The Chemistry of van der Waals Heterostructures Based on Conjugated 2D Metal-Organic Framework Monolayers (c-MOFene) (A09)

• Subject Area: Solid State and Surface Chemistry, Material Synthesis ; Physical Chemistry of Solids and Surfaces, Material Characterisation
• Term: from 2020 to 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 417590517

Dong’s project will develop MOF-based 2D-2D vdWHs by assembling 2D c-MOFs with graphene. These 2D c-MOFs are expected to be monolayer metals/semiconductors/TIs with tuned electronic structures and magnetic coupling. A Langmuir-Blodgett-assisted wet interfacial transfer approach will be developed for the precise assembly of 2D-2DvdWHs. A further function-driven focus is the discovery of the intriguing electronic, electrocatalytic and magnetic properties as well as the understanding of the interface-property relationship.
