By combining biomolecules with conductive materials, new possibilities emerge, like growing high aspect ratio gold nanowires in microtubules! Why is this needed? Why are they using biomolecules? And How do they do it? doi.org/10.1021/acs.nanolett… 1/6🧵

Once the AuNPs are inside, they add a gold precursor and a reducing agent i.e. they add gold ions that will grow particles. Since all is happening inside the MTs, the spherical particles will become a wire. 5/6🧵

Fabrication on flexible plastic films makes them highly attractive for soft tissue electronics. For stretchable OLEDs, a new approach is the recently synthesized 2D metal aerogels in Prof. Alexander Eychmüller’s group at TU Dresden.

Her project aims to use these 2D gold and silver aerogel electrodes which can possibly form highly conductive sheets over macroscopic areas at high yield and quality, and integrate them into flexible OLEDs.

Perovskite QDs are highly promising for application in photovoltaic due to their excellent optoelectronic properties but they're prone to degrade. To enhance their stability, her project aims to coat the QDs with a thin shell of PbX and monitor their evolution over time.

Organic/molecular electronic materials composed of abundant elements are a promising alternative to silicon-based semiconductors. Introducing weak hydrogen bonds allows flexibility, stretchability or even self-healing and enables fabricating high-performance devices!
