Recent Publications on Polymer-coated Semiconductor Nanoparticles and Templated Polymerization
Two new publications co-authored by SMC Group Leader Dr Stuart Thickett have recently appeared in press. Photo-driven synthesis of polymer-coated platinized ZnO nanoparticles with enhanced photoelectrochemical charge transportation - this recent publication appeared in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A. In this work, it is shown that a thin conformal coating of polymer prepared via the oxidative polymerization of phenol greatly improves charge separation in ZnO nanopartic
