Frank gave a talk about  his master thesis research project entitled “Structural analysis of organic inorganic dye@TiO2 hybrid materials” at this year’s Electron Microscopy in Sciences Workshop organized by ZEISS. We congratulate Frank for a great and inspiring talk! [Read more]

Fabián’s poster entitled “Imidazole containing compounds as intracellular pH sensors” was awarded the Best Poster Award at the Konstanz Research School – Chemical Biology Retreat 2022. Congratulations to Fabian for his amazing work! [Read more]

We are very happy to welcome Frederic to our group for a short research stay on the design and development of 3D printed devices for flow reactor synthesis. We wish Frederich a great time in the lab! [Read more]

We are delighted to welcome Tobias, who recently joined our group to perform his bachelor thesis on the hydrothermal synthesis heteroaromatic-based polyimides and their processing. We wish Tobias lots of success for his project and a cheerful time in the lab! [Read more]

Our most recent publication entitled “Green Hydrothermal Synthesis Yields Perylenebisimide-SiO2 Hybrid Materials with Solution-Like Fluorescence and Photoredox Activity ” was recently featured in the German newspaper Südkurier. To read the article, please access here [only available in german] [Read more]

We are excited to share our latest cover page! The cover of the 24^th issue of the Journal of Materials Chemistry A accompanies our latest publication on hydrothermally synthesized perylenebisimides-SiO₂ hybrid materials. In our manuscript, we report the intricacies of synthesizing hybrids in one-pot using nothing but water. [Read more]

We are very happy to welcome Katharina, who joined our group in June 2022 to perform her bachelor thesis on the exploration of synthesis and processing of polyimide-based compounds. We wish Katharina all the success for her project! [Read more]

Hipassia’s first author publication “Green Hydrothermal Synthesis Yields Perylenebisimide-SiO2 Hybrid Materials with Solution-Like Fluorescence and Photoredox Activity” just appeared online (open access) in J. Mater. Chem A! We show that dye-metal oxide hybrid materials can be generated, with covalent linking of the components, in one pot in solely hot water. [Read more]
