Cutting-Edge Molecular Approaches for Cultural Heritage - From Paleoproteomics to Advanced SERS Sensors, the Next-Gen Analytical Technologies

Professor Favero’s group is dedicated to pioneering advanced technologies at the intersection of science and cultural heritage. Their research spans the creation of cutting-edge active SERS substrates for ultra-sensitive detection and identification of pollutants in museum environments, development of innovative nanomaterials up to new advanced methodology in paleoproteomics and study of ancient organic residues using integrated omics approaches.

It’s Only a Part of the Story: Analytical Investigation of the Inks and Dyes Used in the Privilegium Maius

The Privilegium maius is one of the most famous and spectacular forgeries in medieval Europe. It is a set of charters made in the 14th century upon commitment by Duke Rudolf IV, a member of the Habsburg family, to elevate the rank and the prestige of his family. These five charters, now kept at the Österreichisches Staatsarchiv in Vienna, have been subjected to a thorough interdisciplinary study in order to shed light on its controversial story. The charters are composed of pergamenaceous documents bound to wax seals with coloured textile threads.

New pyran-based dyes as efficient sensitizers of p -type dye-sensitized solar cells

The application of four pyran based dyes as sensitizers for p-type dye-sensitized solar cells (p-DSCs) is here
proposed. The dyes differ for the nature of the electron acceptor group which functionalizes the pyran core. Such
a structural variation significantly influences the optical properties of the dyes so that the new pyrans overall
cover most of the visible spectrum. In some cases, the p-DSCs employing these pyran-based dyes display power
conversion efficiency significantly higher than the device sensitized with sensitizer benchmark P1. The relevant
