Two years after the original grant, the procurement of the next generation advanced scanning transmission electron microscope, has finally concluded.

Vanya Darakchieva and Per Persson, both at IFM, Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology, each receive 15 million from SSF for the expansion of research infrastructure at LiU.

The Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability, WISE, donates SEK 44 million to Linköping University for new scientific equipment that will contribute to cutting-edge materials research.

Materials that are incredibly thin exhibit unique properties that make them appealing for energy storage, catalysis and water purification. LiU-researchers have developed a method that enables the synthesis of hundreds of new 2D materials.

In 2022 the research program approved its first ever PhD and Postdoc projects. Out of the 18 approved projects from LiU, nine came from IFM.

Using a “chemical scissor”, thin materials can be tailored even at atom level. This is shown in a study published in Science. The results pave the way for new materials for use in future sustainable energy production, energy storage and electronics.

n 2021, the Swedish Research Council awarded three researchers Starting Grants and seven researchers a Project Grant at IFM.

Several projects at Linköping University are to receive grants for the development of research infrastructure. The total amount is of the order of a hundred million Swedish crowns, and decades of work are now bearing fruit.
