– The climate crisis requires that we drastically reduce carbon dioxide emissions across all sectors of society. The Story of CO2 contributes to this vital conversation by highlighting the cutting-edge science and emerging technologies \u2013 a number of which are already commercially available \u2013 that can transform carbon dioxide into a myriad of products such as feedstock chemicals, polymers, pharmaceuticals, and fuels. This approach allows us to reconsider CO2 as a resource, and to add “carbon capture and use” to our other tools in the fight against catastrophic climate change.
\nThe Story of CO2 explores all aspects of carbon dioxide, from the atomic to the universal perspective, and takes the reader on an epic journey into our physical world, starting from the moment of the Big Bang, all the way to the present world in which atmospheric CO2 concentrations continue to grow. This story seeks to inspire readers with the latest carbon utilization technologies and explain how they fit within the broader context of carbon mitigation strategies in the shift towards a sustainable energy economy.<\/em><\/p>\n

– Breakthrough paper that describes a synthetic route to ultrathin inorganic nanowires with thicknesses below 2 nm, a size right at the threshold where molecules meet nanostructures in one-dimension. Specifically, the use of amine chemical crosslinking of ultrathin inorganic nanowires as a bottom-up strategy for nanostructure fabrication as well as a chemical detection platform is demonstrated. Nanowire microfibers are produced by chemospinning nanowire dispersion into an amine crosslinker solution at room temperature. Nanomembranes with thicknesses down to 50 nm were obtained by injecting the nanowire dispersion at the amine crosslinker-solution\/air interface. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the nanowire to amine crosslinkers allowed development of a novel sensing platform for small molecules, like the neurotransmitter serotonin, with detection limits in the picomolar regime.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mater.<\/strong> 19<\/strong><\/span>, 4177-4183.<\/p>\n

–Pioneering work that demonstrates enhancement in the photoconductivity of a thin semiconductor film can be achieved by depositing a photonic crystal (PC) onto its backside. The greatest photoconductivity enhancement is observed when the thickness of the film is such that a resonant mode appears within the stop-gap of the PC. Notably, the semiconductor film itself does not need to be periodically structured to exhibit enhanced photoconductivity, allowing the simple architecture of the film-PC construct to be readily applied to a variety of devices including resonant cavity enhanced photodiodes and more efficient photovoltaics.<\/em><\/p>\n

– The fabrication of multifunctional nanomaterials and their subsequent utilization for novel applications in various branches of nanotechnology has been intensifying. Particularly in the area of nanomechanics, the design of multicomponent nanostructures with integrated multi-functionality, would enable the construction of building blocks for nanoscale analogues of macroscopic objects. In this paper we introduce a new class of flexible nanostructures – metallic nanorods with polyelectrolyte hinges, which were synthesized by layer-by-layer electrostatic self-assembly of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes on barcode metal nanorods followed by segment selective chemical etching. Nanorods with hinges that consist of one polyelectrolyte bilayer display a considerable flexibility, but with an increased number of bilayers, the flexibility of the hinge is significantly reduced. Magnetically induced bending about the polymer hinge is illustrated through the incorporation of nickel segments into the barcodes and application of an external fluctuating magnetic field.<\/em><\/p>\n

– In our information rich world, it is becoming increasingly important to develop new technologies capable of displaying dynamic and changeable data, for reasons ranging from value-added advertising to environmental sustainability. There is an intense drive at the moment towards \u201cpaper-like\u201d displays, devices having a high reflectivity and contrast to provide viewability in a variety of environments, particularly in sunlight where emissive or backlit devices perform very poorly. The list of possible technologies is extensive, including electrophoretic, cholesteric liquid crystalline, electrochromic, electrodewetting, interferometric and more. Despite tremendous advances, the key drawback of all these existing display options relates to color: As soon as an RGB color filter or spatially modulated color scheme is implemented, substantial light losses are inevitable even if the intrinsic reflectivity of the material is very good. In this work, we describe a reflective flat-panel display technology based on the electrical actuation of photonic crystals. These materials display non-bleachable structural color, reflecting narrow bands of wavelengths tuned throughout the entire visible spectrum by expansion and contraction of the photonic crystal lattice. The material is inherently bright in high light environments, has electrical bi-stability, low operational voltage, can be integrated onto flexible substrates, and is unique amongst all display technologies in that a continuous range of colors can be accessed without the need for color filters or optical elements.<\/em><\/p>\n

