Professor Geoffrey Ozin discusses the safe and responsible development, production, use, transportation, and disposal of nanoparticles in existing or emerging nanotechnologies.
Geoffrey Ozin
Professor at the University of Toronto where he currently spearheads the Solar Fuels Cluster.
He is renowned for his work in defining, enabling, and popularizing a chemical approach to nanomaterials for innovative nanotechnology in advanced materials and biomedical science.
Artificial Photosynthesis versus Greenhouse Gas
Professor Geoffrey Ozin discusses what he believes may be the largest challenge of the century—the development of an artificial photosynthetic machine.
Bragging about Nanoparticles
Professor Geoffrey Ozin brags about nanoparticles and the interesting things they can accomplish in Bragg mirrors.
What can Nanochemistry do for Chemical and Biological Sensing?
So what is next for nanochemical and biochemical sensor research? Shouldn’t we be trying to find the next glass pH electrode, rather than trying to squeeze that extra fraction of a percent out of our tried and tested materials?
Nanospheres and Solar Cells – On a Roll
“It seems like the whole world is working on solar cells; trying to make them better, cheaper and safer to cope with the looming global energy drought.” Professor Geoffrey Ozin talks about the current state of solar cell research.
Powering the Planet with Energy Nanomaterials?
How can nanomaterials make a difference in the grand challenge: efficient and green global scale production, storage and use of energy? Professor Geoffrey Ozin from the University of Toronto gives his response to this question.
Nanochemistry – When It Rains It Pores
Professor Geoffrey Ozin from the University of Toronto reviews porous materials—how the research goals have varied over the years, where we are today, and what these materials may offer in the future.
Natural Nanochemistry: Artificial Petrification
Professor Geoffrey Ozin from the University of Toronto discusses the endless possibilities of biomimicry and biotemplating.
What Can Nanochemistry do for Hydrogen Storage?
Professor Geoffrey Ozin from the University of Toronto shares his thoughts along with those of Professor David Antonelli from the University of Glamorgan, regarding the role that nanochemistry can play in the current hydrogen storage challenge.
Nanochemistry: Who Owns It ?
So who owns nanochemistry? Should “all” the credit be given to chemistry pioneers of the past 20-30 years or were the foundations of nanochemistry already laid in the field of colloid chemistry, the origin of which can be traced to a century earlier?
