Redox-active hierarchical assemblies of hybrid polyoxometalate nanostructures at carbon surfaces (2022)
Journal Article
Amin, S. S., Cameron, J. M., Cousins, R. B., Wrigley, J., Liirò-Peluso, L., Sans, V., …Newton, G. N. (2022). Redox-active hierarchical assemblies of hybrid polyoxometalate nanostructures at carbon surfaces. Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers, 9(8), 1777-1784. https://doi.org/10.1039/d2qi00174h

The self-assembly of hierarchical nanostructures on surfaces is a promising strategy for the development of a wide range of new technologies, such as energy-storage devices and sensors. In this work we show that amphiphilic, organofunctionalized hybr... Read More about Redox-active hierarchical assemblies of hybrid polyoxometalate nanostructures at carbon surfaces.

Gel-Polymer Electrolytes Based on Poly(Ionic Liquid)/Ionic Liquid Networks (2020)
Journal Article
Sen, S., Goodwin, S. E., Barbará, P. V., Rance, G. A., Wales, D., Cameron, J. M., …Walsh, D. A. (2021). Gel-Polymer Electrolytes Based on Poly(Ionic Liquid)/Ionic Liquid Networks. ACS Applied Polymer Materials, 3(1), 200-208. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsapm.0c01042

The use of electrically charged, polymerized ionic liquids (polyILs) offers opportunities for the development of gel-polymer electrolytes (GPEs), but the rational design of such systems is in its infancy. In this work, we compare the properties of po... Read More about Gel-Polymer Electrolytes Based on Poly(Ionic Liquid)/Ionic Liquid Networks.

Redox?Active Hybrid Polyoxometalate?Stabilised Gold Nanoparticles (2020)
Journal Article

Access to asymmetrically functionalised polyoxometalates is a grand challenge as it could lead to new molecular nanomaterials with multiple or modular functionality. Here, a simple “one-pot” synthetic approach to the isolation of an asymmetrically fu... Read More about Asymmetric Hybrid Polyoxometalates: A Platform for Multifunctional Redox‐Active Nanomaterials.

A Brønsted ligand molecular switch with five accessible states (2019)
Journal Article
