"2D-Paper" proposes to combine 2D materials and cellulose to create a new thermally conductive paper substrate for flexible electronics.

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.

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.

Photosynthetic materials, two-dimensional noble metals and sustainable semiconductors are some of the projects at LiU that have been granted funding from the research programme Wallenberg initiative materials science for sustainability – WISE.

Do ordered polymer chains increase the conductivity of plastic? Newly developed are more conductive, but for completely different reasons – according to researchers from LiU and Stanford University, in an article in the highly ranked journal PNAS.

Dan Zhao and Simone Fabiano at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics have created a thermoelectric organic transistor. A temperature rise of a single degree is sufficient to cause a detectable current modulation in the transistor.

Researchers at the Laboratory for Organic Electronics have created a supercondenser that can be charged by the sun. It contains no expensive or hazardous materials, has patents pending, and it,s possible to manufacture it on an industrial scale.

Researchers at LiU’s Laboratory of Organic Electronics have developed power paper – a new material with an outstanding ability to store energy. The material consists of nanocellulose and a conductive polymer.

Using semi-conductive polymers, both analog and digital electronic circuits can be created inside living flowers, bushes and trees, as researchers at Laboratory for Organic Electronics have shown. The results are being published in Science Advances.

Xavier Crispin, professor of Organic Electronics at LiU, is receiving this year’s Göran Gustafsson Prize in Chemistry. The prize is one of the most coveted and prestigious among younger researchers in Sweden.
