Abstract:

The presence of septic surfaces in hospitals, buses and other public spaces can lead to infections with antibiotic resistant bacteria and is an ongoing public health problem. Therefore, this project aims to obtain and validate self-adhesive, elastic and complex membranes with variable self-disinfecting properties.

An important objective of this project is to retain in the country the researchers from the Diaspora and the engagement of the PhD students with a young dynamic team. The application proposed through this project continues the previous studies carried out over seven years that led to the development of electroconductive inks based on functionalized silver nanowires, prepared today for the technological transfer stage.

The inks developed by the “Electroconductive Smart Ink” team within the “Innovation Labs” program allowed the fabrication during this year of several demonstrators with unique applications in the paint, electronics and sensor industries as well as the publication of the scientific results in prestigious journals.

Abstract:

Quality drinking water is a desire of the modern world and therefore the purpose of extensive research. Chlorination is the last step in the treatment of drinking water, leading to a disinfected, quality product. The positive effect of disinfection is unfortunately doubled by the formation of reaction by-products (DBPs) that are often carcinogenic and harmful. A solution for reducing the amount of DBP is represented by the decrease in the concentration of dissolved organic carbon, which leads to a lower concentration of chlorinated carcinogenic compounds in drinking water. The use of biofiltration before chlorination is a solution both for reducing the concentration of carcinogenic chlorinated compounds and for adsorption/absorption of pesticides from water and heavy metal ions, depending on the biofilter construction.

A major problem of biofilters is their sensitivity to environmental factors such as water temperature and composition, the slow rate of development of the bacterial biofilm that consumes dissolved organic compounds (COD), and the relatively low flow of purified water.

In this project, with a multidisciplinary team, young and experienced, we propose the synthesis of a new type of substrate for biofilters. It is based on natural materials such as shells that have a large specific surface area, modified with hydroxyapatite to increase the growth rate of the biofilm due to the phosphorus contribution. Due to the special two-dimensional shape of the shells, their superstructure at the microscopic level and the open pores, the constructed biofilters will have a low-pressure drop. Furthermore, the value of the empty bed contact time (EBCT) parameter will be strongly increased compared to the substrates currently used, increasing the efficiency of biofiltration.

Abstract:

Our proposal (NANOCARBON+) is focused on a highly technologically relevant unifying topic: the exploitation of the recently demonstrated extreme properties of a specific class of carbon nanomaterials - nanostructured graphene, used in specific morphologies and compositional categories - towards the development of innovative technologies for essential eco-industrial areas (failure monitoring, pollutant detection/decontamination in air/water, green energy). The proposal is split in four composing projects, all of them aiming at exploring the use of these unique nanomaterials for the development of innovative and/or improved sensing devices in a range of applications with strong industrial impact.

The consortium behind this proposal has a good regional coverage and suitable research and development resources, both in terms of researchers and appropriate equipment. The consortium comprises of four National R&D Institutes and two Universities, distributed in three adminstrative regions.

The central objective of this complex proposal is an efficient integration of the scientific expertise and experimental capabilities, complementarities and synergies of the six consortium member organizations, towards augmenting their overall organizational performance.

The objectives of the proposal go well beyond the academic research; from the very begining of the execution, we aim at achieving a very good connection with SMEs and other industrial partners in order to understand market requirements and to be able to transfer suitable innovatibe technologies and further support the development of new products. Developing new technologies and services is one part of the expected output, contributing to the development of the partner's capabilities by opening new research areas; in addition, a special attention is devoted to the increase and development of the human resources involved in research. In this respect, the consortium does commit to creating 11 new research positions.

Abstract:

In the construction domain, the energy represents the key-point in achieving efficient buildings.

The project proposes the improvement or institutional performances between three universities and two research institutes for the revival of the research activities and transfer of knowledge between partners.

