2/🧵I spent the last 2 wonderful weeks @upcite.bsky.social as a visiting Professor. I took the bus to go to work every day. It is written at the bus stop that you can buy the ticket from the driver, and so did I: cash only, a bit XX century, but OK...

Today, we uncovered the world of thermoelectrics to 1Y Eng. students @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social . They "competed" 🏆 to build the most performing generator⚡from some materials they characterized. We hope to have convinced young students that materials science is exciting! Thank you to the TAs!

Always enriching and interesting to participate in PhD defenses. This time I got to wear the @uhasselt.bsky.social ‬⁩toga at the PhD defense of Dries Theunissen from ⁦Wouter Maes and Koen Vandewal group. Fresh Dr. Theunissen synthesized some nice wide band gap #OPV materials for indoor use.

2/ In our latest paper published in ACS Appl. Mater. & Interfaces, we showed that brush-printed PEDOT:SS can reach a conductivity of ~ 2000 S/cm without any chemical posttreatment. The boost in conductivity results from shear-induced enhanced crystallinity and anisotropy.
