Let there be light: The Chemistry of luminescence
by Department of Chemistry
Science Talk, Workshop/Demonstration and Guided Tour/Laboratory Visit
Date:October 16, 2024/ March 12, 2025Chemistry lab
Time:3:00pm - 4:30pm
Venue:Chong Yuet Ming Chemistry Building, HKU Main Campus
Language:English
Capacity:30
The ability to produce light always fascinates humankind. In this workshop, we will conduct several hands-on activities to explore the chemistry of luminescence. We will introduce students to the basic concepts of light, the electromagnetic spectrum, and Light-matter interactions such as colour, absorption, and luminescence. Through this workshop, students will understand the phenomenon of luminescence of organic and inorganic molecules, some of which are found in our daily lives. A brief introduction to luminescent nanomaterials and their applications in new technologies will also be given.
