We are glad to share the first paper related to one of our research projects: “Microfluidic System for Solar Energy Conversion”. In this project, we seek to answer how to use renewable energy sources in the most efficient way to carry out a more eco-friendly chemical reaction? Following the current […]

After what feels like a very long journey, our article on ion transfer in paper using an electrochemical pen has finally been publishedThe seed to this started several years ago as a sketch during a meeting. The idea was to do standard ion transfer, but with the aqueous and organic […]
And the next paper in the silver nanostructure series with our neighbours in the Surface Nanoengineering group and the Maćkowski group in Toruń. This time its a review of how Silver Island Films (SIFs) affect the properties of light-sensitive proteins. Here, experiments were done with proteins such as peridinin-chlorophyll-protein (PCP) or the Fenna–Matthews–Olson (FMO) complex, […]
Martin had a part in a new paper that was just published in Electrochimica Acta. The paper is mainly the work of our previous group member Marcin Filipiak performed in the company BioMedX in Heidelberg, but it builds on some of the work Marcin performed in our group before he […]
Continuing our investigations of the behaviour of various redox probes at three-phase electrodes we have just published a paper looking at TCNQ (7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane) in a standard droplet-based setup. The reason we choose TCNQ is that it’s a quinone related to the ones we studied in our previous publication on transfer […]
Martin again had a small part in a paper. This time one that was recently published in Journal of Lightwave Technology. This was work mainly done in the group of Mateusz Śmietana at Warsaw University of Technology in collaboration with our neighbouring group of Surface nanoengineering. Here the effect of […]
A new paper using bacteriophages for electrode modification was just published in Sensors and Actuators B. The work was mainly done by Katarzyna Szot-Karpińska in our neighbouring group, but Martin had a small part in the analysis of the data and in the imaging of the electrodes. Here, the bacteriophage […]
Corrosion is a part of electrochemistry that our group is generally not involved in, although it is a very important area of research. However, Martin again had a small part in a recently published paper*, this time about corrosion protection. Specifically the paper is examining the properties of zinc coatings […]
A paper was recently published in Scientific Reports about atomic force microscopy, investigating interactions between bacteriophages and bacteria. Or, at least, as the title says, between T4 adhesin with lipopolysaccharides from bacteria. This was done by modifying an AFM tip with the adhesin from the bacteriophage T4 and using this tip to […]
It’s been a long time coming, but finally the paper is out. Published in Sensors and Actuators B – Chemical, the work on capturing viruses on silver nanowires started several years ago and went through several iterations and improvements before coming out. The research, which is mainly a collaboration between […]
