Journal Article
Jain, A., Trindade, G. F., Hicks, J. M., Potts, J. C., Rahman, R., J. M. Hague, R., …Rawson, F. J. (2021). Modulating the biological function of protein by tailoring the adsorption orientation on nanoparticles. Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 587, 150-161. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcis.2020.12.025

Protein orientation in nanoparticle-protein conjugates plays a crucial role in binding to cell receptors and ultimately, defines their targeting efficiency. Therefore, understanding fundamental aspects of the role of protein orientation upon adsorpti...

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...
