The research interests of the Mills group are wide and varied including: dye and semiconductor photochemistry, redox catalysis (in particular, oxygen catalysis), solar energy conversion (in particular artificial photosynthesis) and colour and fluorescence based indicators and smart inks and plastic films.
A recent paper, to be published in Chemical Communications, written by Andrew Mills and Nathan Wells, has been highlighted in a Chemistry World article. The article describes a new method of detecting commercial semiconductor photocatalysts to assess their ‘self-cleaning’ ability, and represents quite a step forward for activity testing.
