Journal Article
McNulty, R. C., Penston, K., Amin, S. S., Stal, S., Lee, J. Y., Samperi, M., …Newton, G. N. (2023). Self-Assembled Surfactant-Polyoxovanadate Soft Materials as Tuneable Vanadium Oxide Cathode Precursors for Lithium-Ion Batteries. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 62(12), Article e202216066. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.202216066

The mixing of [V10O28]6− decavanadate anions with a dicationic gemini surfactant (gem) leads to the spontaneous self-assembly of surfactant-templated nanostructured arrays of decavanadate clusters. Calcination of the material under air yields highly...

Morphology and Defect Control of Metal Halide Perovskite Films for High-Performance Optoelectronics (2020)
Journal Article
Lei, L., Li, M., Grant, D. M., Yang, S., Yu, Y., Watts, J. A., & Amabilino, D. B. (2020). Morphology and Defect Control of Metal Halide Perovskite Films for High-Performance Optoelectronics. Chemistry of Materials, 32(14), 5958–5972. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemmater.0c00798

Delicate morphology and defect control are crucial for high-performance optoelectronics. For metal halide perovskites, antisolvent precipitation is the most common process to realize the control and develop the state-of-art devices. However, the solu...

Enhancing singlet oxygen generation by self-assembly of a porphyrin entrapped in supramolecular fibres (2020)
Journal Article
Samperi, M., Limo, D., Amabilino, D. B., & Perez-Garc?a, L. (2020). Enhancing singlet oxygen generation by self-assembly of a porphyrin entrapped in supramolecular fibres. Cell Reports Physical Science, 1(3), https://doi.org/10.1016/jxcrp.2020.100030

Singlet oxygen (SO) is one of the reactive oxygen species that is effective in various uses, including performing chemical reactions, treating water impurities, and aiding in medicinal therapy. The generation of SO is often efficient in solution, alt... Read More about Enhancing singlet oxygen generation by self-assembly of a porphyrin entrapped in supramolecular fibres.

Quantification of energy of activation to supramolecular nanofibre formation reveals enthalpic and entropic effects and morphological consequence (2019)
Journal Article
Samperi, M., Perez-Garcia, L., & Amabilino, D. B. (2019). Quantification of energy of activation to supramolecular nanofibre formation reveals enthalpic and entropic effects and morphological consequence. Chemical Science, 2019(44), 10256-10266. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9sc03280k

We show a self-assembly process leading to fibres from a system that starts far from equilibrium because of fast solvent – anti-solvent mixing and analyse the activation energies associated with the aggregation. It is in some ways reminiscent of dive...
