Surface chemistry plays a critical role in the properties of nanomaterials. Changing the material surface adjusts particle solubility, conductivity, stability, and luminescence, among other properties. Our research examines the surfaces and interfaces of nanomaterials from an inorganic chemistry perspective to give insight into their structure-function relationships on a microscopic level.
