Functional Electroactive 2D-Materials for Bio and Chemical Sensing
FY 2023-24
Summary
The field of electroactive two-dimensional materials has grown exponentially. Current synthesis strategies rely largely on top-down approaches such as etching and exfoliation, which result in considerable differences in yield, structure, defect and impurity contents. In this sense, the bottom-up approach based chemical vapor deposition has a better chance of producing nanostructures directly onto a desired substrate with less defects and more homogenous chemical composition. The goal of the proposed renewal CRC on Functional Electroactive 2D-Materials is to intensify the fundamental and applied research to understand the behavior of different 2D-materials at the molecular-scale for sensing and clean energy harvesting applications.
