The Nanotechnology Centre is a core part of the University Centre for Energy and Environmental Technologies (CEET), with a strong emphasis on materials research and characterization for energy storage and related applications. Our research spans the synthesis, modification, and in-depth characterization of nanomaterials, advanced composites, and functional surfaces. We specialize in analytical techniques critical for evaluating materials performance, such as spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and thermal and electrochemical analysis—key to advancing energy storage technologies. The Centre also explores magneto-optics, plasmonics, spintronics, and molecular modeling to support innovation in next-generation devices.
We offer bachelor's, master's, and doctoral education in Nanotechnology in both Czech and English, with students actively participating in research and industrial collaboration. As an accredited laboratory under ČSN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005, we support academia and industry through high-precision analysis and consultation. Since our founding in 1992 as the Central Analytical Laboratory, we have evolved into a leading facility under the CEET umbrella, advancing strategic partnerships and multidisciplinary research. Our leadership and faculty have continually expanded our impact, including international doctoral collaborations and national competence initiatives. Under the current direction of prof. Ing. Gražyna Simha Martynková, Ph.D., we continue to drive research at the interface of nanotechnology, energy, and environmental sustainability.
On 1 January 2021, the Nanotechnology Centre merged with the Institute of Environmental Technology, the Energy Research Centre and the Centre for Energy and and Environmental Technologies to form the new University Centre of Energy and Environmental Technologies (CEET).
