1.2 Explanation of the work carried per WP
1.2.1 Work Package 1
(1) Established a general synthetic methodology for the preparation of 2D polymers.
(2) Gained several freely suspended 2D polymers, which can be freely suspended over holes. (D1.1). When supported on solid substrate, wafer-sized 2DP has been achieved (M1.1)
(3) Generated 2DP-graphene hetero-structures with designed patterns (D1.2 D1.3)
1.2.2 Work package 2
(1) Gained both optical and electronic band-gap of the synthesized wafer-sized 2DPs (D2.1 D2.1 M2.1)
(2) Proved the molecular structures of the synthesized 2DPs based on TEM characterization, X-ray scattering, and theoretical simulation. (D2.3)
(3) Created 2DPs based FET, and evaluated their performance. (D2.4)
(4) Created 2DP-graphene hetero-structures, characterized with different spectroscopy (M2.2) integrated into photo-detectors (D2.5). Unfortunately, the photo-detector did not work well.
1.2.3 Work package 3
(1) Synthesized 2DPs has been integrated into FETs, and their performance had been evaluated. (D3.1)
(2) Synthesized 2DP-graphene hetero-structures have been integrated into photo-transistors (D3.2).
1.2.4 Details on the (non-scientific) management activities of the project
a. was the researcher involved in all management aspects of the fellowship?
Yes.
b. did the researcher manage the financial part of the project?
Yes, with help from the project coordinator.
c. did the researcher receive support from the administrative staff at the host institution?
Yes, support from both the secretary of the group and the project coordinator.
d. how was the integration of the researcher within the host/department?
The researcher has been fully integrated within the host, TUD.
e. did the researcher supervise Master/PhD students?
Yes, 1 master student, 3 PhD students, and 1 postdoc researcher.
f. were there weekly meetings with the supervisor?
Yes.
g. was the researcher involved in setting up external collaboration (if any), and in the publication of the results?
Yes, the researcher established wide external collaborations. Totally, he collaborated around 50 groups in the world, 10 of them are active even after the departure of the researcher. Some of the collaborators already appeared in the co-publications, such as Prof. Gotthard Seifert, Prof. Ute Kaiser, and Prof. Andreas Fery. Prof. Thomas Heine and Prof. Thomas Heine will appear in the paper under review in Nature Chemistry.
