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…

Two weeks ago, we sadly had to say goodbye to our visiting PhD researcher Md Soif Ahmed. After he successfully defended his thesis, he will now head off to Madrid and join the research group of Enrique Cánovas at imdea nanociencia for a PostDoc. Thanks for all the good time…

Isabelle traveled to Lucca in Bella Italia to present her work on the enhancement of charge transport properties using in-plane oriented organic semiconductors. Thanks for your contribution and congratulations for winning the best poster prize, Isabelle!

Natalie went to Dresden to attend the ICSM conference and to give an invited talk on the ionic and electronic charge transport in organic electrochemical transistors.

We are pleased to announce our latest publication on limiting factors for charge generation in low-offset fullerene-based organic solar cells, published in Nature Communications. Many thanks to the groups of Brédas and Riede for making this collaboration possible.

Eva attended the annual MRS spring meeting that took place in Seattle this year. There, she presented her latest work on overcoming the limits of conductivity in organic semiconductors. Thanks for your contribution, Eva!
