The aim of this project is to explore how properties of inorganic molecules and extended lattice materials change due to the nanoscale confinement. I shall develop methods for entrapment of small inorganic molecules and synthesise novel inorganic nanomaterials inside nanotubes. The project will be divided into two main areas: 1. Investigation of the properties and encapsulation of Indium Selenide inside carbon and boron nitride nanotubes. To invesitgate the properties of these materials Raman and IR spectroscopy would be used to probe vibrational modes, TEM to determine morphology and properties of encapsulated species and XPS and fluorescence/phosphorescence spectroscopy to better understand the bonding and structure of encapsulated species. Electrochemical measurements will then be made to determine the effect of encapsulation on the electrical properties of Indium Selenide.2. Investigation of the properties and encapsulation of metal carbonyls inside carbon and boron nitride nanotubes. Metal carbonyls have well studied optical properties. Encapsulation inside carbon nanotubes has been shown to alter these properties, but further investigation into the effect of encapsulation by boron nitride nanotubes has not yet been extensively explored. Successful encapsulation of metal carbonyls inside boron nitride nanotubes could create new materials with enhanced photoactive properties.

该项目的目的是探索无机分子和扩展晶格材料的特性如何因纳米级限制而变化。我将开发捕获无机小分子的方法并在纳米管内合成新型无机纳米材料。该项目将分为两个主要领域： 1. 研究碳纳米管和氮化硼纳米管内硒化铟的特性和封装。为了研究这些材料的特性，将使用拉曼光谱和红外光谱来探测振动模式，使用 TEM 来确定封装物质的形态和特性，使用 XPS 和荧光/磷光光谱来更好地了解封装物质的键合和结构。然后进行电化学测量以确定封装对硒化铟电性能的影响。2．研究碳和氮化硼纳米管内金属羰基化合物的性质和封装。羰基金属的光学性质已得到充分研究。碳纳米管内的封装已被证明可以改变这些特性，但尚未广泛探索氮化硼纳米管封装效果的进一步研究。将金属羰基化合物成功封装在氮化硼纳米管内可以创造出具有增强光活性特性的新材料。
