NANOCHEMISTRY
Nanochemistry is an emerging subfield of chemistry that focuses on synthesizing and characterizing materials at the nanoscale (1 nm to 100 nm), such as metal nanoparticles, semiconductor nanocrystals, magnetic nanocrystals, and colloidal particles. Unlike molecular chemistry, nanochemistry involves the assembly of numerous atoms and molecules, often exhibiting size-dependent optical, electronic, magnetic, catalytic, and biomedical properties. Nanochemistry plays a crucial role in addressing challenges such as efficient energy conversion, quantum information science, and biomedical applications.
Our research programs include:
- Nanoclusters
- Plasmonic Nanoparticles
- Semiconductor Quantum Dots
- Magnetic Nanoparticles
- Atomically Precise Nanomaterials
