Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Sevilla- ICMS

Science Week at ICMS = curiosity, collaboration, and creativity.

Follow us for more initiatives that bring science closer to society!

#MaterialsScience #ICMS #ScienceWeek

🙏 Huge thanks to Fernando, Ángel, Carmen, Gisela, Sergio, and Nuria for sharing your passion ❤️.

📣 Special mention to Sergio Carrasco, who returned as a former Ciencia Joven winner 10 years later to inspire the next generation!

🏆 With the winning schools of the Ciencia Joven Award, we:

⚗️ Assembled a catalyst
💡 Showcased glowing compounds for future medical uses
🔍 Used equipment to see what’s invisible to the naked eye

Hands-on science at its best!

☕ In one Café con Ciencia session, we:

🖼️ Traveled to the Louvre and explored diamond structures from stolen jewelry
🌧️ Measured raindrop energy
✨ Learned why things shine

Science can take you anywhere!

👩‍🎓 Students discovered the different pathways to a career in science:

🎓 University degrees

🛠️ Vocational training programs

Because science needs talent from all backgrounds!

🌟 Bringing materials science closer to young people is one of our main missions at #ICMS.

During #ScienceWeek, we went all in to share the excitement of our work in labs 🔬 and scientific-technical services ⚙️.

👇 Thread with highlights!

One‐Dimensional Photonic Crystal for Surface Mode Polarization Control The experimental demonstration of a modified 1D photonic crystal platform is reported that allows for the matching over a broad spectral range of the dispersion relations of transverse-electric and t....

🗣️Join us for the next #SciTalk with Francisco Yubero.

He'll explore advanced surface analysis and its impact on materials science through the article published in Advanced Optical Materials🧪

Great participation of our own Carmen Hidalgo in the scientific talks to the great students at IES Reino Aftasí and IES Federico Mayor Zaragoza. We love sharing our nanophotonics experience 🤗

4/5

3⃣Scalable and eco-friendly fabrication aligns with sustainability goals and industrial adoption♻️

This could significantly reduce manufacturing costs and open doors for roll-to-roll production of flexible photovoltaics.

3/5

1⃣Low-temperature processing (<200 °C) means compatibility with polymer substrates, enabling flexible devices🌡️

2⃣Porous TiO₂ layers improve charge transport and interface quality, which is critical for perovskite solar cells🌞

2/3

Low‐Temperature Remote Plasma Synthesis of Highly Porous TiO2 as Electron Transport Layers in Perovskite Solar Cells This work presents low-temperature (<200 °C) TiO2 electron transport layers synthesized via plasma polymerization and etching of a Ti phthalocyanine precursor. The resulting nanostructured films enha...

That’s an exciting breakthrough!

Lowering the processing temperature for electron transport layers is a big step toward making flexible and cost-effective solar cells viable
