After obtaining her PhD from The University of Minnesota (Prof. Eray Aydil), Dr. Melissa Johnson crossed the pond to join LIMNO. Welcome to the group !
Dr. Guijarro’s use of novel overlayers of n-type CdSe or ZnSe on p-type CZTS along with a methylviologen as a surface treatment gave new insights into interfacial charge extraction for this promising photoelectrochemical energy conversion system. The full details can be found in J. Phys. Chem. Lett.
Xiaoyun Yu’s method using alkyl-trichlorosilane surfactants to prevent the restacking of 2D MoS2 layers and create stable dispersions was used to demonstrate homogeneous thin film formation and highly active large-area semiconductor devices. A full description is published in the ACS journal Chemistry of Materials.
After a postdoctoral fellowship with Prof. James Durrant (ICL), Dr. Florian Le Formal joins our team. In addition, Wiktor Bourée joins LIMNO for his PhD studies after master’s training at ETHZ and a research internship at Harvard University. Welcome to the group !
Using a flexible linker approach we have demonstrated a new way to control thin-film morphologies without changing the molecular weight. This has allowed new insights into inter-and intra-chain transport in thin-film. Our results have been published in the journal “Chemical Science”.
