Annabella Selloni is the David B. Jones Professor of Chemistry at Princeton University.
Selloni completed studies at the Universitá La Sapienza in 1974 and received her PhD from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne in 1979. [1]
Selloni works on theoretical chemistry, determining electronic and other properties of materials that are of interest for energy applications. [2] She carries out complex quantum-mechanical computations. [3]
Her research has covered density functional theory investigations into the effects of surface chemistry on water electrocatalysis, [4] modelling of biomaterials capable of purifying water of heavy metals, [5] and studying the interaction between organic and inorganic layers in self-cleaning titanium dioxide. [6]
Her collaborators include Prof. Cristiana Di Valentin at the University of Milano-Bicocca. [7]
In 2008 she was awarded the status of Fellow [8] in the American Physical Society, [9] after being nominated by the Division of Computational Physics [10] for her pioneering first-principles computational studies of surfaces and interfaces. made possible the interpretation of complex experiments, and successfully predicted the physical, and chemical properties of broad classes of materials, including materials for photovoltaic applications.
Titanium dioxide, also known as titanium(IV) oxide or titania, is the inorganic compound derived from titanium with the chemical formula TiO
2. When used as a pigment, it is called titanium white, Pigment White 6 (PW6), or CI 77891. It is a white solid that is insoluble in water, although mineral forms can appear black. As a pigment, it has a wide range of applications, including paint, sunscreen, and food coloring. When used as a food coloring, it has E number E171. World production in 2014 exceeded 9 million tonnes. It has been estimated that titanium dioxide is used in two-thirds of all pigments, and pigments based on the oxide have been valued at a price of $13.2 billion.
