  • Solid State Chemistry

Background:

  • Confinement within molecular sieves enables the creation of uniform nanostructured semiconductor assemblies.
  • Disorder effects can impede the development of matrix-embedded cluster materials with desired properties.
  • Host-guest interactions are crucial for optimizing the structure, electronic characteristics, and stability of these materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the interplay between confined selenium and extra framework cations in zeolite hosts.
  • To demonstrate how this interaction can be leveraged to tailor the properties of semiconductor nanocomposites.
  • To produce well-defined semiconductor nanocomposites with tunable band gaps in the visible range.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing molecular sieves (zeolites) as hosts for nanostructure fabrication.
