Maxi traveled to Boston to attend the MRS Fall Meeting 2024 that was taking place last week! There, he presented his work on the charge transport properties of oligoetherized polythiophene!

We are happy to announce that we can fill a PhD Position in Solar Cell Photophysics! To get more information about the job offer, you can click on the title. Interested? You can apply directly by contacting Natalie Banerji! With your application, please include a motivation letter and a CV.…

We are happy to announce our new publication entitled “Direct visualization of the charge transfer state dynamics in dilute-donor organic photovoltaic blends”, published in Nature Communications. Gareth investigated the interconversion dynamics between charge transfer state charges (CTCs) and separated charges (SCs). Many thanks to the group of Frank Ortmann for…

The lecture series “Chemie am Samstag” at the DCBP is targeted towards school kids and the science-interested public and gives them insight into state-of-the-art research. This is why we are happy to announce that Natalie presented our group’s research there in the beginning of November. We hope to see some…

We are pleased to announce a new publication entitled “Sensitive Self-Driven Single-Component Organic Photodetector Based on Vapor-Deposited Small Molecules” where we collaborated with Jakob to investigate a single-component organic photodetector (OPD). Many thanks to Johannes Benduhn and Karl Leo for the collaboration on this project.

Last week, we had the pleasure to welcome the OMIEC community in Bern. We had the possibility to show our fantastic labs and our research to a lot of PIs in the field all at once. Thank you to everyone involved in the planning! It was a pleasure to host…

End of October, Isabelle traveled to Cyprus to present her talk on the transport characteristics of in-plane oriented organic mixed-electronic conductors. Thanks for your contribution and the very nice talk! Well done!

Kaishuai and Maxi gave a talk at the OMIEC symposium at the MATSUS Fall Meeting in Lausanne, and Christian contributed to the conference with a poster. Thanks to all of you for your contributions, well done! Also many thanks to Olivier and Natalie for the fantastic symposium organization!

Natalie had the privilege to attend the Nature Conference on Perovskite and Organic Photovoltaics in Nanjing. Great Science, great company and great food! Immense thank you to the organizers.

We are pleased to share our new paper entitled ”Free Charge Carrier Generation by Visible-Light-Absorbing Organic Spacers in Ruddlesden–Popper Layered Perovskites”. Combining multiple spectroscopic techniques, the increase of light harvesting and the generation and spatial separation of charge carriers in the new synthesized (NDI-DAE)2PbI4 has been demonstrated. Many thanks to…
