APVV-23-0522, 2024-2028, Plasma based methods for detection and degradation of pesticides / co-investigator

The application of chemical agents in the food industry and agriculture, such as pesticides, constitutes a significant contributor to environmental pollution and also to the public health. Consequently, addressing this issue aligns with both the European Union's key objective of restoring clean water across Europe and the Slovak Innovation Strategy's focus on "Healthy food and environment." These initiatives aim to achieve tangible outcomes by 2030. The proposed project, in accordance with these strategies, seeks to explore and advance new technologies for degradation pesticides. The overarching goal is to develop new efficient methods for degradation pesticides based on the non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasmas. In order to achieve this goal, many additional problems has to be solved, including i) the fundamental studies of the physico-chemical processes relevant to pesticides degradation by the non-thermal plasma (electron and ion driven processes relevant to plasma degradation), ii) development of fast and sensitive method for detection of pesticides in the environment and for monitoring of degradation processes, based on the Ion Mobility Spectrometry and iii) development of non-thermal plasma degradation methods for pesticides and understanding of the processes of the degradation.

VEGA 1/0553/22, 2022-2025, Reactions of electrons and ions with environmental pollutants studied by novel spectrometric methods / principal investigator


Basic research of electron-molecular/cluster and ion-molecular processes is one of the fields of physical or analytical chemistry with high interest. We will focus on organic compounds originating from industrial activities, everyday waste, which can be considered as environmental pollutants (different phthalates, phenols, PCBs). The outputs of our research at the Comenius University in Bratislava will be the kinetic and thermodynamic properties of molecules (cross sections, ionization, excitation, and dissociation energies…), excited states and vibrational transitions evaluated (with electron induced fluorescence), decomposition to ionic fragments of molecules/clusters (with mass spectrometry). The outputs of electron processes will help to understand the ion-molecular processes in ion mobility spectrometry, moreover it will be used to determine the detection limits of the target substances. All these experimental results will be theoretically interpreted using the standard methods of quantum chemistry.

APVV-19-0386, 2020-2024, Ion and electron processes for advanced spectrometric methods / co-investigator


Molecular processes induced by electrons and ions are abundant in many different environments such as interstellar space, atmospheres of small bodies and planets, natural and industrial plasmas, novel nanotechnologies such as focused electron and ion beam etching and deposition, analytical methods or even in agricultural applications. The main goal of current basic research project will be understanding the processes associated with electron and ion interactions with gases, including electron ionisation, electron induced excitation and dissociation, electron attachment, and finally the interaction of positive and negative ions with the molecules in detail. The studies will cover the field of the kinetics of the processes (cross sections and rate coefficients), and energetics of the reactions (analysis of the reaction products and energy thresholds for their formation). The experimental studies will also be supported by quantum chemical calculations when needed. To reach the project goals the Electron and Plasma Physics Laboratory (EPPL) at the Comenius University Bratislava will use advanced spectrometric methods – emission spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry which will provide complex understanding of the analysed group of processes. The EPPL utilizes unique combination of experimental devices aimed specifically at studying these elementary processes. During the course of the project all the experimental methods will be further developed to broaden their capabilities and applications. The project will also draw support from the run-in cooperation of the EPPL with excellent research organizations such as Auburn University, USA in the field of astrophysics, University of Kent, UK in the field of plasma jets and discharges or National Research Nuclear University, Russia in the field of ion spectrometry. The project will generate publications in the renowned international current journals and several PhD, master and bachelor theses.

VEGA 1/0489/21, 2021-2024, Study of excitation reaction of electrons with astrophysically relevant molecules / co-investigator


The project is focused on the research of electron and ion processes in the atmospheres of cosmic bodies and interstellar space. Using electron-induced mass spectrometry of isolated molecules in the gas phase and molecular clusters, electron-induced fluorescence and ion mobility spectrometry, the physical and physico-chemical properties of molecules of astrophysical importance, also identified by the ROSETA mission, will be determined in cooperation with workers from Alabama University in the USA.

APVV-15-0580, 2016-2020, Electron and ion interactions with molecules and their applications in analytical and diagnostic methods / co-investigator


The project is focused on development of new ion sources for Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionisation (APCI) on the basis of electric discharges for ultra high sensitive analytical techniques based on Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) and mass spectrometry (MS) and their combination (IMS-MS). Additionally, we plan to develop atmospheric pressure electron gun as ion and photon source for the analytical techniques. The research of new ionisation methods will be complemented by fundamental research of electron induced ionisation and excitation processes and ion-molecule reactions relevant to the diagnostics and understanding of the operation of the ion sources. The results of the fundamental studies we plan to apply for analysis and detection of chemical compounds (phthalates and derivatives of aromatic molecules) using the IMS, and IMS-MS methods.
