Neuromorphic engineering is a rapidly developing branch of science that aims to implement the unique attributes of biological neural networks in artificial devices. Most neuromorphic devices are based on the resistive switching effect, which involves changing the device’s conductivity in response to an external electric field. For instance, percolating nanoparticle (NP) networks produced by gas aggregation cluster sources (GAS) show collective spiking behavior in conductivity reminiscent of brain-like dynamics. Nevertheless, the problem of dynamic spatial reconfiguration in solid-state neuromorphic systems remains unsolved. Herein, novel nanofluids with resistive switching properties are proposed as neuromorphic media. They are produced by depositing silver NPs from GAS into vacuum-compatible liquids (paraffin, silicon oil, and PEG) without the use of surfactants or other chemicals. When the electric field is applied between two electrodes, the migration of NPs toward biased electrode is detected in all liquids. The electrophoretic nature of the NP movement was proved by means of ζ-potential measurements. Such movement led to the self-assembly of NPs in conductive paths connecting the electrodes and, as a result, to resistive switching. The electrical response was strongly dependent on the dielectric constant of the base liquid. The Ag-PEG nanofluid demonstrated the best switching performance reproducible during several tens of current-voltage cycles. The growth of flexible and reconfigurable conductive filaments in nanofluids makes them suitable media for potential realization of 3D neural networks.

Growth and Phosphorus Dynamics During Tolypothrix tenuis Cultivation – a Cyanobacterium of Biotechnological Potential
Mušálková, Petra
2024 - anglický
Here I investigated the course of biomass growth, phosphorus uptake and changes in intracellular phosphorus content in T. tenuis in a batch cultivation. Cultivation experiment was held in multiple bubble columns during a light regime (alternating light and dark periods 16 and 8h). Thanks to this experiment I was able to obtain a growth curve of T. tenuis. The decrease of phosphorus concentration in the medium was disproportionally faster\nthan biomass growth resulting in significant oscillations of phosphorus content in the biomass, which are typical characteristics for LPU. It was also observed, that after all phosphorus was removed from the medium, the algae growth continues over time, while obviously utilizing intracellular phosphorus reserves. These findings are valuable in course of using this cyanobacterium for efficient bioremediation of eutrophic water based on phosphorus removal by targeted algae cultivation.

Electrochemical Properties of Pretomanid. New drug for Tuberculosis Treatment
Deri, M.; Vespi, M.; Giannarelli, S.; Hromadová, Magdaléna
2024 - anglický
The electrochemical behavior of Pretomanid (PA 824) has been investigated in acetonitrile by cyclic voltammetry at different scan rates and compared to dimetridazole reduction in order to elucidate its redox mechanism. Both compounds show similar reduction behavior in the aprotic solvent that involves one electron transfer to the nitro group. The reduction of Pretomanid is more difficult and the stability of its nitro anion radical is much lower compared to the dimetridazole molecule.

Redox Properties of Pyrene-Cyclohexene Conjugates – Electrochemical Study
Koláčná, Lucie; Čubiňák, M.; Tobrman, T.; Ludvík, Jiří
2024 - anglický
The series of 16 compounds for "organic electronics" comprising the double-bond cyclohexene core extended by pyrene and/or other aromatics were electrochemically characterized by rotating disk voltammetry in N,N-dimethylformamide. Due to multiple substitutions, the resulting potential gap represents the sum of all substituent effects. Different combinations of substituents can be used to achieve the desired properties of cyclohexene-pyrene derivatives. The electrochemical data presented in this contribution facilitate further tuning of properties of these molecules and systems to achieve features required in material chemistry just by means of chemical modification.

Electrochemical Valorization of Lignocellulosic Biomass Amination of Furfural and 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural
Donkeng Dazie, Joel; Koláčná, Lucie; Urban, Jiří; Lamač, Martin; Ludvík, Jiří
2024 - anglický
Furfural (FF) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) isolated from waste lignocellulosic biomass represent renewable sources. The present contribution deals with the transformation of FF and HMF into furfuryl amines which are important precursors namely for pharmaceutical synthesis. First, FF and HMF underwent condensation reactions with various amines which were electrochemically monitored to optimize the process. The resulting Schiff bases were identified by NMR and subsequently electrochemically reduced in basic media. The vicinal diamine (aminopinacol) was the main product besides the expected furfuryl amines. This reaction is a contribution to green synthesis because it was performed electrochemically, in water, and without any metallic catalysts.

3D-printed Electrodes with Nearly Ideal Charge Transfer Characteristics
Vaněčková, Eva; Sebechlebská, Táňa; Kolivoška, Viliam
2024 - anglický
3D printing is an outstanding manufacturing tool for prototyping customized designs at reduced time and costs, having found applications in fields such as medicine or the automotive industry. The development of printable electrically conductive composite materials brought a revolution to electrochemistry, with 3D-printed electrodes being intensively studied from the viewpoint of\nanalytical performance and stability. However, it is often reported that 3D-printed electrodes have poor charge transfer characteristics, typically due to limited exposure of the electrically conductive phase at the composite surface to the surrounding solution. In this work, we devise and apply simple electrochemical activation procedures that lead to a significant improvement of charge transfer characteristics of 3D printed electrodes.

Shtukaturova, Anastasia
2024 - anglický
An up-flow percolation test was chosen to identify and characterize heavy metals and PFAS constituents in textile waste. Up-flow column percolation tests are used on a laboratory scale to assess the leaching behavior of a hazardous substance from a waste in a given state as a function of time. The test was performed according to the European Technical Standard CEN/TS 14405. Preliminary results showed the following heavy metals in the leachates Al, As, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, Zn and Sb, with Al, Cr, Fe, Mn and Zn being predominant.
