Die Selbstorganisation einzelner organischer Moleküle in größere, komplexere Strukturen ist ein essenzieller Prozess in der Natur und von großer Bedeutung in der modernen Forschung. Ein herausragendes Beispiel hierfür aus der Natur ist das Chlorophyll. In diesem ermöglicht ein fein abgestimmtes Arr...

Dirk Guldi presenting “Carbon Dots in Action: Advancing from Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells to Photocatalysis” at Pacifichem 2025 in Honolulu. At the Pacifichem 2025 conference in Honolulu, the Guldi group showcased cutting-edge advances in carbon dot research, highlighting how these versatile nanom...

Wenn man das Graphengitter in einzelne, kleinere Segmente zerteilt, erhält man sogenannte Nanographene und Graphen-Nanobänder. Sie verbinden den molekularen Level von kohlenstoffreichen Systemen mit dem der kohlenstoffbasierten Materialien. Die gezielte Synthese von Nanographenen oder -bändern mit ...
