In situ investigation and scalability of transition metal nitride and carbide mechanochemical synthesis
Plasmonic nanoparticles can uniquely interact with light, driving chemical reactions through localized high heating. Typically, making these materials is very energy intensive, often needing high temperatures and generating solvent wastes. The proposed project would develop a large scale, solvent free, low energy method for the rapid generation of a range of plasmonic nanomaterials. Additionally, the reaction will be monitored while it is running, allowing for a deeper understanding of the formation mechanisms, thus helping direct the design of new, previously unknown materials.
