Succesive breakthrough in the ZnO quantum dots field of our Faculty members

In the newest paper published in Angewandte Chemie entitledDisclosing Interfaces of ZnO Nanocrystals Using Dynamic Nuclear Polarization: Sol‐Gel versus Organometallic Approach, Małgorzata Wolska-Pietkiewicz, PhD, Eng. and Prof. Janusz Lewiński, along with colleagues from Grenoble, achieved another milestone in the obtaining unique ZnO quantum dots for high technologies and nanomedicine applications. Using highly advanced DNP-NMR technique it has been unambiguously proven that QDs obtained with the Faculty of Chemistry WUT proprietary organometallic method OSSOM declasses QDs obtained with other, traditional sol-gel method, both in terms of stability, surface character and degree of ordering of the organic layer passivating inorganic ZnO core.
