Chemical transformations often require the catalytic material to possess multiple functionalities in order to be efficient and selective. Our group develops novel synthetic schemes to achieve an exquisite control and tunability of multi-component materials, including metal oxides, quantum dots, metals as well as molecular moieties. In order to achieve the desired precision we use colloidal chemistry as our preferred synthesis approach and we strive towards understanding and manipulating the nucleation and growth kinetics through in-situ studies.<br/>In this talk I will focus on our most recent work on building catalytic platforms to advance studies in conversion of CO<sub>2</sub> into value added chemicals.
