The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) was awarded a $660,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to study how defects on the surface of semiconductor nanocrystals impact energy flows and charge carrier dynamics. Professors Jillian Dempsey and Yosuke Kanai will combine experimental and theoretical approaches to gain molecular-level insight into these surface defects and explore methods to passivate or repair them through selective chemical reactions. The goal is to develop high-performing nanomaterials that can be used in applications such as sensing, display technologies, solid-state lighting, and photon energy harvesting. In addition to the research, the project will also provide comprehensive training in materials science, chemistry, and theory for students, and develop hands-on educational activities to introduce K-12 students to the applications of nanomaterials.
