DCCE UCT Prague

Group Focus

The research group Laboratory of Molecular Electronics is engaged in research in the field of electrically conductive nanomaterials (conductive polymers, MXenes, graphene or carbon fibres) and their applications in the field of electronics (energy storage devices, sensors, passive electronic components).

• synthesis, characterization and optimization of electrically conductive organic substances
• design and electron microanalysis (SEM, EDX) of nanostructures of prepared materials
• development and testing of electronic components’ prototypes
• design and realization of systems for diagnostics and data acquisition
