Characterisation and application of electrodes with hydrogenated titania nanotubes modified with M13 bacteriophages

A second paper involving our group was just accepted in the Festschrift of the Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry dedicated to the 60th birthday of Prof. Frank Marken from the University of Bath. This is an article by our collaborators in the Surface Nanoengineering Group, where Kasia was leading the work of […]

Spectroelectrochemical properties of 8-aminoquinoline: voltammetric and computational studies

We are happy that we just published a new paper in a special issue of the Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry dedicated to the 60th birthday of Prof. Frank Marken from the University of Bath. The special issue is edited by Frank’s former supervisor, the legendary Prof. Richard G. Compton, […]

Transfer of highly hydrophilic ions between immiscible liquids at the three-phase junction using a squaramide-based ion pair receptor

In a recently published paper in Electrochimica Acta, Julia presents the results of her investigations of two new squaramide-based ion-pair receptors for ion transfer at a three-phase electrode. The compounds, which were synthesised by colleagues from Warsaw University had previously been used to transfer hydrophilic ions across a liquid-liquid interface, […]

Cu(II) binding to an antimicrobial shrimp peptide – a small step for structural chemistry, a big leap for medicinal applications

Conference trips can bring new collaborations, especially when you are open to discussions and meeting new people (read scientists). At the 2nd French-Polish Chemistry Congress held in 2023, Martin heard Magdalena Rowińska-Żyrek give a talk on the antimicrobial properties of Zn- and Cu-complexes with peptides from shrimp and this meeting […]

Optical Interfacing of Plasmonic Waveguides with Colloidal Quantum Dots

The year started with the publication of an article in J. Phys. Chem. C on propagating plasmons in silver nanowires. This work in yet another in the series of articles on silver nanostructures and plasmons run by our neighbours in the Surface Nanoengineering group and the Maćkowski group in Toruń. In this work, it was […]
