Sustainable Materials

Stanford druggists work at the van of new developments in the generation and study of new accoutrements made from renewable and sustainable coffers. Using mechanistic principles to produce catalysts for the conflation of complex macromolecular infrastructures, they develop sustainable polymers, synthetic energies, and bioactive motes. Using synthetic chemistry tools, they design cold-blooded accoutrements that couple the structural tunability of organic motes with the different electronic and optic parcels of extended inorganic solids. These sweats specifically target accoutrements with operations in clean energy, similar as sorbents for landing environmental adulterants, electrodes for rechargeable batteries, and absorbers for solar cells.
