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.
Mills group members Dr O’Rourke and Dr Hazafy flew out to Japan to visit an exhibition on self-cleaning materials, and discuss the groups efforts to introduce a new ISO standard for measuring the activity of self-cleaning surfaces.
