Turning photons into chemical bonds

Youtube ID: rPN2GI2jDRw

Presented by Dr. Prashant K. Jain

Abstract

Dr. Prashant K. Jain is the Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and the Materials Research Laboratory at the University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign and this meeting's Fred Kavli Emerging Leaders in Chemistry Lecturer. This lecture will highlight a bold venture into artificial photosynthesis accomplished through nanostructured catalysts engineered for trapping photons, sculpting electromagnetic fields, generating multi-electronic states, and ultimately forging energy-rich chemical bonds.
