Selective suppression of {112} anatase facets by fluorination for enhanced TiO2 particle size and phase stability at elevated temperatures (2021)
Journal Article

Generally, anatase is the most desirable TiO2 polymorphic phase for photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications due to its higher photoconductivity and lower recombination rates compared to the rutile phase. However, in applications where temperatur...

Blurring the Boundary between Homogenous and Heterogeneous Catalysis using Palladium Nanoclusters with Dynamic Surfaces (2021)
Journal Article

Using a magnetron sputtering approach that allows size-controlled formation of nanoclusters, we have created palladium nanoclusters that combine the features of both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts. Here we report the atomic structures and el... Read More about Blurring the Boundary between Homogenous and Heterogeneous Catalysis using Palladium Nanoclusters with Dynamic Surfaces.

Revealing the true impact of interstitial and substitutional nitrogen doping in TiO2 on photoelectrochemical applications (2021)
Journal Article

Application of photocatalysts that strongly absorb within the visible range is a common strategy to improve the efficiency of photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems; this may translate to high photocurrents, but it is not always the case. Here, we show t... Read More about Revealing the true impact of interstitial and substitutional nitrogen doping in TiO2 on photoelectrochemical applications.

Porous hollow TiO2 microparticles for photocatalysis: exploiting novel ABC triblock terpolymer templates synthesised in supercritical CO2 (2021)
Journal Article

Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) mediated dispersion polymerisation in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) is an efficient and green method for synthesising block copolymer microparticles with internal nanostructures. Here we... Read More about Porous hollow TiO2 microparticles for photocatalysis: exploiting novel ABC triblock terpolymer templates synthesised in supercritical CO2.

A Cooperative Photoactive Class-I Hybrid Polyoxometalate With Benzothiadiazole–Imidazolium Cations (2021)
Journal Article

An organic–inorganic hybrid species based on the Wells–Dawson polyoxotungstate [P2W18O62]6− and novel fluorescent benzothiadiazole–imidazolium cations, [BTD-4,7-ImH]2+, has been synthesized. X-ray crystallographic analysis shows that the inorganic an... Read More about A Cooperative Photoactive Class-I Hybrid Polyoxometalate With Benzothiadiazole–Imidazolium Cations.
