Ewelina and co-authors had a chapter accepted to the book “Surface Modified Nanomaterials for Applications in Catalysis: Fundamentals, Methods and Applications”, edited by Manoj Gawande, Chaudhery Mustansar Hussain, and Yusuke Yamauchi, and to be published by Elsevier some time during next year. A brief description of the chapter reads as: […]

During the summer, a new paper appeared in ChemElectroChem in the memorial issue to Jeam-Michel Saveant. which looks at the influence the solvent has on generation of H2O2 at a liquid|liquid interface. This is the latest paper in a long series of articles in the collaboration between Opałło and Hubert […]
We just published an article combining electrochemistry and interferometry in a microcavity. This work was done in collaboration with colleagues from Warsaw University of Technology and the National Institute of Telecommunications, who are responsible for the optics part of the work. The experiment is based on a microcavity in-line Mach-Zehnder […]
Pillararenes were introduced as a novel class of macrocyclig host molecules in 2008 when 1,4-dimethoxypillar[5]arene (P5A) was synthesised. The pillararenes are similar in structure to the better known cyclodextrins or calixarenes and they can also form host-guest complexes with smallish molecules that can fit into their cavities. In a recent […]
Another paper has come out in the silver nanostructure series with our neighbours in the Surface Nanoengineering group and the Maćkowski group in Toruń. This time the focus is on silver island paths – basically SIFs deposited along lines on a substrate. The idea here, as the title indicates, is to use the contrast between fluorescence enhancement on […]
We are glad to share the first paper related to one of our research projects: “Microfluidic System for Solar Energy Conversion”. In this project, we seek to answer how to use renewable energy sources in the most efficient way to carry out a more eco-friendly chemical reaction? Following the current […]
After what feels like a very long journey, our article on ion transfer in paper using an electrochemical pen has finally been publishedThe seed to this started several years ago as a sketch during a meeting. The idea was to do standard ion transfer, but with the aqueous and organic […]
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases. The first time it was described 100 years ago; however, up to now, it is mysterious. According to the most accepted theory, development of this disease is connected to the interactions of copper ions with peptides called beta-amyloids. The […]
After a long haul, our paper describing three-phase experiments with a new hydrophobic Ru-complex redox-probe was finally published in Electrochimica Acta. This work is a collaboration between our group and Prof. Masa-Aki Haga’s at Chuo University in Tokyo. About two years ago Haga visited our institute and gave a talk, […]
We just published a review-article in ChemElectroChem on paper-based electrochemical devices. Instead of a classic review of the published literature (of which there are plenty for paper-based devices) we opted to write a more practical guide for what to consider when making your first forays into the jungle of paper-based […]
