From batch to flow-based methods for production and modification of 2D materials (Prof Mainak Majumder, Monash University)
Bulk 2D materials are primarily obtained from layered 2D minerals such as graphite, molybdenite, boron nitride etc. by breaking intermolecular bonds. Forces which are used for breaking intermolecular bonds include externally imposed mechanical forces, or internal...
Liquid state of post-transition metals for 2D materials’ interfacial synthesis (Prof Kourosh Kalanter-Zadeh, UNSW)
Liquid metal-based processes can offer significant possibilities to the world of two dimensional semiconductors. Surface of liquid metals may be layered in specific cases. These layered media can be oxidised or sulphurised and then harvested. The surface of liquid...
How to control the chemical derivatization of graphene oxide? (Dr Cécilia Ménard-Moyon, CNRS)
The relatively low-cost production of graphene oxide (GO) and its dispersibility in various solvents, including water, combined with its tunable surface chemistry, make GO an attractive building block for multifunctional materials. There are many applications for...
Nanocarbons in industrial devices: Supercapacitors with increased energy density (Dr Sebastian Pohlmann, Skeleton Technologies)
Nanocarbons are an important part of capacitive energy storage in Supercapacitors. This presentation delves into how different material properties influence final device performance, giving insight into important metrics for designing carbon materials for energy...
