In a huge collaboration work involving several groups at FAU, we were able to develop and to mechanistically understand a functional supraparticle to make hydrogen visible for bare eye detection. Read more on this, here.

So far, we succeeded in making particles that carry a unique optical or a unique magnetic ID. In our latest work, we demonstrate that also a combination of an optical ID and a magnetic ID within a single particle can be achieved! Find out more, here.

Last year, we demonstrated that a single supraparticle can carry a unique optical ID. This year, we demonstrate that it is even possible in an all optical system to overlay a second ID and hide a first one and reveal both! Just accepted in Advanced Optical Materials. Read more, here.

Citric acid modification of iron oxide nanoparticles is often conducted but rarely closely looked at. We shed light on this in our latest article just accepted in Particle, entitled “The Significant Influence of the pH Value on Citrate Coordination upon Modification of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide N...

With spray-drying, one can not only join nanoparticles, but also do chemistry in a droplet and crystallize MOFs from molecular precursors in presence of magnetic nanoparticles. The result is a strongly luminescent magnet! More details, here.

Small methods just accepted our collaboration work with the Bachmann group  and the Thommes group at FAU: “Spray-drying and Atomic Layer Deposition: Complementary Tools Towards Fully Orthogonal Control of Bulk Composition and Surface Identity of Multifunctional Supraparticles”.

Andreas has recieved a doctoral scholarship from the Cusanuswerk for his Ph.D. thesis on Interactive magnetic supraparticles in dynamic fluidic environments and their application in water purification and battery recycling processes.

We just got funded a new BMBF project aiming towards contributing to battery recycling. Find out more in the press release by the FAU here.
