Project description
Supramolecular structures could help combine 2D materials and boost their properties
Atomically thin, 2D layered materials have been of interest to researchers for both fundamental studies and practical applications owing to their extraordinary mechanical, thermal, electrical and optical properties. The most widespread method of combining two or more of these materials into one is by manually stacking one material on top of the other. The EU-funded SUPRA2DMAT project aims to use supramolecular chemistry to bond the different materials into a robust structure. The use of functional molecular assemblies as linkers could modulate and enhance the properties of the final material. Project activities could pave the way towards the development of a new generation of multifunctional, high-performance devices for use in optoelectronics and chemical sensing, and in the long run, in energy and spintronics.
