Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy introduced into the International Standard Organization (ISO) regulations as an alternative method for detection and identification of pathogens in the food industry

Marta just had her first paper published. She prepared SERS-active substrates for a study using Raman spectroscopy to identify pathogens in food. Results described in the article (with a title so long that an abstract in not really needed) show that surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) combined with principal component analysis […]

Doctor Dawid

Dawid successfully defended his PhD thesis on Thursday, and today he was officially recognised as doctor of chemistry by our scientific council. Dawid’s thesis, with the title “Electrochemical processes at liquid|liquid interfaces in microfluidic systems” can be found here (pdf). The thesis received positive opinions from the two reviewers, Prof. […]

Metal ions containing C3N3S3 coordination polymers chemisorbed to copper surface as acid stable hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts

Another paper from Vishwanath’s old work in India was just published in the very good Journal of Materials Chemistry A. Brilliant work! The paper concerns the creation of electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction, something that is urgently needed if hydrogen shall be produced using sustainable amounts of energy. The […]
