Julia is nearing the end of her 2.5-month internship at Curtin University in Perth. She joined the research group of Professor Damien Arrigan to expand her knowledge of ion transfer measurements between two immiscible liquids (ITIES). At the beginning of March she and Martin travelled to Perth to plan for […]

In March, Bren, Julia and Martin travelled to Limerick to visit our collaborators in Micheál Scanlon’s research group at the Bernal Institute at the University of Limerick. Martin and Julia stayed for a few days to learn more about AC voltammetry in liquid|liquid systems. Many thanks to Nicolas for his […]
Angelika joined the team as a new postdoc coming from our colleagues at the University of Limerick in Ireland. Angelika did her undergraduate and her PhD at Ulm University in Germany at the Institute of Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Christine Kranz. Her work was focused […]
Martin just had a grant accepted from NCN for studying “Ion-transfer between immiscible liquids in a paper-based setup”. The project will continue the studies that were published in this paper. The main goal of the project is to investigate and try to overcome the factors limiting the sensitivity of paper-based […]
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 […]
Arriving from Australia to Poland in the middle of winter and in the middle of a pandemic is a harsh transition, but we are extremely happy to have our second PD2PI postdoc, Dr Bren Mark Felisilda, finally being able to join us. Bren did his MSc. in Hanbat National University […]
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 […]
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, […]
Continuing our investigations of the behaviour of various redox probes at three-phase electrodes we have just published a paper looking at TCNQ (7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane) in a standard droplet-based setup. The reason we choose TCNQ is that it’s a quinone related to the ones we studied in our previous publication on transfer […]
We’re on a roll. Another cation transfer paper was accepted1, also in Electrochimica Acta. This is work done by Marta and our undergrad student Julia. They were investigating transfer of cations at the three-phase junction driven by reduction of the fullerene C60 and facilitated by the addition of ionophores to […]
