Have a look at a recently published paper in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces for which the HyMaD group designed and synthesized the bithiophene ammonium salt for use as a passivation layer on top of a 3D perovskite in a p-i-n solar cell: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10… imo-imomec EnergyVille #materiomics

We are happy to announce that Wouter Van Gompel will as of today be appointed as assistant professor in the chemistry department Universiteit Hasselt imo-imomec. He will be leading the HyMaD group together with emeritus prof. Dirk Vanderzande. On to more exciting hybrid materials research!

We are happy to see that our latest perspective on the opportunities and challenges of 2D perovskites containing conjugated cations has been included in the J. Mater. Chem. family C HOT article collection: xlink.rsc.org/?doi=10.1039/D…

Unlocking potential in hybrid perovskite solar cells! 🔬🌞A new research reveals the vital role of organic molecules in the photophysical and charge transport properties.🌱⚡️ Read the paper: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… #Research #RenewableEnergy

HyMaD is looking forward to #MATSUS24 next week! Group leader Wouter Van Gompel will present in the #2DPero symposium on the 6th at 4pm about recently published work on interlayer charge transfer in 2D #perovskite. Stijn Lenaers will present a poster in the #COMPER24 symposium.

Have a look at our just published manuscript in Inorganic Chemistry about inter- and intramolecular H-bonding and interdigitation in the organic layer of 2D #perovskite. Thanks to all collaborators from Kristof Van Hecke - XStruct CoCooN and the CMN group at UMons! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Attending the MRS Spring Meeting next week? HyMaD members Wouter Van Gompel and Arthur Maufort will present recent research on 2D #perovskite in the QT3 symposium on the 23rd and the 24th! #MRSSpring2024 #S24MRS mrs.org/meetings-event…

We are open to hosting MSCA postdoc candidates to work with us on topics such as chiral perovskites, synthesis of interlayers for #perovskite devices, and crystallization of 2D perovskites. Please send your CV to [email protected] imo-imomec …sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/calls/msca-pos…

Had fruitful visits to ETH Zurich (Maksym Kovalenko group Maksym Kovalenko) and Hasselt University (Wouter Van Gompel group Hybrid Materials Design). Thanks for the hospitality. Both the science and the food were fantastic!

Congrats to Hybrid Materials Design member Robin Erkens and 7 other imo-imomec researchers for being awarded a prestigious PhD fellowship by FWO!

Check out our just-published paper in The Journal of Physical Chemistry together with the group of Paulina Plochocka at LNCMI Toulouse and Wroclaw University on engineering the effective mass of charge carriers in 2D #perovskite via tuning of the octahedral distortion: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

There is an exciting #PhD position open at IMEC (Diepenbeek, Belgium) on synthesis of #perovskite for floating-gate transistors towards neuromorphic computing. Interested candidates can apply via the link below until Dec 15th 2024. imec-int.com/en/work-at-ime… imec imo-imomec

Now out in Adv. Funct. Mater. (Advanced Portfolio News). We analyzed 3 novel phosphonic acids (PAs) as HTL in #perovskite solar cells. A pyrene-based PA resulted in enhanced surface coverage of ITO and improved stability and efficiency compared to 2PACz. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad… imo-imomec

Congrats to HyMaD member Dr. Arthur Maufort for successfully defending his Ph.D.! We wish Arthur all the best in his future endeavors. At the same time, HyMaD welcomes a new Ph.D. student, Arne Verding. Looking forward to doing great research together! imo-imomec Universiteit Hasselt

Proud to share the first HyMaD publication of 2025, in Chemical Science. We studied piezochromism and thermochromism in 2D #perovskites containing a rigid organic bilayer. We also contribute to the discussion on bulk vs. surface emission. #MyFirstChemSci doi.org/10.1039/D4SC06…

Check out this paper just out in Adv. Mater. to which HyMaD contributed: advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… We studied single-triplet annihilation which outcompetes energy transfer in quasi-2D #perovskite thin films, hindering amplified spontaneous emission.
