About
The Hill group focuses on colloidal synthesis and self-assembly of functional nanomaterials into hybrid structures, where changes in photophysical properties can improve energy applications. These structure-function relationships which influence the dynamics of charge transport can be better understood using ultrafast spectroscopy thanks to the Cluster of Excellence: CUI. A variety of colloidal approaches are used, including hydrothermal and solvothermal methods, and we emphasize the tuning of the surface chemistry of ligands and inorganic supports in order to template material growth or assembly orientation. Furthermore, understanding the influence of particle surface chemistry on particle-particle interactions at liquid/solid/gas interfaces is of much interest, and is highly relevant for directed assembly of functional materials.

Scope of the research:
The intersection of colloidal chemistry, nanomaterials, and materials science provides a variety of research opportunities. Specifically, duties include:
(i) Chemical modification of anisotropic nanomaterials at different interfaces
(ii) Solvothermal synthesis of semiconducting hybrid nanocomposites for device fabrication
(iii) Colloidal Self-assembly of Layered Functional Materials
