Ewa Iwanek, PhD, from the Faculty of Chemistry at Warsaw University of Technology, together with her thesis students, is developing highly active supported catalysts, where the active phase is deposited on high-surface-area oxide solid solutions. These supports are oxides (CeO₂, ZrO₂, and Al₂O₃) doped with trace amounts of foreign ions—a strategy that maintains the structure of the parent oxide while significantly enhancing its physicochemical properties.

Can plants warn about disease before symptoms appear? Thanks to research by a team lead by Małgorzata Wesoły PhD from the Faculty of Chemistry at the Warsaw University of Technology, analysing plant and soil odours could revolutionize agricultural diagnostics. Discover the fascinating world of volatilomics and its applications in crop protection.

We are proud to share that on July 30, 2025, Prof. Elżbieta Jastrzębska, PhD, Eng., received her appointment letter from the President of the Republic of Poland, Andrzej Duda, officially accepting the title of Professor of Natural Sciences in the discipline of Chemical Sciences, awarded on March 5, 2025.

We sincerely congratulate!

The scientist from the Faculty of Chemistry of the Warsaw University of Technology and the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences received an award in the field of chemical and materials sciences for the development of mechanochemical methods for the synthesis of perovskites to improve their photovoltaic properties.

The awards ceremony will take place on December 4, 2024, and will be broadcast online.

EU Horizon 2020 ASTRABAT project, part of which is carried out at the Faculty of Chemistry, Warsaw University of Technology (WUT project manager: Leszek Niedzicki), has come to the end with the end of 2023 after four years of work, bringing us closer to the development of the European high-performance all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.
The project's critical work and innovation have been summarised in form of the handbook, video presentation as well as five informative packs on various technical aspects – from the electrolyte tailorisation to the fluorine-free ionic liquid plasticizers.

ESAB is an organization of professional biotechnologists from all over Europe, dedicated to developing and promoting Industrial Biotechnology (so-called White Biotechnology) among employees of academia, research institutes, and the industrial sector.

EU Horizon 2020 ASTRABAT project, part of which is carried out at the Faculty of Chemistry, Warsaw University of Technology (WUT project manager: Leszek Niedzicki), is nearing the end of its four-year path to develop new high-performance all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.
The project's critical work and innovation have been summarised in five informative packs on various technical aspects – from the electrolyte tailorisation to the fluorine-free ionic liquid plasticizers.

We are proud to announce that Dr Borowiecki (Faculty of Chemistry, Warsaw University of Technology), together with Dr Jennifer Bridwell-Rabb from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and Dr Sandy Schmidt from the Gröningen Research Institute of Pharmacy, University of Gröningen, will coordinate the edition of a Special Issue entitled: Chemoenzymatic synthesis in Nature: Communications Chemistry. 

How can the toxicity of cesium, which is frequently used but dangerous for people and the environment, be dealt with? What can help are nanomaterials containing sumanene. Artur Kasprzak, PhD, from the Faculty of Chemistry at the Warsaw University of Technology, is working on it. He is the only researcher in the world who specializes in such a use of this compound.
