Zehui published her first PhD paper in Electrochimica Acta as part of the special issue of the 8th ISEECap 2024.The study systematically investigates the influence of nitrogen functionalities and content in nitrogen-rich carbon materials, specifically carbon/carbon nitride nanohybrids, on their performance as electrode materials in electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) using ionic liquid electrolyte.

Leila Abylgazina joins the group as a PostDoc working on the BMBF-funded project WaNaWa (Wasserstoffspeicherung in Nanowasser). The project aims to develop hydrogen storage technology with high working capacity and optimal operating conditions. To achieve this, porous carbons loaded with water are selected as promising materials due to their high surface area, tunable pore size, and reversible adsorption capabilities. Welcome to Jena Leila!

For the next 6 month, Giuseppe Greco visits our group as an exchange PhD student from the University di Salento in Lecce. In his PhD, he works on polymer/carbon hybrids for capacitors under the supervision of Prof. C. Esposito Corcione and Prof. C. Mele. In our group, he will extend his knowledge of carbon materials in this area under the supervision of Tilmann. Welcome, Giuseppe!

Today, we welcomed Rosalba A. Rincón and Sandra González Gallardo, both Wiley-VCH editors in our institute. We enjoyed a great workshop about how to publish with Wiley and are very happy for the many insights the workshop gave us. Thanks for visiting us in Jena!

Maximilian van der Voort joins the BMBF-funded project WaNaWa (Wasserstoffspeicherung in Nanowasser) as a PhD student. Together with the Borchardt group (RUB), the von Domaros group (FSU) and the IKTS, he will study H2-clathrates in water. Welcome to the team Max!

Why did my manuscript not make the cut? If you ever have had such a question, the "Opening the Editor's Black Box" Workshop on Jan 27th in the lecture hall of IAAC with presentations of Rosalba A. Rincón and Sandra González Gallardo, both Wiley-VCH editors, is a perfect fit for you.
