Deliverables

Documents, reports (3)

Report on the synthesis, characterisation and electrochemical properties of MXene loaded with single-atom metal species

A report summarizing the synthesis procedures, physicochemical characterisation data (D5.2), and electrochemical data (e.g., CV, galvanostatic charge/discharge, EIS, cycle stability) of the single-atom loaded MXene materials

High-quality wafer-scale 2D materials for spintronics and layered materials for energy storage applications

A report on the preparation recipe of new high-quality 2D magnetic materials and layered materials at the wafer scale including preparation conditions and processing parameters

Hackathon toolbox – First version

First set of tolls prepared to support the hackathons to stimulate the emergence of novel ideas and concepts centred on layered materials. It will include: tools to accumulate ideas and prepare the hackathon, templates to communicate with teammates before and during the hackathon, guidelines to facilitate the idea generation and means to coordinate the presentation of the hackathon’s outcomes.

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (1)

Communication toolkit

Communication tools and materials (project logo, branding manual, templates, project brochure, roll-up, etc)

Data Management Plan (1)

Data Management Plan

Document following the Horizon Europe DMP template. The DMP describes the data management principles and strategies and tools for the data to be collected, processed and/or generated by FUNLAYERS project. The DMP aims at defining the management strategy of data generated during the project with the purpose to making research data findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable (FAIR). The DMP will be a living document to be updated as the implementation of the project progresses and when significant changes occur.
