“Chemical Problems and Solutions for Nanomaterials at the 2D Limit”
Abstract:
There are many open questions about how two-dimensional structuring impacts the chemistry and properties of materials. But first we need to make these nanosheets in the lab! In this presentation, a number of strategies for controlling the composition and morphology of inorganic nanosheet materials, including complex metal oxides with interesting electronic properties and luminescent metal silicates, will be described.
Bio:
Dr. Tina Salguero received her B.A. and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry from Columbia University (1997) and Caltech (2003), respectively. Following postdoctoral work with Prof. Galen Stucky at UC Santa Barbara, she was a research scientist in the Department of Energy Technologies at HRL Laboratories (Malibu, CA), working on metal hydride materials, microbial fuel cells, and novel PEM fuel cell materials. In 2010 she became an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Georgia, where her research interests are centered on hybrid materials that incorporate nanosheet components, including graphene, graphene oxide, metal chalcogenides (MoS2, NbSe2), transition metal oxides (NbWO6, H2SrTa2O7, Ca2Nb3O10), hexagonal boron nitride, and lamellar perovskites. Applications of these materials range from gas and moisture barriers for electronics, OLED displays, and organic photovoltaics to electrically conductive materials for fuel cells or as current-dissipating materials on aircraft (to provide protection against lightning strikes).
