2D Networks and Heterojunctions with Controllable Morphology from Nanosheet Inks (A11*)

• Subject Area: Physical Chemistry of Molecules, Liquids and Interfaces, Biophysical Chemistry
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 417590517

The project aims to establish an adapted Langmuir-type deposition technique that is readily accessible for depositing 2DMs based on simple mill-cut PTFE parts. The emphasis will be on achieving well-defined and reproducible substrate coverage and morphology using both, spray coating and Langmuir-type deposition. An existing setup will be optimized to maximize reproducibility, and the fundamental factors influencing the morphology of the resulting thin films of 2D HSs will be investigated. Deposited samples with controlled spacing and overlap between individual nanosheets employed in the network, as well as iteratively deposited nanomaterial (homo- and heterojunctions) will be provided to the consortium.
