Congratulations to @Guanyu__Lu, inaugural Fraser Stoddart Fellow in the @dayne_swearer Group, on his first lead-author paper in ACS Nano. A milestone for both Guanyu and the fellowship. Read the full paper: https://t.co/ejlVbOHSzC
A simple method for detecting hydrogen gas has been developed based on changes in reflection from nanoscale silicon carbide resonators. This demonstration opens the doors to passive optical sensor technologies in the mid-infrared. Read it here 🔗 https://t.co/yXIvfZUkIR

We found that single atom Pt in plasmonic Cu hosts behave much different that catalysts with slightly higher Pt loadings where the Pt atoms cluster on the catalysts surface. Engineering active sites in dilute plasmonic alloys has a bright future.

Excited to share our latest publication! Proud to be part of the team @nu_chbe @NUChemistry designing optical resonances of oxide supports to enhance plasmonic photocatalysis.
I'm hopping back onto Xwitter real quick to share that we've published our paper on using Mie Resonant metal oxide catalytic supports to produce broadband rate enhancements for photocatalysis! Optical synergies lead to improved performance.
