Our work on 'photocatalytic olefination with quantum dots' is now published in ACS Catalysis. A great effort by Indra Narayan Chakraborty to showcase the power of 'quantum dot photocatalysis' in synthetic organic chemistry. Congratulations to Indra & @Mr_Lumens pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Plasmons are HOT ! This time plasmon🔥 enabled us to couple light into the solvent-mediated dynamic self-assembly process of nanoparticles. Congrats, Sumit Roy & Radha Krishna Kashyap. Many thanks to the editorial team of The Journal of Physical Chemistry for the kind invitation. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Day 1, we had an outstanding program, with exciting talks and scientific discussion #Emergingmaterials2023 IISER Pune with Subi George Partha Mukherjee's Lab Maksym Kovalenko Maryna Bodnarchuk Angshuman Nag Partha Hazra, IISER Pune Pramod Pillai Pankaj Mandal Arnab Mukherjee

Scientists from IISER Pune synthesise less-toxic quantum dots emitting blue light that have potential imaging applications and lighting and display reports T V Jayan shaastramag.iitm.ac.in/news-brief/the… Pramod Pillai Vishal Govind Rao Jino George (IISER Mohali) Chemical Science

Our latest Perspective highlights the prospects & challenges associated with different triggers, with the aim of achieving desired functions from a dynamic self-assembly process.Congrats Sumit Roy.Thank you Ozge Heinz& Langmuir for the invitation! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Our work on light induced energy transfer from blue-to-green emitting InP QDs is published in a special issue dedicated to Prof. Kankan Bhattacharyya in Chem. Phys. Impact Elsevier Chemistry. Thanks Saptarshi for the invitation. Congrats @Mr_Lumens Adhra Sury sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our work in Chemical Communications projects plasmon-heating as a 'greener alternative' to conventional-heating for high-temp organic synthesis.This time we did Claisen rearrangement 'solely' with plasmon-heat, under sunlight.Congrats Radha Krishna Kashyap Shreya Tyagi pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

The MS thesis work of Namitha Deepak on heterojunctions dictating the yield and pathway of plasmon-powered cofactor regeneration is out in Photochemistry and Photobiology’s special issue on Photosciences in India. A well-led project by @Vanshikajain96 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ph…

Our work on an artificial photosynthetic system powered by InP QD for the perpetual synthesis of chemicals is out in ACS Catalysis. Effective shuttling of redox cofactors between light & dark cycles was the key. Congrats Indra Narayan Chakraborty, Vanshika & Pradyut pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Plasmonic NPs are usually poor solar-to-electricity converters. We say they aren’t; not using electrons, but with plasmonic heat. We have developed plasmon-powered STEGs with a record efficiency of ~11.5%. Now out in Nano Letters. Congrats Radha Krishna Kashyap pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

A nicely written report by Biplab Das on our recently published work on plasmon-powered solar thermoelectric generator - go.nature.com/3V8Cy6v Thank you Nature India for covering our work. The original work was published in Nano Letters IISER Pune Radha Krishna Kashyap

Congratulations Adhra and all the coauthors doi.org/10.1002/cptc.2…

We continue our efforts in developing all-InP QD based light harvesters. This time we show ‘ligand-directed FRET process’ between green and red emitting InP QDs in solution and solid states - now out in Applied Physics Letters. Congrats @Mr_Lumens & Adhra Sury pubs.aip.org/aip/apl/articl…

Energy science update: A thin film of gold nanoparticles boosts the sunlight-to-electricity conversion efficiency of a solar thermoelectric generator to almost 9.6% at ambient conditions. Find out more: 👇🏻 go.nature.com/3VrMJTW #NatureIndia

We have developed Cu nanoparticles with excellent stability & light-to-heat energy conversion efficiency, for plasmon-driven high-temperature studies.The work is out in Chemical Science. Congratulations to Shreya Tyagi Radha Krishna Kashyap Ankit Dhankhar pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Introducing ansiotropic Au-Rh superstructures for plasmonic photocatalysis. A site-selective growth of Rh islands on AuNRs boosts the photoregeneration of biological cofactors. Now out in Chemistry of Materials. Congratulations Ankit Dhankhar shorturl.at/WKFzr
