We are on the TV!!
Rubén had the opportunity to give a small insight into our research to a wide audience. He was featured in the show „alles wissen“ on hr-fernsehen.

We are on the news!!
It is a great honor that our recent publication in Adv. Mater. has been highlighted by several social media!
Below you can find a nice description on our recent on using multivarite analysis to design first class blue and white copper(I) complexes for ionic based thin film lighting devices.
Enjoy the read…more is coming soon.
Nice meeting with old and future collaborators
Rubén hold a lecture on the strategies towards sustainable thin-film lighting systems in the SFB-Kolloquium organized by the U. Heidelberg.
Fruitful scientific discussions with old collaborators (Prof. Kivala and Mastalerz) and new collaborations on going.
Special thanks to Milan for organizing this excellent time!!
Helle, stabile und leicht zu recycelnde Beleuchtung
Eine kostengünstige und einfach herzustellende Beleuchtungstechnik kann mit lichtemittierenden elektrochemischen Zellen erfolgen. Bei solchen Zellen handelt es sich um elektronische und ionische Dünnschichtbauteile, die nach Anlegen einer niedrigen Spannung Licht erzeugen. Forschende haben jetzt mit Hilfe einer umfangreichen Datenanalyse aus Kupfer-Komplexen erstklassige elektrochemische Zellen geschaffen, die blaues und weißes Licht emittieren.
Congratulations to Luca for the new contribution published on Advanced Functional Materials!
Thanks to the fruitful collaboration with Universidad de La Rioja, a new family of sustainable and biogenic electrolytes for lighting has been introduced! Our cellulose-based active layer showed high performance and self-stability.
We welcome our new team member Ginevra Giobbio
We are very pleased to welcome our new team member Ginevra Giobbio.
She is a PhD student working under the supervision of both Dr. Sylvain Gaillard (University of Caen, France) and Prof. Dr. Rubén D. Costa (Technische Universität München, Germany). This shared project aims at developing new electroluminescent earth abundant transition metal complexes and their implementation in light-emitting electrochemical cells (LEC).
Check out our latest contribution on Angewandte Chemie!
We employed chalcogen-bonded p-type semiconducting ribbons as hole transport layers in light-emitting electrochemical cells achieving on par performances with state-of-art semiconductors! Thanks to the great collaboration and the European funding ITN-ETN project STiBNite.

Huge Success in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship!!
Dr. Kumer and Dr. Zieleniewska have been awarded with the MSCA fellowship to work on designing new emitters for thin-film lighting devices and dual devices for light and temperature management, respectively. In addition, another fellow is on the reserve list. We keep finger crossed!!
Thanks to the European Commission for funding these new idea!
Congrats to Rubén for his new role as Ambassador of the European Climate Pact !
Rubén has been accepted as European Climate Pact Ambassador with a strong commitment in education to all public on climate action. In this context, we have already prepared a TUM Campus Straubing pledge. The range of pledges is extremely varied, seeking to address climate change, environmental degradation and, more broadly, sustainability.

Great honor to participate as Keynote speaker 6th International School and Conference on Biological Materials Science Bioinspired Materials 2022 held in Kostenz!!!
Rubén has shown our recent results in bio-hybrid light-emitting diodes and solar cells in the BioINSP conference https://dgm.de/bioinsp/2022/.
Fruitful scientific bio-inspired discussions and new collaborations.
Special thanks to Prof. Zollfrank and Petra Peklo as well as the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Materialkunde (DGM) for organizing this excellent conference!!
