The Robinson group’s research mission is to develop a fundamental understanding of how to program and process nanoscale building blocks into functional structures, and to elucidate the structure-property relationships of the resulting nanostructured materials. We apply novel nanosynthetic design concepts to tailor the properties of nanomaterials by controlling their size, shape, composition, and surfaces.  We assemble these building blocks into functional architectures, targeting nanomaterials for electrochemical energy conversion and storage, printable electronics, and electrocatalysis

We have three main thrusts: (I) synthesis and chemical transformations in nanocrystals, (II) nanocrystals in energy applications, and (III) synchrotron x-ray characterization of nanomaterials.
