As a nice New Year’s gift, our article about Amyloid-β adsorbed at the ITIES was published in ACS Electrochemistry. In this paper, we investigate the behaviour of two different peptides, Aβ(1-16) and Aβ(4-16), at the liquid|liquid interface. There are many publication describing the adsorption of proteins at the ITIES (e.g. […]

The follow-up to Julia’s previous publication on assisted ion transfer at the three-phase junction was a long time coming. As in the previous paper, we used a squaramide-based ionophore to help transferring hydrophilic ions across the interface between to immiscible liquids, but here, the ionophore was functionalised with a ferrocene […]
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, […]
Julia is nearing the end of her 2.5-month internship at Curtin University in Perth. She joined the research group of Professor Damien Arrigan to expand her knowledge of ion transfer measurements between two immiscible liquids (ITIES). At the beginning of March she and Martin travelled to Perth to plan for […]
In March, Bren, Julia and Martin travelled to Limerick to visit our collaborators in Micheál Scanlon’s research group at the Bernal Institute at the University of Limerick. Martin and Julia stayed for a few days to learn more about AC voltammetry in liquid|liquid systems. Many thanks to Nicolas for his […]
Angelika joined the team as a new postdoc coming from our colleagues at the University of Limerick in Ireland. Angelika did her undergraduate and her PhD at Ulm University in Germany at the Institute of Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Christine Kranz. Her work was focused […]
Martin just had a grant accepted from NCN for studying “Ion-transfer between immiscible liquids in a paper-based setup”. The project will continue the studies that were published in this paper. The main goal of the project is to investigate and try to overcome the factors limiting the sensitivity of paper-based […]
During the summer, a new paper appeared in ChemElectroChem in the memorial issue to Jeam-Michel Saveant. which looks at the influence the solvent has on generation of H2O2 at a liquid|liquid interface. This is the latest paper in a long series of articles in the collaboration between Opałło and Hubert […]
Arriving from Australia to Poland in the middle of winter and in the middle of a pandemic is a harsh transition, but we are extremely happy to have our second PD2PI postdoc, Dr Bren Mark Felisilda, finally being able to join us. Bren did his MSc. in Hanbat National University […]
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 […]
