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…

We are very pleased to announce our latest publication. Olivier investigated PEDOT copolymers with oligo(ethylene oxy) side-chains and found stability and performance improvements. Many thanks to the group of John Reynolds for making this collaboration possible!

For this year’s group excursion, we went to Aquatis in Lausanne where we marveled at exotic wildlife and sea life animals. The excursion was then rounded off by a dinner at Natalie’s place. Huge thanks to Natalie for making this great experience possible!

We warmly welcome Alan Eduardo Ávila Ramírez in our group! He is joining FemtoMat for a PhD project where he will investigate the electrochemical doping of organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors for the ICONIC (In-situ & operando organiC electrochemical transistors monitored by non-destructive spectroscopies for Organic cmos-like NeuromorphIc Circuits) project. All…

Isabelle, Basil and Maxi went to Fribourg last week to present their work at the Fall meeting of the Swiss Chemical Society (SCS). Thanks to all of you for your contribution and the very nice posters!

Last week, Christian and Maxi presented their work at the First Year Graduate Student Symposium in Bern. The symposium allows PhD students to present the work they already achieved after one year and receive feedback from the board of professors at the DCBP. Maxi also won a prize for the…
