Abstract: | Our research group works to gain a fundamental understanding of how to program and process nanoscale building blocks into functional structures, and the structure-property relationships of the resulting nanostructured materials. We seek to develop new nano-materials and methods for energy storage, fuel cells, and printable electronics. In this talk I will discuss our recent results overcoming critical challenges to the goal of creating functional nanostructured materials. I will discuss our work on scaling the synthesis, and our work creating functional nanoparticle assemblies. |
