About the research

Ryan Richards’ group builds nanostructured materials and studies how their surfaces determine useful chemical behavior.

Read the full research overview

Research develops synthetic methods for controlling composition and morphology, then connects structure with properties such as catalytic activity and carbon capture. Earth-abundant materials are a particular interest for renewable energy technologies. Another direction recovers elements from electronic waste and spent catalysts, exploring how reclaimed components can become inks for printing new materials. The work connects inorganic chemistry, nanoscale characterization, and resource recovery with the design of more sustainable material systems.
