Накратко на български

Колоидалните нанокристали се изследват чрез прецизен контрол на тяхната форма и състав, например за създаване на биомаркери. Те помагат за подобряване на технологиите в медицината, електрониката и производството на катализатори.

Colloidal Nanomaterials for Smart Applications

Colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) are an emerging and rapidly developing class of materials with continuously increasing potential for applications in a wide range of fields from optoelectronics to medicine. The progress is driven by narrow size distributions of just few percent, rational shape-engineering, compositional modulation, and tailored surface chemistries that are feasible for a broad range of inorganic compounds. In photovoltaics and light emitting devices the performance of inorganic NC-based devices is competitive to other state-of-the-art technologies as manifested also by colloidal quantum dot displays and biomarkers that are commercially available on the market. Also, the development of nanoscale catalysts based on nanoparticles, with control over the composition and the spatial arrangement of domains of different materials in a single nanoscale object is giving new boosts to catalysis. Finally, the exploitation of nanocrystals in medicine is and extremely active area of research, both in diagnosis and therapy. Exciting directions here are represented by deep tissue imaging, NMR imaging, drug delivery and hyperthermia, both magnetically and laser induced. The main scientific goals of COMPASS were: 1. The development of colloidal nanomaterials with tailored properties by precise engineering of their form and composition, combined with deep understanding of the underlying kinetics. 2. The demonstration of fabrication processes capable of upscaling the nanomaterial production (i.e. robot-controlled reactor syntheses with in situ characterization). 3. Understanding and mastering the mechanisms of assembly of nanocrystals into ordered superstructures with the aim to create novel 2D-3D materials with unprecedented physical properties. 4. Expanding the knowledge on nanoscale transformations in nanocrystals, both via experimental and computational approached, and exploiting this knowledge to enlarge the toolkit of fabrication routes to nanomaterials. 5. The development and testing new nanoscale hybrid materials for light harvesting and for heterogeneous catalysis. 6. To fabricate complex multifunctional materials for bio imaging. 7. The demonstration of the versatility of the nanomaterials in prototype devices.

Цел на проекта

The COMPASS project unites key players in Europe and the US with the aim to advance the field of colloidal nanocrystal (NC) synthesis and assembly and their exploitation in photonics, sensing, energy conversion and medicine. COMPASS aims to (i) develop colloidal NCs with desired properties by controlling their size, shape and composition, and to demonstrate routes allowing for large production volumes with nearly identical size and shape; (ii) develop approaches for NC self-assembly in ordered superlattices constituting NC solids with novel properties; (iii) understand the optoelectronic properties of novel NC-based materials by advanced optical and scanning probe spectroscopy methods, and explore pathways for their implementation in light emission, sensing, energy conversion and medicine; (iv) establish a consolidated network between leading EU and US institutes to provide a stimulating international environment for talented young researchers; (v) advance the level of R&D in Europe and the US and foster technology transfer and dissemination; (vii) raise the awareness of the general public on the prospects of NC materials in future technologies. Young scientists will be formed by ""training by research"" in long term stays at host labs and by lecture series held in the network that cover specific research topics, technology transfer and management/communication skills, leading to an interdisciplinary and international formation. The exchange will consolidate existing initial links between some of the lead scientists in COMPASS and establish a long lasting network that will have strong impact on science and education with significant repercussions in industry. The work plan is divided in 5 strongly linked workpackages that deal with Management, NC Fabrication, Self Assembly and Surface Functionalization, Photonics and Optoelectronics, and Energy Conversion. COMPASS will be guided by an executive board that consists of the coordinator and the lead PIs of the partners.""
