Our latest paper in @science.org shows how organic salts can keep the same ionic conductivity mechanism as they transform from liquid to solid. 🔗 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adk0786 @ox.ac.uk @ajavestro.bsky.social18 Dec 2025 19:16 +0000at://did:plc:xnu7mpmeuail2f73tpze6drs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mabvamcboc27https://bsky.app/profile/paul-mcgonigal.bsky.social/post/3lsf4kmpzru27Our latest paper shows emissive organic cations can be brought together by certain counterions, giving emission from the monomer, excimer or dimer state https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.20250543324 Jun 2025 22:12 +0000at://did:plc:xnu7mpmeuail2f73tpze6drs/app.bsky.feed.post/3lsf4kmpzru27
