Self-assembly of 2D metal oxide nanostructures for electrochemical energy applications

主講人 : 孫子其 教授

Two-dimensional (2D) materials present exotic electronic properties and high specific surface areas and demonstrate promising applications ranging from electronics to energy storage and conversion. The atomic thickness of 2D materials gives the materials with some fascinating properties compared with those in other dimensionalities. In this presentation, we will report a generalized approach to molecular self-assembly of ultrathin 2D nanosheets of transition  l oxides by rationally employing lamellar reverse micelles. It is worth noting that the synthesized crystallized ultrathin transition  l oxide nanosheets possess confined thickness, high specific surface area, and abundant chemically reactive sites, so that they have demonstrated promising applications in nanostructured electronics, photonics, sensors, and energy conversion and storage devices. To overcome some intrinsic disadvantages of pristine 2D materials, modification and heterostructure engineering have also proposed to further enhance the performance of 2D materials in sustainable energy storage and conversion applications.
