I'm excited to share that our paper, "Engineering gold nanoworms with tunable longitudinal plasmon peak in the near infrared and their refractive index sensing properties," has been published in RSC Advances by the Royal Society of Chemistry. In this paper, we explore the plasmonic properties of worm-shaped Au nanoparticles and their promising applications. We demonstrate that the longitudinal plasmon peak of gold nanoworms, which are bent nanorods, can be finely tuned in the near-infrared region.

The Sarah B King lab has pioneered an invaluable technique to visualize anti-ferroelectric materials, marking a significant advancement in the field of materials science. The evidence of their study was published on June 14th in Science Advances. Anti-ferroelectric materials have long fascinated scientists due to their unique properties and potential applications in various technologies, including electronics and energy storage. However, visualizing these materials at the atomic level has been a challenging task - until now. Using polarized light from lasers with electron imaging, this cutting-edge method not only allows for unprecedented visualization of these materials but also opens up new avenues for innovation and application in advanced technologies. “It's going to play a critical role in the development of new materials," says King Read our story about their research journey and what possibilities are in store in light of their discovery - https://lnkd.in/gqQenRym #ScienceInnovation #MaterialsScience #ChemistryBreakthrough #AntiFerroelectricMaterials #uchichemistry #uchichem #UChicagoResearch #KingLab #AdvancedTechnology #EnergyStorage #FutureElectronics #ScientificDiscovery

Dissertation Defense is finally here! My work highlights the green synthesis of Ag nanoparticles, focusing on sustainable and eco-friendly methods of fabrication. The applications of these Ag NPs were explored in Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) and Solar-Driven Photothermal Water Evaporation: A promising approach for sustainable water purification.

Rice University materials scientist Lane W. Martin, along with collaborators at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Argonne National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, recently explored the mesoscale: the overlooked range between the nano- and microscale in materials science research. This research could inform applications in high-efficiency energy storage and conversion, next-generation electronics, lasers and sensors. https://bit.ly/3ybUxk0

📚 Published Work! 📚 Proud to share that my latest study from my PhD research, titled "Encapsulation of Cadmium-Free InP-based Quantum Dots in Cross-Linked Core-Shell Microparticles via Coaxial Electrospraying," is now published in Small. This paper explores the protection of high-performing, environmentally benign nanocrystals capable of emitting light. This was achieved by incorporating them into suitable host materials — cross-linked polymer particles. These particles were produced using electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA), also known as electrospraying, a particle formation method that combines an electric field with solvent evaporation.

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 I'm thrilled to share our latest research paper, "Unveiling Excitons in Two-Dimensional Pnictogens." This study delves into the optical, electronic, vibrational, and excitonic properties of four 2D pnictogen materials—nitrogenene, phosphorene, arsenene, and antimonene. By using density functional theory calculations and the Bethe–Salpeter equation, we discovered: 🔬 Indirect gaps with significant exciton binding energies 🔬 Isotropic behavior under circular light polarization 🔬 Anisotropic behavior under linear polarization within the visible solar spectrum (except for nitrogenene) 🔬 Raman frequency red-shifts in heavier pnictogen atoms, consistent with experimental observations 🔬 Intense quasi-particle effects influencing the linear optical response These findings highlight the immense potential of these monolayers for solar energy harvesting and advanced optoelectronic device applications and open new research possibilities in our field. Join us in exploring how these innovative materials can pave the way for the next generation of optoelectronic technologies. The paper is available here https://lnkd.in/eERefS3J, and it's open access. Special thanks to our team, who made this possible: Marcos R. Guassi, Rafael Besse, Maurício Piotrowski, Celso Ricardo Rêgo, Diego Guedes-Sobrinho, Andréia Luisa da Rosa, and Alexandre Cavalheiro Dias. #Simstack #Optoelectronics #SolarEnergy #Nanotechnology #Pnictogens #Excitons #MaterialsScience #Wantibexos

Unveiling the Science Behind Material Synthesis #Slowmo😇 Here, I'm demonstrating a key step in the synthesis. The magnetic stirrer ensures a homogenous mixture while the solution is gently heated on a hot plate, promoting uniform reaction and better material properties. This process is essential for achieving precision in energy storage and I'm excited to share this glimpse into my lab work with the community. #MaterialScience #Research #Innovation
