Thermal transport in 2D layered chalcogenide-based heterostructures (C02)

• Subject Area: Solid State and Surface Chemistry, Material Synthesis ; Analytical Chemistry ; Polymer Materials
• Term: since 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 492723217

This project (Friedrich/Pauly) combines experiment and theory to understand and control the anisotropic heat and electron transport in nanostructured materials based on 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). By applying a novel synthesis method for pristine TMD nanosheets based on thermodynamically driven one-dimensional dissolution, we will prepare well-defined inorganic-organic hybrid materials. The highly anisotropic in- and crossplane heat and electron transport will be rationalized with exhaustive theory modelling using numerical procedures that aims to understand the transition from ballistic to diffusive transport.
