Wojtek is the main author of a new paper published in J. Phys. Chem. C on hydrogen peroxide generation at liquid|liquid interfaces. This is the latest in a series of papers (e.g. 1-5) about various reactions at the interface between immiscible liquids published in collaboration with Hubert Girault’s group in […]

Alex Smyth from University of Leicester has been visiting Warsaw for a few days to discuss what he will be doing during his further secondment to our group. Alex is a PhD student in the Intrepid Forensics project and his original research plans involved fingerprints and electrowetting, but now only […]
It took some time, but finally, in a paper in Electrochimica Acta, results from Marcin’s master thesis were published. In this paper a layer-by-layer method is used to create an electrode with carbon nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes with opposite charges. The electrode was then used for detection of thiocholine at […]
Congratulations to Dawid who was awarded one of Etiuda stipends from the National Science Centre with a project with the very general title “Badanie procesu transferu jonów na granicy ciecz|ciecz w warunkach mikroprzepływowych” (“Investigation of ion transfer at the liquid|liquid interface under microfluidic conditions”). The stipend will allow Dawid to […]
Martin just came home after visiting the 15th ECHEMS meeting organised by Prof. Gunther Wittstock and Prof. Mehtap Özaslan from the University of Oldenburg. The conference took place in the old spa-resort Bad Zwischenahn just outside Oldenburg. The conference was very well organised and the general scientific standard of the […]
Martin had some part in a new publication in Nanoscale where electrorefining of gold from an ultramicroelectrode was used to deposit nanoparticles on an ITO electode. By changing the deposition conditions the structures could be tailored to some degree for efficient oxygen reduction or to be used a relatively well […]
In this year’s “Young researchers” competition in the institute our small group managed to nab two awards. Wojtek was one of the winners in the PhD category, and Dawid was among the winners in the student group. Congratulations to the both of you! Beers are on you next time.
The results of the latest application round from the Polish National Science Centre were announced this week. It was a good day for our groups, with a 100% application success rate. Wojtek had applied for a Sonata grant that was financed for two years. The title of the project is […]
We just had a paper published in the Journal of Power Sources.* This paper has been a long time coming. It was work started ages ago by Robert and Adrianna. The goal was to make a photoelectrochemical biofuel cell (PECBFC) based on a dye-sensitised titanium oxide nanotube photoanode and an […]
Today Martin officially was given the title doktor habilitowany. His thoughts on that can be found on his private webpage, here. The summary of his habilitation, with the title “Enzymatic oxygen reduction on carbon nanotube modified electrodes” can be read here.