The 4 proposed projects, centred on the efficient energy buildings, are focused on two principal research directions: (i) use of smart facades with low-thermal transfer, actively integrated for the enhancement of internal comfort and possessing a passive control of energy (by using the solar energy) and (ii) smart energy efficiency through building automatization and solar energy collectors. The resulted system, the smart house, is conceived thus to minimize the input energy for maintenance.

The Project 1 has as main objective the determination of mechanical properties of cellular materials used as thermal insulations in smart façade systems, through mechanical compression, bending and toughness fracture testing of such cellular materials.

Project 2 is focused on obtaining, characterizing and testing of high-property materials used for smart facades as thermal insulation materials and as support for special property layers: photo-catalytic layers and with reduced absorption/reflexion of UV-VIS-IR radiation.

The Project 3 has as main objective the theoretical and experimental investigation of the implementation of the electric power distribution in direct current for individual households or in small communities (smart-grid), with renewable energy sources integration.

The scope of the Project 4 is to implement the knowledge and data resulted from projects no. 1-3 through a modular laboratory demonstrative application. The project will perform an integrated study on the influence of the facades and the energetic contribution to the internal comfort of the building by considering different façade systems and respectively by integrating a smart-grid energy system.

Abstract:

The HORESEC project supports intelligent specialization in the energy field through a holistic analysis of renewable energy sources impact on climate change and on each other, fulfilling the objectives of sustainable development as well as advanced and progressive knowledge. Accelerate integration of RES set a new world record regarding grid’s capacity to absorb intermittent energy, which is specific to renewable energy production, was driven by a fast reduction of related technologies expenses. Increased share of RES in energy production greatly complicates the operation of current systems requiring new long-term storage solutions, developed in the HORESEC project. It will be carried out on a pilot plant test solutions for dynamic adaptation of the system to increase RES share in the energy production, including long-term storage solutions. The objectives are: Establishing the main climatological and environmental parameters with impact on RES and reciprocally. By realizing the mathematical model of the analyzed factors evolution, will be identified the climatological, environmental and social indicators associated with the RES dynamics, which will be subsequently verified on the developed pilot installation; Efficiency of energy production through new technologies and algorithms to optimize the RES response by developing new methods and measurement models; By analyzing complex compounds of biofuels, will be defined a matrix of biofuels, which shall be tested on a pilot combustion plant and on a diesel engine with the aim of obtaining new patentable technologies. The use of biomass will take place in an integrated stream with the production and storage of hydrogen and methanisation and ultimately sustainable reduction of CO2 emissions; Finding innovative storage solutions for medium and long term; Demonstration of project feasibility through experimental determinations on a pilot plant, facilitating the acquisition of research results by the industrial environment.

Abstract:

In the context of the energy crisis, the project is aimed to design, build, test and implementation of highly efficient and low-cost p-type dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) standalone prototyping based only on copper, as a technically and economically credible alternative concept to present day conventional p–n junction photovoltaic devices. Until recently, much of the research has been focused on n-type DSSCs. Comparatively few studies have examined a p-type DSSCs, even if the study of this cell is important both to understand the factors that control the conversion efficiencies and to aid the rational design of efficient DSSC.

For first time, the HELC DSC project proposes the implementation of new concept for p-type DSSCs, highly efficient and low-cost p-type dye-sensitized solar cells based on copper oxide (Cu2O and CuO) for both electrodes, photocathode (using copper foil as flexible substrate and copper oxide thin film) and counter electrode (copper oxide thin film on FTO).

Based on our experience (experimental and theoretical results) accumulated in p-DSSC domain, the concept proposed by the HELC DSC project was building on the solutions aims to accomplish 2 main characteristics of p-DSSC: (i) low-cost production by using Cu and Cu2O/CuO for photocathode, replacing Pt with copper oxide for counter-electrode, the use of the hydrothermal method for the synthesis of both electrodes, low-cost dye and electrolyte; (ii) highly efficienciences by maximizing the short circuit photocurrent density (JSC>7 mA/cm2), the open-circuit photovoltage (VOC >400mV) and the fill factor (ff >0.4).

