Controllable synthesis of multifunctional boron-based 2D materials. This project aims to make it possible to control the synthesis of boron-based two-dimensional (2D) materials with the desired following features in single or multiple aspects: thickness, composition, lateral sizes, porosity, surface area, and functionality. It intends to do so by designing and synthesising novel precursors, and by optimising the fabrication process of boron-based 2D nanosheets for different applications. The pro ....Controllable synthesis of multifunctional boron-based 2D materials. This project aims to make it possible to control the synthesis of boron-based two-dimensional (2D) materials with the desired following features in single or multiple aspects: thickness, composition, lateral sizes, porosity, surface area, and functionality. It intends to do so by designing and synthesising novel precursors, and by optimising the fabrication process of boron-based 2D nanosheets for different applications. The project will advance our fundamental knowledge in synthetic chemistry, materials chemistry, materials engineering and physics. It is expected to take us closer to unlocking the potential of boron-based 2D materials for real-world applications in, for example, energy storage and high-performance flexible electronics.Read moreRead less

Summary
Unravelling the spin transport properties in organic spintronic devices. This project aims to understand and control spin transport properties in organic semiconductors (OSC) and develop novel organic spintronic devices. OSCs have become the centre of attention in the spintronics community as they have very small spin-orbit coupling and hyperfine interactions, which lead to very long spin coherence times and make them ideal for spin transport. However, the basic mechanisms of spin injection, tra ....Unravelling the spin transport properties in organic spintronic devices. This project aims to understand and control spin transport properties in organic semiconductors (OSC) and develop novel organic spintronic devices. OSCs have become the centre of attention in the spintronics community as they have very small spin-orbit coupling and hyperfine interactions, which lead to very long spin coherence times and make them ideal for spin transport. However, the basic mechanisms of spin injection, transport, and manipulation in OSCs are still obscure. The project expects to clarify the spin-dynamics, which will advance our understandings of spin transport in OSCs and could contribute to the development of spin-based molecular electronics for future applications.Read moreRead less
