Nanotechnology, Electrochemistry


Research

 

Our research focus is on the design & synthesis of new nanomaterials and the investigation of their properties.

 

Nanowires

We prepare nanowires by templating reactions on DNA molecules; these nanowires can be very long (>10 mm) and smooth1,2. Metals3, binary semiconductors4, oxides5, and conductive polymers can all be templated in the form of nanowires by this technique6,7.

Quantum dots

Silicon quantum dots are of interest for applications in confocal fluorescence imaging in cell biology and because of their unusual photophysical behaviour. We are currently investigating metal-enhanced luminescence1, photocharging2, endocytosis of SiQDs3, and their use in assays for osteoclastic bone resorption4.
