The latest Materials Views editorial by Geoff discusses how scientific knowledge on topics such as climate change is presented to the general public. The full article can be found on the Materials Views website.

An innovative strategy is described for synthesizing a new class of porous near infrared photoluminescent organic–inorganic hybrid materials by chemically incorporating hydrogen-terminated silicon nanocrystals into porous polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) frameworks while maintaining the integrity of both the POSS cages … Continue reading →

Our group’s study on In2O3-x(OH)y nanocrystal superstructures showed improved activity for photocatalytic reduction of CO2. Transient absorption studies suggested charge transfer between nanocrystals resulting in greater charge separation and longer lifetimes of the photoexcited charge carriers to be the main … Continue reading →
