Geoff Ozin

This week, Professor Ozin defends that most maligned of molecules, carbon dioxide.

Nanochemistry Nostalgia 2011

Geoff Ozin

Professor Geoffrey Ozin reviews some significant results in nanochemistry from 2011.

What Is My (Nano)Material Good For?

Geoff Ozin

Whatever happened to curiosity-driven research aimed at the creation of fundamental knowledge without the need for immediate application?

How Green Does Your Nanomaterials Garden Grow?

Nanochemistry for the environment

Professor Geoffrey Ozin discusses the safe and responsible development, production, use, transportation, and disposal of nanoparticles in existing or emerging nanotechnologies.

Artificial Photosynthesis versus Greenhouse Gas

Nanoscale materials for photosynthesis

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

nanoparticle-films

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?

Nanochemistry for 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

Nanospheres and solar cells

“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?

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

Nanochemistry: creating porous materials

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.
