2D material interactions with liquids probed with nanoscopy tools

Project description

Innovative tools take a very close look at nanoscale interfaces

Engineering the interfaces between two dissimilar materials is a key task in device development because it can play such a critical role in functionality and performance. The structure and chemical makeup of a solid in contact with a liquid can affect parameters such as charge transport, selectivity of sensors, and electrode stability. Often, defects are engineered into interfacial materials to optimise function. The EU-funded 2D-Liquid project will develop novel nanoscopy tools that work in situ at ambient conditions. They will be used to investigate and characterise the role of surface defects in the dynamics of surface charges with a focus on 2D solid nanomaterials and liquid electrolytes.
