Techniques such as compositionally graded stoichiometry, heterostructured architectures, and quantum features, allowing for enhanced optoelectronic properties [2]. These methods influence the mechanisms of photoemission but have not, until recently, been applied toward photocathode applications [3]. Recent results from a growing collaboration effort involving advanced synthesis, X-ray synchrotron characterization, and modeling efforts show the efficacy of these approaches. Highlights of these studies, including predictions and experimental data, are presented as well as future plans to exploit controlled functionality of nanomaterials for photocathodes and other optoelectronic devices.
