Lab Visit from Edinburgh University for Research Collaboration
Awaga Group, Nagoya University, Japan
Ms. Emily Allwright, a graduate student from Edinburgh University, visited Awaga Group, Nagoya University for a research collaboration.
Ms. Allwright's Doctoral Thesis Title:
“Electrochemical Deposition of Small Molecules for Electronic Materials”
Research Summary:
The synthesis of neutral copper dithiolene complexes is limited due to their poor stability in solution. However, stable films of the neutral complexes can be obtained from their anionic salts using potentiostatic electrodeposition. In this project, films of neutral copper and nickel dithiolene analogues were electrodeposited from air-stable salts onto FTO coated glass and interdigitated electrode substrates to investigate the absorbance of the species in the near infrared, as well as their conductivity and magnetoresistance.
