Research Topics
Micrograph: Licklederer Surface chemistry and preparative methodsWe develop molecular surface chemistry towards novel atomic layer deposition (ALD) reactions and processes, we combine it with electrochemical techniques to create original, complex nanostructures with well-defined geometry and tunable structural parameters. J. Mater. Chem. A2019 ,7, 25112-25119 |
Electrode surfaces
ChemElectroChem cover (RSC) We investigate systematically how increases in the specific surface area of a nanoporous electrode are reflected in the current density. ACS Appl. Energy Mater. 2019, 2, 2344-2349 |
Photovoltaics
Micrograph: Minguez Bacho We study how the efficiency of ‘extremely thin absorber’ (ETA) solar cells is affected by the thickness of the light absorbing layer and the other geometric parameters of the nanostructured semiconductor junction. RSC Adv. 2020, 10, 28225-28231 |
Magnetism
Image: Bochmann We create ordered arrays of elongated magnetic nanostructures for data storage application. By introducing structural irregularities along the axis of the structures, we aim to be able to store, read and write many bits of information per object. Phys. Rev. Lett. 2019, 123, 217201 We are involved in organizing the International Workshop on Magnetic Nanowires and Tubes in 2021. |
