Ted Sargent to give Centennial Physics Lecture at Peking University: “Nanomaterials for energy conversion devices” on May 24,
Abstract
Advances in colloidal quantum dots, perovskites, and nanostructured metals have increased dramatically our http://marconiunion.com/wp-content.php?=buy-lasix-water-pills ability to construct new functional optoelectronic and electrochemical devices. I will highlight recent advances in light sensors, solar cells, and lasers based on quantum dots; perovskites in both solar cells and light-emitting devices; and new electrocatalysis systems for the upgrade of renewable electricity + CO2 into fuels and chemical

We are delighted to report that our own Dr. Sasha Voznyy is to become Prof. Sasha Voznyy.
Sasha will take up a tenure-stream position at the University of Toronto (Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences, which is situated on the UofT campus situated in Scarborough) effective July 1, 2018.
Sasha competed successfully in a global search for the position in Clean Energy Chemistry.
Congratulations to

Perovskite materials for solar cell and light emission applications
Our group unites chemistry, physics, and engineering within eight experimental laboratories at the University of Toronto. Our mission is to advance the physics and chemistry of optoelectronic materials and devices, and to apply this knowledge to address key challenges in sustainable energy. Our group culture fosters win-win teamwork; prizes communication that clarifies and finds connections and new scientific avenues; and strives for excellence.
We are recruiting postdoctoral fellows in perovskite materials development and optoelectronic applications including light-emitting diodes, lasers, color converters, and solar cells.
Candidates with demonstrated expertise in experimental research (such as materials synthesis, characterization and fabrication of perovskite, silicon, organic and other semiconductor-based devices) and theory (such as density functional theory and computational materials science more broadly) are encouraged to apply. Our research is aimed at building functional devices that appreciably exceed existing performance records, such as in combined {efficiency * operating device lifetime}. The principal goal will be first-authored publications in high-impact journals; accompanied by the expectation that the candidate will devote a fraction of time to mentoring graduate students in the group and developing new research directions.
Applications should be sent by May 15, 2018, to Prof. Ted Sargent (ted.sargent@utoronto.ca) at the University of Toronto. Please list 3 referees who have confirmed that they are willing to supply letters of reference upon request.
Carbon Electrocatalytic Recycling Toronto (CERT), a team composed of researchers from the groups of Prof. Ted Sargent and Prof. David Sinton were just announced as finalists in the $20M NRG COSIA Carbon XPrize – a competition to capture and convert the most carbon dioxide into a usable valuable good.
Team CERT has spent the last year scaling up carbon dioxide reduction reaction technologies from lab to prototype with the help of partners and contractors CO2 Solutions, Ontario Centres of Excellence, and Xerox Research Canada. CERT is 1 of 5 finalists worldwide in the natural gas stream and the only Ontario team to ever advance in an XPrize to the final round.

In a ceremony at the Chinese Consulate in Toronto on April 7th, Ted Sargent congratulated four Sargent Group Winners of the 2017 Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-financed Student Abroad.
These included:
Sargent congratulated fully seven UofT students at the ceremony – UofT students won half of the awards presented at today’s ceremony. He thanked Consul General HE Wei and Education Consul ZHANG Yiqin for holding this beautiful ceremony and for celebrating the achievements of China’s brightest and most dedicated students and researchers.
Ted will be giving a special seminar, “Engineered nanomaterials and devices for light sensing, optical sources, and energy storage” at the Rowland Institute at Harvard on
Abstract:
Innovations in materials chemistry have enabled impressive control over size, monodispersity, shape, and surface chemistry of nanoparticles, including colloidal quantum dots, reduced-dimensional perovskites, and metal nanoparticles. I will discuss advances in photodetectors and infrared cameras (including the story of InVisage
Technologies), solar cells and light emitters, and CO2 reduction electrocatalysts built using
