Annotation:
The project explores the pivotal role of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) in enhancing the performance and stability of solar cells, finally focusing on their application as hole-selective layers in perovskite and organic photovoltaic devices. Various types of SAMs, including carbazole-based, phenothiazine-based, and conjugated monolayers, will be comprehensively reviewed and further developed based on theoretical optimization and feedback from targeted microscopic and nanoscopic characterization techniques. New molecular structures, synthetic methodologies, and assembly techniques will be developed. We will exploit the structural variations in anchoring groups, linker chains, and functional head groups, examining their influence on charge distribution, energy alignment, and surface defects density. These parameters, extracted from advanced characterization and DFT calculations, will be fed into a classical semiconductor model equipped with quantum mechanical features. The model, after a validation on real fabricated devices, will unravel the role of SAMs in a photovoltaic device.

Labor productivity is an indicator where the Czech Republic has traditionally lagged behind its Western partners. The goal of this project is to develop innovative optimization methods for various processes in selected strategic sectors. Later application of these methods in practice should increase productivity and competitiveness. The success of the deployment will be ensured by our close cooperation with selected academic and industrial partners, who will be named later in the text. We have identified the following four strategically important areas of existing and planned research that we want to optimize. (1) Medicine and Pharmacology (2) Energy Industry (3) Industrial Optimization and Automation (4) Optimization of Defense Systems

Annotation:
Vrstvené 2D materiály nabízejí spoustu specifických fyzikálních vlastností, které umožní dosáhnout bezprecedentních parametrů použitelných v různých aplikacích, jako jsou fotovoltaická zařízení, katalýza vodíku, tranzistory, detekce DNA, nanoelektromechanické systémy či tribologie. V tomto ohledu hrají dichalkogenidy přechodných kovů (TMD) zásadní roli díky své variabilitě v chemickém složení. Manipulace s jednotlivými vrstvami TMD a implementace do konečných zařízení však vyžaduje znalost a zejména řízení jejich třecích vlastností. Simulace TMD struktur umožní výběr optimálních TMD heterostruktur, které budou experimentálně ověřeny. Tyto heterostruktury budou schopny měnit třecí součinitel na základě externích elektrických a elektromagnetických podnětů. Přiblížíme se tak Svatému Grálu tribologie - aktivní kontrole součinitele tření.

V porovnání s částečně prozkoumaným grafénem představují dichalkogenidy přechodových kovů (TMD) oblast slibující nové vlastnosti jedno a vícevrstvých 2D materiálů. K jejich praktickému využití je nutná velkoobjemová produkce vysoce kvalitních TMD filmů s přesně definovaným počtem vrstev. Navrhovaný projekt umožní pochopit exfoliaci TMD vrstev díky kombinaci simulací a pokročilých experimentů, jeho výstupem pak bude vymezení parametrů vhodných pro exfoliaci jedno a vícevrstevných TMD struktur.

SOLUTION will provide research and training program for 14 early stage researchers (ESR) pursuing their PhD in various disciplines covering the broadly defined area of solid lubricant coatings. The project combines theoretical approaches represented by advanced nanoscale simulations, laboratory design and fabrication of novel solid lubricants supported by simulations, and the up-scaling of promising solutions and their application in selected emerging engineering applications. SOLUTION will link industries from various areas dealing with similar issues through intensive training and knowledge sharing. Three topics driven by industrial partners have been selected to demonstrate the added value of simultaneous development and training. The use of modern solid lubricants underlines the transformation of industry towards smart design, which is based on predictive models and cross-communication throughout the entire production chain. Fellows supported by the project will have a unique opportunity to gain competence ranging from simulation, characterization and processing, to industrial processes and entrepreneurship. Highly individualized multidisciplinary training reflecting actual market needs, together with scientific excellence, will generate an open-mind generation able to harvest multidisciplinary knowledge and to successfully face challenges represented by the design of competitive solid lubricants.
