To facilitate selection of the technological solutions that provide the best match to the needs of the end user, this paper systematically explores plasma set-ups, focusing on the most significant family of the processes – control of plasma fluxes – which determine the distribution and delivery of mass and energy to the surfaces of nanomaterials being processes and synthesized. With the key process?s and material parameters such as growth and modification rates, phase transitions, crystallinity, density of lattice defects and others being linked to plasma and energy fluxes, this review published in high IF journl offers direction and view into paramount of work done in the frame of this project.

In this minireview, a number of representative examples is used to demonstrate key mechanisms and unique capabilities of oxygen plasmas and how these can be used in present-day nano-fabrication. In addition to modification and functionalisation processes typical for oxygen plasmas, their ability to catalyse the growth of complex nanoarchitectures is emphasized. Two types of technologies based on oxygen plasmas, namely surface treatment without a change in the size and shape of surface features, as well as direct growth of oxide structures, focused on in this project, are used to better illustrate the capabilities of oxygen plasmas as a powerful process environment. Future applications and possible challenges for the use of oxygen plasmas in nanofabrication are discussed.

Publication of scientific paper in the top journal of physical chemistry, where we report a nonaqueous sol-gel route to produce catalytic CoP3 nanoparticles with some exceptional properties. The prepared nanoparticles are not only the smallest bimetallic nanoparticles on the world in the size of one domain (less than 2 nm) but are also superparamagnetic.

In this paper, we report on the fast process for synthesis of NMCs. For this, a scalable manufacturing technique based on atmospheric plasma based spray pyrolysis for producing NMC (and Li-NMC) with reaction time scales of the order of minutes was developed. Results show that the chemistry of resulting materials (Ni/Mn/Co ratio) can be controlled from precursor composition. This can produce highly interesting cathode materials with durable performance.
