Quantum Materials for Applications in Sustainable Technologies

Full project name:

Quantum Materials for Applications in Sustainable Technologies (QM4ST)

Project Details

The QM4ST project, supported by the Johannes Amos Comenius Programme under the call “Excellent Science”, focuses on quantum materials research for sustainable technologies. Research activities include the design and synthesis of quantum materials, such as nanostructures, thin films, and doped systems, with the aim of discovering new functions and emergent properties. The project will also investigate materials for spintronics, superconductivity, photocatalysis, electrolysis, fuel cells, and photonics, developing devices that can impact sustainable, low-emission technologies. To achieve these goals, QM4ST will implement revolutionary approaches in theory, mathematical simulation, and experimental techniques, enabling precise control over material properties and device functionality. The integration of these quantum-engineered materials into functional architectures will allow the exploration of emergent phenomena and open pathways for innovative technological applications.
