2D CAT Group

Welcome to the Vesely Research Group. We explore 2D materials and their application in heterogeneous catalysis. We characterize 2D materials based on germanium and silicon, use them as a support for metal nanoparticle and reveal relation between the 2D material structure/electronic properties and observed catalytic activity.

We apply concept of spectro-microscopy to get insight into this relation by measuring the the same spot on the catalyst using various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques, ideally under in-situ or operando conditions. 

We use advanced image and data processing of naturally multimodal data to uncover the nature of the sturcture-activity relation.
