Congratulations to our new doctor, Jaroslava Jarolímková

On Wednesday 30 September 2026, Mgr. Jaroslava Jarolímková successfully defended her doctoral thesis, thereby completing her doctoral studies in the Applied Nanotechnology programme. In her thesis, entitled ‘Nanoparticles and Nanostructured Materials for Gas Sorption and Electrochemical Gas Evolution’, supervised by Prof. Ing. Zdeňka Kolská, Ph.D., she focused on the preparation and characterisation of nanostructured materials.

In her thesis, she focused on polyaniline nanoparticles and two-dimensional MoS₂ nanolayers. She investigated how the conditions under which they are prepared influence their structure and properties, and how these materials can be utilised in gas sorption, the electrocatalytic evolution of hydrogen, or in the preparation of stable aqueous dispersions.

The results showed that the properties of both types of material can be significantly influenced by controlled synthesis. In the case of polyaniline, she succeeded in modifying its specific surface area, porosity and sorption capacity, whilst for MoS₂, appropriately selected exfoliation conditions led to an improvement in its electrocatalytic activity and also enabled the preparation of more stable aqueous dispersions.

Jaroslava Jarolímková’s research has resulted in a total of seven publications in specialist scientific journals, which make a significant contribution to the advancement of knowledge on nanostructured materials and their application in gas sorption, hydrogen evolution and the preparation of stable colloidal systems.

We congratulate Jaroslava Jarolímková on the successful completion of her doctoral studies and wish her every success in her future professional and personal endeavours.