– Seminal paper that demonstrates for the first time that the photo-activity of TiO2, when chemically fashioned as an inverse opal, can be dramatically enhanced by utilizing slow photons with energies close to the electronic band gap of the semiconductor. By optimizing the energy of the photonic stop gap with respect to the semiconductor electronic band gap, slow photons are effectively harvested in the dielectric part of the material, while suppressing unwanted reflectivity losses. The system is extremely tolerant to structural defects in the photonic lattice, which bodes well for their practical utility in real world applications. In a larger context, the ability to optically amplify photochemistry, by molding photoactive materials and composites in the form of photonic crystals is a universal paradigm that could profoundly advance diverse fields of science.<\/em><\/p>\n

–Trendsetting paper that describes the development of large-area films of porous elastomeric photonic crystals (EPCs) that can be compressively-decompressively cycled, to reversibly shift the position of the photonic band structure over a large wavelength range. These porous EPC\u2019s, with their low compressive threshold, have been used as imaging materials for obtaining high-accuracy, pressure- and time-dependent colour fingerprints. Further, the pores in EPC\u2019s have been used as hosts for luminescent PbS quantum dots, in order to compressively shift the photonic stop-gap through the near-IR photoluminescence (PL) peak enabling a tunable modification of photophysical characteristics, including suppression and enhancement in emission and dynamic modification of luminescence lifetimes.<\/em><\/p>\n

In this work the synthesis of \u201cperiodic mesoporous dendrisilicas\u201d is described that consist of dendrimer building blocks having variable cores and generations with end-functionalization by siloxy groups, fashioned into a hierarchical structure with well-defined channel walls and ordered mesoporous channels. The synthesis is based upon the co-assembly of carbosilane dendrimer building blocks with a templating triblock copolymer mesophase. PMDs are expected to find utility as a new generation of controlled chemical and pharmaceutical storage and release materials.<\/em><\/p>\n

– This work paved the way for other researchers to reliably prepare high-quality colloidal crystal films for various applications in diverse research areas. The paper demonstrated major advances in preparation of colloidal crystal films in two important directions: quality of microspheres, where monodispersity was improved to below 2%, and development of reliable universal procedure for preparation of high-quality films using arbitrary sizes of colloidal particles. Importantly, the developed procedure is really facile and versatile, since it uses only simple laboratory equipment, so it can be readily implemented in different research laboratories. Furthermore, the developed procedure features all the necessary elements to be relatively easily-industrially-scaleable.<\/em><\/p>\n

–Synthesis of the world\u2019s first silicon-based inverse-opal material with a complete photonic band gap centered at a wavelength of 1.5 microns. This was previously considered unattainable, or impossible, by many leading research groups around the world – its reduction to practice is now recognized as a monumental achievement by the international scientific community. By combining detailed theoretical design and innovative materials chemistry, this breakthrough has opened the door to efficient, accurate, and large scale synthesis of not only the silicon inverse opal material, but also a variety of other novel photonic band gap (PBG) architectures, capable of micro-molding the flow of light at 1.5 microns, the wavelength of choice for telecommunications.

– This paper is considered to have changed the prevailing view of the field of zeolite science from its traditional focus on size and shape selective catalysis and separation science to one that instead treated them as a unique class of solid state materials whose lattice was permeated with a regular array of microscopic holes and whose structure, property, function relations could be orchestrated for use as battery, fuel, solar cell, nonlinear optical, reprographic, quantum electronic, optical and laser materials.<\/em><\/p>\n
