New contribution about our red-emitting silver(I) complex for LECs is out now

Find out more about Sophia’s and Luca’s latest contribution “Dual-Phosphorescent Heteroleptic Silver(I) Complex in Long-Lasting Red Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells” on Advanced Optical Materials. We report a new complex design strategy towards a dual-phosphorescent, red-emitting silver(I) complex with high electrochemical stability, resulting in long-lasting red light-emitting electrochemical cells.

We and all the collaborators/friends are very grateful for the Royal Society of Chemistry for this honor!
It highlights the most important aspects of our joint effort to solve a 25 years-old challenges.

New paper out on Advanced Functional Materials about phosphors based on phycobiliproteins

Read more about Marco´s latest contribution “Fully Biogenic Near-Infrared Phosphors: Phycobiliproteins and Cellulose at Force Toward Highly Efficient and Stable Bio-Hybrid Light-Emitting Diodes” on Advanced Functional Materials. The paper shows the stabilization of the phycobiliprotein smURFP in a novel cellulose-based matrix, achieving stable Near-Infrared Bio-HLEDs.

On the race to WSS100 !!

We were recently honored by the Werner Siemens Foundation (WSS) “Project of the Century” competition winning the first step WSS research prize of 1 million Swiss francs to prepare us for the competition of a research center for 100 millions action. It is a pleasure to participate in this consortium led by Prof. Asseng focused on agricultural research with the ambitious goal on “Revolution of Food Production” where our bio-hybrid lighting and photovoltaic systems will play a major role.
