Building Functional Materials with Atom-Level Precision

This talk will focus on our research at the University of Washington targeting new chemistries that will help reduce non-renewable energy use through improved energy efficiency and mitigate carbon dioxide emissions via photochemical and catalytic transformations. Our research focuses on fully solution-processable chemical systems capable of sunlight absorption, color-pure emission, charge transfer, and fuels generation. In this regard we seek to address fundamental challenges in the field of inorganic chemistry, specifically controlling the composition, structure and function of nanoscale light absorbers and catalysts and the interactions between these chemical species with atom-level precision.
