Optimizing Li-ion battery separators
In order to make Li-ion batteries safer, Marie Francine Lagadec, who did her PhD in our group from 2014 to 2018, looks deep into the material structure of the separator. Get to know more about this project in the video.
Move from IIS to IfE
Materials and Device Engineering Group now part of the Institute for Electronics
MaDE Group participates at the "Kangaroo goes Science" event
The 100 best girls from this year's Kangaroo competition were invited to spend a day at ETH on June 21, 2018. In the afternoon, two groups of ten girls each visited our lab to fabricate their own Die-Sensitized Solar Cells with natural dies from berries. We tested them out in the sun and all solar cells were functioning devices. Well done, girls!

Behind the Paper: More About Our Recent Nature Communications Publication
One reason for capacity fade in lithium ion batteries - that pesky phenomena that results in you getting progressively less and less talk time on your mobile phone as your battery ages - is in part due to mechanical degradation that occurs in batteries at nanometer lengths scales.
