Macromolecular Chemistry are back.
The Seminars will be led by guest speakers, renowned scientists from both domestic and foreign institutions, as well as the Department's Ph.D. and Master's students, all presenting unique and engaging topics.
The lectures take place on Wednesdays at 14:00 in lecture room CH3 located in the building of Chemical departments (Hlavova 8, Praha 2).
Upcoming seminars
Functional Two-Dimensional Materials for Advanced Electrochemical Devices
The 11th Micromachines (MDPI) Webinar, chaired by Dr. Rui Gao (Sustainable Electrochemical Systems Lab, Charles University), explores how advanced two-dimensional materials and molecular design could shape electrochemical technologies, from energy storage and supercapacitors to electrochemical actuators and microscale devices. Speakers …
Computational Heterogeneous Catalysis in an Innovation Context: Cases of Platinum-based and Zeolite Catalysts
Heterogeneous catalysts are key players in the current energy transition. The structure of their active sites and the mechanisms they catalyze remain the subject of intense debate. Atomic-scale calculations can help decipher these aspects when combined with relevant characterization techniques …
Emissions Control Catalysis: the past, present and future
Emissions control catalysis is one of the most quietly transformative technologies of the modern era. In just a few decades, catalytic converters have cut toxic pollutants from vehicles and engines by more than 95%, turning once‑polluted cities into breathable environments …
Protein-protein pair potentials as a benchmark for protein charge prediction
Protein-protein interactions in solution are often dominated by electrostatics, yet the underlying protein charge is remarkably hard to pin down. Direct experimental methods require complex setups and report only a model-dependent effective charge, so computational prediction methods are commonly used …
