Laboratory of Organic Electronics (LOE)

About LOE

The Laboratory of Organic Electronics (LOE) is a vibrant, international and collaborative research environment of more than 140 scientists, students, and staff. We design and synthesize functional organic materials and hybrid materials, model and characterize their properties and apply them in an array of areas including energy harvesting and storage, catalysis, printed electronics, photonics, bioelectronics and plant bioelectronics. Our activities span the range from fundamental research to commercialization. An important common theme for our research is materials for sustainable technologies and we are active in several large multi-institutional efforts such as the Wallenberg Wood Science Center (WWSC), the Wallenberg Initiative Material Science for Sustainability (WISE), the Digital Cellulose Center (DCC) and Treesearch. LOE is a collaborative research environment emphasizing knowledge and expertise sharing. LOE operates a large open laboratory environment featuring state-of-the-art facilities for synthesis, characterization and fabrication including cleanroom facilities and equipment, as well as access to the Printed Electronics Arena with a full suite of printing and additive manufacturing tools and techniques. At LOE, the graduate training and research activities are conducted in English.

Individual cells can be connected to plastic electrodes

Researchers at LiU have succeeded in creating a close connection between individual cells and organic electronics. The study lays the foundation for future treatment of neurological and other diseases with very high precision.

Flexible module generates electricity from heat, or cooling and heating from electricity

Imagine a flexible module capable of converting waste heat into electricity, whether the surface it's attached to is flat or curved. This module can also generate heating or cooling from electricity.

The chemistry lab at Campus Norrköping doubles in size

LiU will soon be opening its expanded chemistry laboratory in Norrköping. 500 new square metres will more than double the first premises opened in 2020.
