1. New article on nanoparticle-enhanced photodetection in transparent nanosheets

   Work led by Dr Nitu Syed has demonstrated enhanced UV and visible photodetection in ultrathin (< 3nm) nanosheets of SnO2 by integrating plasmonic gold nanoparticles onto their surface. The outcomes have been published in ACS Applied Nano Materials.

2. New ultra-thin ammonia sensor

   In work led by McKenzie Fellow, Dr Nitu Syed, researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems, have developed a gas sensor using atomically thin transparent two-dimensional (2D) tin dioxide film. The material has a thickness of only 2 nanometres which is 50000 times thinner than a paper. Reducing the thickness to […]
