Precision Inorganic Synthetic Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab precisely controls the shape and arrangement of nanoparticles to create energy functions.

AboutAbout the lab
Engineering nanoparticle structures for new energy functions.
The Precision Inorganic Synthetic Chemistry Lab aims to pioneer innovative energy functions such as single-electron transport at room temperature, highly efficient photon concentration, long-lived charge separation, magnetic exchange coupling, and overall water splitting with visible light.
By precisely controlling the particle size, shape, and composition of inorganic nanoparticles such as metals, metal chalcogenides, and metal oxides, as well as their ordered spatial arrangement, the lab controls the number of electrons, plasmon resonance, exciton lifetime, spin, and catalytic activity.
Key terms
- Nanoparticle
- A very small particle, about 1 to 100 nanometers in size
- Localized plasmon
- A phenomenon in which electrons in metal nanoparticles oscillate collectively together with light
- Photocatalyst
- A substance that absorbs light and drives chemical reactions

*Illustrative imagePrecise Control of Nanoparticle Structure
The lab precisely controls the particle size, shape, composition, phase-separation mode, and ordered spatial arrangement of inorganic nanoparticles, and thereby controls the number of confined electrons, charge density, localized plasmon resonance wavelength, exciton lifetime, spin, and catalytic activity.
*Illustrative imageMain Research Topics
The lab works on visible and near-infrared nanoplasmonics, photocatalysts for overall water splitting using heterostructured nanoparticles, and magnetic nanoparticles aimed at permanent magnets.
