Chari Peter Receives 2025 Elliot and Laura Richman Travel Award
Congrats to Chari Peter for receiving the 2025 Elliot and Laura Richman Travel Award to attend the 2025 NOBCChE Conference in September!
Her talk is titled “Surface Interactions between CdSe QDs and Polyoxovanadates that influences Charge Transfer.”
She will be presenting her research on tuning charge transfer in colloidal quantum dots (QDs). Her work focuses on how surface chemistry affects hole extraction by enhancing electrostatic interactions with functionalized polyoxovanadate (POV) clusters. These modifications strengthen QD-POV attachment, improving exciton separation and interfacial charge transfer. Such QDs have broad applications, including in solar energy harvesting for fuel conversion.
Congrats again, Chari!
