Some Victorian books were dyed with toxic pigments. The latest research on these “poison books” used a technique not previously applied to books to assess a university collection, and the researchers found some volumes had possibly unsafe levels. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2024.

A greener route to blue – a new method drastically reduces the amount of solvent needed to produce widely used organic dyes
Phthalocyanines dyes can be produced with solid-state synthesis instead of high- boiling organic solvents.
Decoding the Lifecycle of Photogenerated Charges
New materials will enable novel technologies to turn sunlight into electricity and fuels. Combinations of molecules and tiny nanoparticles make these materials a reality. Scientists have found a way to track electrons along their round trip from the molecules to the nanoparticles and back, helping to find where electrons can travel and where they get stuck, information that is crucial to finding better combinations for innovative materials.
