We Study the Chemistry of Molecular Clusters - Relevance to Energy Storage & Atmospheric Chemistry
We are interested in the intersection of molecular, materials, and surface chemistry relevant to catalysis, energy storage and environmental chemistry. Our interests in nanoclusters are driven by the potential as new catalysts as well as models for understanding the fundamental growth mechanisms of atmospheric aerosols under diverse atmospheric conditions including temperature, humidity and interactions with other chemical precursors. The well-defined atomic structure of nanoclusters allows us to explore how principles of inorganic and physical chemistry can inform the design and understanding of new catalysts for energy conversion. The same principles also inform our efforts towards in-situ spectroscopic understanding of atmospheric chemistry of aerosols and design of chemically sensitive remote sensors (LIDAR).
A brief overview of our research
We are always looking for motivated High school and Undergraduate students to join our team! Potential graduate students please email Dr. Thabiso Kunene to discuss potential projects and funding opportunities.
