Penner's group focuses on the development of new synthetic methods for preparing nanomaterials that have unique and useful properties for chemical sensing, and for other applications. The emphasis is on electronic materials including metals, metal oxides, semiconductors, thermoelectric materials, and electronically conductive polymers. We are, first and foremost, electrochemists and electrodeposition is the starting point for all the synthetic methods we develop. This means that nanostructure "synthesis" begins on a conductive electrode surface (composed of graphite or silicon) from precursors (metal ions, organic monomers, etc.) present in a contacting liquid phase. Additional processing steps that do not involve electrochemistry are also sometimes employed to obtain compounds of interest. we have termed this "Electrochemical/Chemical" synthesis. The rigorous structural characterization of the nanomaterials we prepare consumes a large fraction of our day-to-day research effort and routinely involves six methods (TEM, SAED, SEM, EDX, XPS, and powder XRD).
