DESCRIPTION:Prof. Raffaella Buonsanti\, Laboratory of Nanochemistry for En
 ergy\, EPFL Valais\, Sion\nChE-605 - Highlights in Energy Research seminar
  series\n\nColloidal synthesis is a surfactant-assisted approach that has 
 proven to be one of the most powerful solution-based method to tailor the 
 size\, the shape and the composition of nanocrystalline materials. This su
 perior control afforded by colloidal chemistry\, combined with the solutio
 n processability and the rich surface chemistry\, provides access to atomi
 cally defined nanocrystals with an unprecedented tunability. The Laborator
 y of Nanochemistry for Energy at EPFL Valais develops synthetic route to c
 olloidal nanocrystals and uses them as platforms to explore new concepts a
 nd to advance the knowledge in photo- and electro-catalysis. Our current f
 ocus is the conversion of water and CO2 into useful chemical products. In 
 this seminar\, after a general introduction on colloidal chemistry\, I wil
 l discuss our recent work on metal nanocrystals as electrocatalysts for CO
 2 reduction and on quantum dots nanocomposites as light harvesting antenna
