We gained new insights into the key role of the binder material in suprabeads, i.e. supraparticles fixed on beads. This work was just accepted by ACS Applied Nano Materials. Zimmermann T., Fischer C., Oppmann M., Wenderoth S., Winzer B., Somorowsky F., Vogel N., Mandel K., Wintzheimer S.* Key Ro...

We are happy to welcome our new group member Romain. Romain Conan completed his studies at the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées and Paul Sabatier University, Toulouse, France, with an Engineering Diploma of physics and a Master of Science degree in Nanosciences. He started his PhD at ...

We are happy to welcome our new group member Jakob. Jakob Endres completed his studies at the University of Würzburg with a Master of Science degree in Functional Materials. During his studies, he focused on investigating smart materials and novel spectroscopic methods relevant for energy technol...

ACS just accepted our recent work with colleagues from the Fraunhofer ISC and Fraunhofer IMM as an article in Chem & Bio Engineering. It describes hydrogen peroxide producing supraparticles as tailorable photocatalysts for flow chemistry reactions. Herbig B.,* Cermjani E., Hanselmann D., Schm...

Markus Heinlein completed his Master of Science degree this year in our group focusing on the relation of magnetic interactions within and between supraparticles. Continuing with his research in the Supraparticle Group, he started his PhD thesis in November 2024 and will contribute to our efforts...

We say goodbye to Juanjo, who has been our colleague for the last couple months. He stayed in the Supraparticle Group as a visiting PhD student from Argentinia to study inductively heatable molecular switches based on co-doped ferrites and catechol derivatives coordination.

In a great collaboration with the team of Alan Lyons (City University of New York) and the colleagues from the Fraunhofer ISC, we demonstrate how to contribute to enhanced self-cleaning of glass, partly coated with dagger-shaped features from silica nanoparticles. The article was just accepted in So...

Congratulations Susanne and Karma Zuraiqi (RMIT) and who pulled this together, and Torben Daeneke, Ken Chiang, Julien Bachmann and Peter Wasserscheid who are co-CI's for this grant.   This mobility grant allows researchers from Germany and Australia to engage in an exchange of ideas regar...

Congratulations to Jakob for having successfully finished his PhD. Jakob did a fantastic job: his thesis on "Supraparticle designs for micrometer-sized information providers" was graded with summa cum laude!

At the first Battery Direct Recycling Conference held in Würzburg, Sara Li Deuso gave an insight into her research on magnetic supraparticles as identifiers in single-layer lithium-ion battery pouch cells. She received an award for the best poster - including a nice t-shirt! More on the topic can...
