Superatom Lab focuses on developing nanoscale materials particularly superatomic clusters, nanocrystals and 2D materials. The aim is to study the chemistry and physics of these nanoscale materials including surface chemistry, reactivity and stability, electronic and optical properties, and (photo)catalytic activity. The lab is led by Dr. Rohul Hayat.

New work of photocatalytic H2O2 generation over Au101/WO3
A new work is complete and has deposited on ChemRxiv. It is about photocatalytic H2O2 generation using Au101 clusters loaded on WO3 nanopowders. We found a high production rate and yield of H2O2 within an hour. It paves the way towards utilizing gold c...

How (managing) a research group is akin to a rock band
Creating a research group is difficult especially for a new principle investigator (PI). Managing it is even harder. Worse, you cannot work alone due to insufficient fund, incomplete instruments, lack of expertise and many more. One must team up with o...
