A colloidoscope of colloid-based porous materials and their uses
Phillips, Katherine; England, Grant Tyler; Sunny, Steffi; Shirman, Elijah; Shirman, Tanya; Vogel, Nicolas; Aizenberg, Joanna (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2016)Nature evolved a variety of hierarchical structures that produce sophisticated functions. Inspired by these natural materials, colloidal self-assembly provides a convenient way to produce structures from simple building ... -
Nanocrystalline Precursors for the Co-Assembly of Crack-Free Metal Oxide Inverse Opals
Phillips, Katherine Reece; Shirman, Tanya; Shirman, Elijah; Shneidman, Anna Vitalyevna; Kay, Theresa M.; Aizenberg, Joanna (Wiley, 2018)Inorganic microstructured materials are ubiquitous in nature. However, their formation in artificial self‐assembly systems is challenging as it involves a complex interplay of competing forces during and after assembly. ... -
New Architectures for Designed Catalysts: Selective Oxidation using AgAu Nanoparticles on Colloid-Templated Silica
Shirman, Tanya; Lattimer, Judith; Luneau, Mathilde; Shirman, Elijah; Reece, Christian; Aizenberg, Michael; Madix, Robert James; Aizenberg, Joanna; Friend, Cynthia M. (Wiley, 2017)A highly modular synthesis of designed catalysts with controlled bimetallic nanoparticle size and composition and a well-defined structural hierarchy is demonstrated. Exemplary catalysts—bimetallic dilute Ag-in-Au nanoparticles ... -
The Optical Janus Effect: Asymmetric Structural Color Reflection Materials
England, Grant T.; Russell, Calvin; Shirman, Elijah; Kay, Theresa; Vogel, Nicolas; Aizenberg, Joanna (Wiley, 2017)Structurally colored materials are often used for their resistance to photobleaching and their complex viewing direction-dependent optical properties. Frequently, absorption has been added to these types of materials in ...
