Join us on Wednesday November 12 at 3:00 PM for the 2025 Nozik Lecture, presented by Sir Prof. Richard Friend from U Cambridge. A pioneer in understanding how organic molecule interact with light, this promises to be an excellent afternoon of science: https://t.co/iJJk4seHV1

7/ Checkout our highlight on the research here: https://t.co/2GhnzvaGVx

6/ 📖 Read the full study in Chem: https://t.co/gdkODHexQR #Nanoscience #Photocatalysis #CleanEnergy #ScienceBreakthrough #Chemistry

5/ Imagine a future where plastics and pharmaceuticals are made using light—not fossil fuels. This research is a step toward that vision. 🌍💡

4/ The work is part of the DOE-funded Energy Frontier Research Center: Ensembles of Photosynthetic Nanoreactors (EPN), bringing together experts across institutions. 🧪🤝 https://t.co/eTFIVh27xP

3/ This extends the lifetime of the charge-separated state to microseconds—a huge leap in photochemical timescales! 🕒

2/ The innovation uses a molecule that binds tightly to the nanocrystal surface and shuttles away positive charges (holes), preventing energy loss from recombination. ⚡

1/ 🚨 Big news in photochemistry! A team led by RASEIs Gordana Dukovic has created a molecular dam that slows energy leaks in nanocrystals—making light-driven reactions 40x more efficient! 🌞🔬

Interesting highlight on a report out from Ember this week that highlights the global adoption of renewable energy generation and how countries leaving these kind of technologies behind are going to end up with larger bills and aging infrastructure:

Tomorrow NREL moves into our next chapter of innovation and impact with a new lab director. Join us in welcoming Jud Virden to NREL. https://t.co/h1Vg17D5mf

Join us for what promises to be an engaging and fascinating presention, followed by a poster reception. Wednesday November 12, 3:00 - 5:30 PM. CASE Building, Fourth Floor Auditorium. Registration is required since spaces are limited, so sign up today!

Discoveries from this team has been applied to organic transistors, LEDs and photovoltaics. As a co-founder of Cambridge Display Technologies, now part of Sumitomo Chemical Group, Richard’s work has found broad commercial application, changing display and light technologies.

The 2025 Nozik Lecture will feature Sir Richard Friend from the University of Cambridge. A pioneer in carbon-based semiconductors, Friend’s research has changed the way we interact with light.

Understanding how these films degrade is critical in developing approaches to prevent decomposition in future designs. We can’t stop shade and shadows, but through careful scientific investigation we can create designs that can handle it: https://t.co/YQQ6UHTFHi

This suite of tools enabled the team to identify pinholes and weak spots in the perovskite films that were the sites of the reverse bias decomposition, providing direct evidence for the mode of decomposition.
