PROJECT#1

TITLE: Two-Dimensional (2D) Metal Oxides for Energy Storage & Conversion Applications

The ever-increasing demand for clean and sustainable energy in our modern society has necessitated the search for functional nanomaterials with superior performance. In this regard, Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal oxides have attracted a great deal of attention due to their outstanding physico/chemical properties. Inspired by the pioneering works in this novel field, we would like to investigate the performance of these 2D nanostructures in energy-related applications.

PROJECT#2

TITLE: 3D Printing of Functional Nanostructures Based on Additive-Free Inks

The ability to formulate functional inks of nanomaterials with desired rheological features is considered as a crucial step toward the realization of various Nano-based technologies. Unfortunately, in developing the functional inks, additives and binders are used to manipulate the rheological properties which consequently hinders the full utilization of active nanomaterials. As a result, currently, the search for additive-free inks is relentlessly pursuing.  In this regard, we would like to design and develop novel inks for the on-demand applications.

NanoGe Fall Meeting in Berlin, 2019

Naimeh Naseri2019-09-23T14:30:29+00:00
Reduce your carbon footprint, come by train!!

nanoGe Fall Meeting would like to encourage travel sustainability among their attendees and would like to contribute to reduce the carbon footprint impact in the planet.  As you know, there are several ways to combat climate change by reducing your carbon footprint: you can recycle, use less electricity and use public transportation. We would like to make our small contribution to fight global warming and reward those using the train (instead of plane) to attend the Conference. For more information visit here.

Autoclave

Naimeh Naseri2019-01-27T13:51:44+00:00

An autoclave is a pressure chamber used to carry out industrial processes requiring elevated temperature and pressure different from ambient air pressure. Autoclaves are used in medical applications to perform sterilization. A medical autoclave is a device that uses steam to sterilize equipment and other objects. This means that all bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores are inactivated. Generally, autoclaving happens at the typical 134 °C for three minutes or 121 °C for 15 minutes.
The capacity of our autoclave is 10 litters and it can reaches to 121.5 °C and 2.1 bar.
