Graphene and New Monoatomic Materials: Using 2-Dimensional Nanosheets in a 3-Dimensional World

WEBINAR

OVERVIEW

Chemists have been able to manipulate graphene by enhancing its processibility and versatility. It is possible to tailor graphene, using covalent or supramolecular chemistry, into a variety of forms ranging from simple soluble sheets to hierarchical architectures where 2-dimensional (2D) graphene sheets are assembled into three-dimensional (3D) composite materials or foams. These materials have applications in electronics, mechanics, energy storage and catalysis.

In addition to graphene, Prof. Palermo demonstrates the exfoliation of layered materials such as BN, MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, etc. that have complementary conductive, semiconductive and insulating properties paving the way for new composite 2D metamaterials.

Moreover, self-standing and robust nanosheets featuring a large variety of chemical structures can be obtained from the polymerization of small molecules through directional 2D crystallization or cross-linking of self-assembled monolayers.

These different approaches provide unlimited possibilities for the creation of 2D structures inspired by graphene.
