Christmas!

The end of 2024 and Christmas are just around the corner! During this busy Christmas season, we bid heartfelt farewells to many team members, while also joyfully welcoming several new faces this year!

Of course, we couldn’t miss our annual Christmas party, this year at the lovely Grupo Lounge in Westbury-on-Trym! With delicious food, Secret Santa exchange, and lively Crimbo Bingo, we enjoyed a fantastic and unforgettable evening! 

Wishing all a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year ahead!

New paper in Advanced Materials!

A new manuscript Triphenylamine-Based Conjugated Microporous Polymers as the Next Generation Organic Cathode Materials is now available online in Advanced Materials Early View.

Here, a novel triphenylamine-based porous polymer (LPCMP) is presented as an outstanding lithium-ion battery cathode, delivering 146 mAh g-1 at 3.6 V, high power density, and stability over 1000 cycles, marking a breakthrough for high-energy organic LIBs. These exciting results stem from the close collaboration with colleagues from the National Centre for Nanoscience and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing.

Safa Al Siyabi completes her PhD!

A huge congratulations to Dr Safa Al Siyabi for successfully passing her PhD viva! Safa’s thesis focused on the synthesis of conjugated microporous polymers and their diverse applications in advancing sustainability.

With thanks to Anna Slater of the University of Liverpool and Sébastien Rochat of the University of Bristol for their expertise and time during the viva proceedings.
