We were excited to welcome Dr Diego Bagnis, Chief Scientific Officer at CSEM Brasil for a seminar on “From-Lab-to-Fab: Challenge Comparison about Scale-up of Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaic” and a day of talks on printed solar cells.

Chiara presented a poster of her MRes work on the stability of NFAs for OPV at the Plastic Electronics CDT Symposium 2019.

Joel presented his late stage review on his work on Fully scalable inverted organic solar cells for low-light applications and the role of light-soaking at the Plastic Electronics CDT Symposium.

At the Plastic Electronics CDT Symposium, Mátyás presented a talk on Energy level tuning of perovskite layers for efficient integrated perovskite/bulk heterojunction solar cells.

We were pleased to welcome Professor Antoine Kahn to our group for a day of exciting discussions on energetics, OPV, perovskite and sensors.

Welcome to Katia Pagano who will be joining our group in October.

Saurav presented his paper on the burn-in degradation of OPV solar cells at the inaugaural Solar Materials Journal Club.

Ella, Katie and Joel presented posters at this years Post Graduate Research Physics Symposium.

Mátyás, Saurav and Hao presented talks at this years Post Graduate Research Physics Symposium.

Mátyás presented his work on the energy level tuning of perovskite layers at Perovskite Solar and Optoelectronics Day at the University of Oxford.

Katie and Ella attended a Science Communication: What’s the Story course at the Royal Institution were they learnt about storytelling in science.

Chiara and Amber went to visit the new Chemistry cleanroom in White City to make OPVs as part of their MRes.

The CPE Symposium was concluded by an interesting talk by Jess Wade on The origins of circularly polarised luminescence in polymer light emitting diodes.

Many Nanoanalysis group members presented posters at the CPE Annual Symposium 2019 including Joel presenting his work on placement in csem brasil.

While in Budapest, we visited the Centre for Colloid Chemistry at Budapest University of Technology and Economics where we had a talk and a lab tour.

On the final day of the Hybrid Electronics workshop, we hosted a journal club where we looked at recent review papers covering our groups main research activities, OPV, OPD, perovskite and biosensing.

As a team building activity, we had an escape room where both teams escaped with 8 and 10 minutes left on the clock.

The scientific programme of the workshop consisted of members talks detailing the ongoing work in terms of the papers to publish or thesis chapters.

The Nanoanalysis group went to Budapest for the 3rd Hybrid Electronics Project Workshop

Welcome to our new Post Doc, Gabseok Seo. He as joined the Nanoanlysis group in May to work in Organic and Hybrid Electronic Materials and Devices

Saurav completed a 1-week experiments/discussion program in Samsung R&D Department (South Korea). “It was a unique experience, albeit just a week, in working on such a leading industrial giant”.

Today Joel starts a 10 week placement with his industrial sponsor CSEM Brasil. We look forward to hearing about all the exiting work he does during his time there.

This week the CPE hosted the second workshop between Imperial College and Tokyo Tech on electronic plastic, organic and hybrid materials. There were many great talks from both Imperial and Tokyo Tech academics on a variety of interesting topics.

Nanoanalysis were pleased to welcome Mary Erskine school to visit Imperial College. The girls were given talks and demonstrations from many wonderful researchers in Physics, Materials and Electrical and Electronic Engineering. A particular favourite was the first response medical drone, MediAI.

The Nanoanalysis held their annual Christmas get together with current members and alumi. This year, we enjoyed a round of crazy golf followed by a Thai meal.

We had a regular exciting group away day in York which is a very beautiful and traditional city. After the summary presentations for whole year work and future plans, we enjoyed nice sunshine, soccer, escape rooms, Korean language course and Korean-Chinese foods. Thanks Sooncheol and his wife for the preparation of delicious Korean sandwiches and rice roll.

Congratulations to Joel for the MRes graduation!

Congratulation to Prof Ji-Seon Kim who has been nominated for a Student Academic Choice Award (SACA)!!! The SACAs are an annual awards initiative organised by Imperial College Union that give Imperial students the chance to recognise and reward excellence among staff.

Our group had a good trip to Portsmouth. During this trip, we did presentations first about our present works and future plans. Then we had an interesting escape game, walked through Old Postsmouth and enjoyed fish and chips on the beach. Finally, we viewed the Gunwarf Quays which is the famous place in Portsmouth.

Ji-Seon, James, Saurav, Sooncheol and Hao attended the 4th International Workshop on Nano and Biophotonics in the Vogue, France (IWNBP). The meeting covered multidisciplinary disciplines in optics, chemistry, physics, and materials sciences for photonic device applications. In this conference, we also have an excursion and visited the Chauvet Cave, one of the most ancient decorated caves in the world.

Ji-Seon, Sooncheol and Joel all visited South Korea this autumn. Ji-Seon and Sooncheol attended The 2017 Korea Photovoltaic Society (KPVC) Fall Meeting, at which Ji-Seon was an invited speaker. Sooncheol and Joel both visited Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST)

Our annual Group Christmas Event was an instant success with assembly of current students and alumni.

Congratulations to Seb and all authors on his paper "Understanding the relationship between molecular order and charge transport properties in conjugated polymer based organic blend photovoltaic devices" which has placed fourth on the Journal of Chemical Physics' list of the 25 most accessed articles of 2014.

Jess and Saurav visit Cambridge Display Technology to talk about OPV stability.

The Nanoanalysis Group visit ETRI in South Korea

We had a great time sharing our work with visitors at the Imperial Science Festival 2014.

Nanoanalysis celebrated Christmas with a Group Christmas Party.
