CHEMICALLY TUNABLE 2D MATERIALS
Abstract
Chemically Tunable 2D Materials This project will innovate new 2D layered materials with chemically tunable opto-electronic properties for Military application. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene and layered chalcogenides, nitrides, and oxides, are an exciting class of materials with extraordinary physical and chemical behaviors. These high-performance materials have the potential to enable an entire fleet of new applications ranging from electronics to photonics. Within three years, we will achieve: (i) Opto-electronic silicon chalcogenide-based 2D materials, (ii) Material coatings that change color from transparent to blue either chemically or when heated (iii) Chemically tunable materials with optical and electronic properties adaptable for a specific device application We offer a transformative set of solid-state chemistry techniques, based on the intercalation of zero-valent metals into layered materials, coupled with applied expertise that sets us apart. Our work opens new ground for accessing novel opto-electronic properties and is key to enabling technological application of 2D materials. These efforts will also lay the foundation for the fundamental understanding and the chemical control of 2D materials in innovative technologies. Materials developed from this research have the potential to enhance Naval applications such as heat-sensitive coatings and opto-electronic materials through chemistry. This proposal well matches the scientific vision of the ONR in producing basic research aimed at addressing future technological needs of the military through novel materials.
