About the M2N research group

Welcome to the Molecular Materials and Nanosystems (M2N) research group. The M2N group is an interdepartmental research group at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), active in the Departments of Applied Physics and Chemical Engineering and Chemistry. It brings together researchers from these two fields and aims at establishing a coherent research and educational program on the physics and chemistry of functional nanostructured organic and inorganic molecular materials and devices.

News

  • 2 March 2025 A warm welcome to Pugs Anancia Devaneyan who started his PhD today.
  • 26 February 2025 Today the paper of Kunal Datta and Simone van Laar has been published in Nature Communications. It reveals the origin and consequence of surface wrinkling in wide-bandgap perivskites. The work is the resukt of a collaboration with many colleagues in the US. You are invited to read the story behind the paper: Ups and Downs: How Perovskite Films Wrinkle.
  • 17 February 2025 Today Kunal Datta joined our group as a postdoc. We welcome him back to our laboratories after he spent two years in Georgia Tech.
  • 24 January 2025 Congratulations to Nanno de Rooij  who successfully defended his MSc thesis“Describing Exciplexes as a Photophysically Active Species".
  • 2 January 2025 The joint first author paper of Junke Wang and Bruno Branco Performance and stability analysis of all-perovskite tandem photovoltaics in light-driven electrochemical water splitting has been published in Nature Communications today.
  • 23 December 2024 Today the paper Steering perovskite precursor solutions for multijunction photovoltaics of Shuaifeng Hu and Junke Wang in Henry Snaith’s group at Oxford University was published in Nature. From our lab Guus Aalbers and Nick Schipper were involved. It was a genuine pleasure to contribute to this excellent piece work on multijunction perovskite photovoltaics.
