Towards a highly-controllable synthesis of copper oxide nanowires in radio-frequency reactive plasma

In this scientific work, the synthesis of copper oxide nanowires is presented. A major contribution of this work is the detailed description of the influence of plasma parameters on the growth, crystal composition and geometric shape of nanowires.

Plasma jet based in situ reduction of copper oxide in direct write printing

The scientific paper presents an atmospheric plasma system capable of printing copper nanoparticles on various surfaces. A modified implementation of this system was also used in the deposition of nickel nanoparticles on the surface of plasma-synthesized nanostructures in this project.

Reusable Au/Pd-coated chestnut-like copper oxide SERS substrates with ultra-fast self-recovery

Plasma-synthesized copper oxide nanostructures were used as the basis for the plasmon signal amplified due to the geometric contribution of the surface. Additional amplification of the plasmon signal was provided by a coating of a mixture of gold and palladium.

N-graphene nanowalls via plasma nitrogen incorporation and substitution

This article was published in a magazine with a very high impact factor. It represents a study of the plasma modification of carbon nanowalls through the incorporation of nitrogen by gas plasma. Nitrogen can settle to the defect site where carbon is missing in the graphene structure. However, plasma can first generate a defect and only then attach nitrogen. The research is very important because by binding nitrogen, we completely change the electronic properties of graphene structures and thus also the catalytic capacity.

Atmospheric pressure plasma jet-assisted impregnation of gold nanoparticles into PVC polymer for various applications

The work presents an interesting method of synthesis of gold nanoparticles using a laser in a liquid. These nanoparticles were then applied with a dropper to the surface of the PVC polymer and treated with atmospheric plasma. The same method could be used for the synthesis and deposition of Ni nanoparticles.