The HELC DSC project will provide the highly efficient and low-cost p-type DSSC prototyping as an alternative economic for market implementation and the new solution for development of the tandem DSSCs.

Abstract:

Observing the amplified or synergetic photovoltaic effect with fullerene based double graphene layers embedded in quantum dots heterojunctions is designed in two steps: testing and calibrating the photovoltaic responses of the fullerene based mono-layer graphene embedded within photoelectroactive quantum dot heterojunctions (objective 1, TRL3); it is followed by the second stage of assembling and testing the fullerene based double-graphene quantum dot heterojunctions photovoltaics (objective 2, TRL4). The project is supported by the promising hot results of experimentally obtaining and confirming of ozopolymeric fullerene based graphene, as well as the computationally prediction of enhancing of quantum signals (by bondons for graphene layers, and by bondots for inter-layers of graphene) due to the topo-defects propagation on graphene, which can be triggered by interaction with light as in photovoltaics. The experimental demonstration framework of the fullerene based double graphene photovoltaics (FG2PV) effect and product is fully supported by the exclusive top facilities in nano-sciences offered by the Laboratory of renewable energies – photovoltaics (LERF) hosted by INCEMC-Timisoara; it is envisaged to be unfolded by internationally recognized researchers and post-docs together with young, very much skilled, enthusiastic and gender equilibrated team. With an optimal scientific management, reasonable costs and anticipated risks and mitigation measures, the FG2PV project is designed to be a worthy success. It will provide a scientific leap in the field of quantum dot photovoltaics, at low fidelity in TRL4 but also at low costs in the lab, while offering an innovative route at regional, national and international levels (in the view of Horizon 2020 programs) for inclusively employing the green carbon nanostructures (as graphene is by default) with the nano-techniques and systems in renewable energies, the solar one in particular.

Abstract:

Increase of pollution degree due to inefficient or too little measures regarding gases emissions resulted behind some industrial activities and rolling stock increasing at global level it takes measures towards noxious effects detection and limitation on people health and environment.

Sensors made of inorganic materials are the most commonly used, especially ceramics. One reason is that many sensors are used in very severe conditions such as high temperature, reactive or corrosive atmosphere and high humidity, and ceramics are most reliable materials in these conditions. Thus, the aim of the EcoSaw project is development and testing an demonstrative experimental model, namely, a SAW sensor, using undoped and Pd or Ca doped ABO3 perovskite materials (A = La and B = Mn) , obtained through low cost and environmentally friendly processes.

To achieve the aim of the project, the overall objectives are:

(i) Obtaining of undoped and Pd and Ca doped LaMnO3 perovskite structure through sustainable and green processes; (ii) Deposition (using different methods) of perovskite materials on quartz substrate in order to achieve thin films; (iii) Design, achievement and testing of SAW sensor used for selective detection of toxic gases (CO or H2S ); (iv) Dissemination of the research results will materialize through high impact international publications, participation at national and international conferences, patents.

Project outcomes will materialize by advanced synthesis technologies, production processes and innovative products, and also in creating mechanism for implementation of scientific results in production. The expected outcomes will consist of innovative technologies and demonstrative models.

Abstract:

The alternatives to conventional silicon-based solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) attract great research interests because of low manufacturing cost and environmentally friendly character. Recently, Grätzel and coworkers have achieved a world record efficiency of 12.3% based on porphyrin dye sensitized TiO2 n-type DSSC.

However, the commercialization of DSSCs is still being postponed by their relatively lower efficiency. To further improve the energy conversion efficiency of DSSC up to 15% is of critical importance for the scale-up industrial application of this cheap and environmental friendly photovoltaic technology. Recently, the idea of tandem-DSSCs, with a theoretical photon to energy conversion efficiency (PCE) over 40%, has been raised.

TANDEL CELL project is aimed to obtain highly efficient photocathodes for dye-sensitized tandem solar cells based on nanocrystalline delafossite materials and the establishment of young independent research team in highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cells domain.
