On 10th of June 2022, Ginevra presented her work in an oral communication entitled A Straightforward Synthesis for Heteroleptic Silver (I) complexes bearing NHC and Dinitrogenated ligands. She presented a new inexpensive and fast approach for the synthesis of Ag (I) heteroleptic complexes with different N-Heterocyclic Carbenes and 2,2´-dipyridylamine ligands.

In the frame of the European Climate Pact and the Bürgerstiftung Straubing, we participated in the KinderUni Straubing initiative with a lecture about “How Nature produces its own light”. We talked together about sustainable approaches using proteins and living materials as active components of LEDs. It was a great experience that we will repeat next year!! Thanks a lot to Stephanie Grümbel, Sophia Lipinski, Kelly Lim-Trinh, Marco Hasler and Alexander Mauz with the organization of the exciting experiments.

Our new book chapter entitled “ Applying Ionic Transition Metal Complexes to Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells” has been published in Springer Handbook of Inorganic Photochemistry. It has been a great pleasure to contribute to this great action!

We are very happy for the Award ON ZIENTZIA entitled „Argiztapen artifizial… naturala?“ of Alain Sorazu, Alfredo Rodríguez, Kimberlyn Fonseca Pérez and Morgane Goyens, students of the máster de ilustración científica at the UPV/EHU (Spain). This young group was inspired by our European Project ARTIBLED – https://bfm.cs.tum.de/research/artibled/?lang=en. The jury has highlighted „it is a magnificent work of animation that perfectly integrates different techniques and has been able to clearly communicate a current research using an attractive aesthetic, and successfully combining music and effects“. This is a great example of the relevance of ARTIBLED to set in the sustainable technological future that we are looking forward.

We and all the collaborators/friends are very grateful for the Royal Society of Chemistry for this honor!
We keep working hard to meet the high expectations!

A team of scientists from across Europe have been named the winner of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Dalton Division Horizon Prize, celebrating the most exciting chemical science taking place today. Among them is the the team of Prof. Rubén Costa, head of the Chair for Biogenic Funcitonal Materials at TUM Campus Straubing.

We are very grateful that our joint initiative has been approved for funding. This will help us to explore new concepts in bio-hybrid materials for energy in collaboration with our colleagues Prof. Mauri and Dr. Anaya.

On the 1st of June 2022, Luca presented our latest results at E-MRS Spring Meeting 2022 and contextually he has been awarded with the prestigious Young Researcher Award from European Materials Research Society.

On the 1st of June 2022 (second anniversary of our Chair), Luca presented our latest results at E-MRS Spring Meeting 2022 with a focus on biogenic electrolytes for lighting. He presented promising results obtained with cellulose-based polyelectrolyte applied in light-emitting electrochemical cells.
