SFB1415 granted
The Chair of Electrochemistry is a member of the team of the CRC1 415, which has now been granted by the DFG. We are looking forward to an exciting research!
Within the CRC 1415 the Chair of Electrochemistry will work on the work package B08 "In-Situ Surface-Enhanced Vibrational Spectro-Electrochemistry of 2D Framework Materials".
New nanomaterials: CRC 1415 “Chemistry of Synthetic Two-Dimensional Materials”
The economy of the 21st century is enabled and fuelled by advanced materials for electronics and technologies. In this respect, the arena of two-dimensional materials (2DMs) became popular over the last decade, because 2DMs offer great promise in applications ranging from electronic devices to catalysis, and from information technology to medicine. 2DMs represent a class of nanomaterials with single- to few-layers thickness (≤ 10 layers) and high structural definition at the atomic/molecular level.
The Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1415 “Chemistry of Synthetic Two-Dimensional Materials” will aim at the controlled bottom-up synthesis and the development of novel classes of synthetic 2DMs with high structural definition. Moreover, the development of in-situ and ex-situ spectroscopic, microscopic and diffraction characterization methods plays a key role. The third focal point of the research initiative is to theoretically tackle the chemical and physical phenomena of 2DMs using advanced theoretical methods and models, and to predict the 2DM’s formation and their physical and chemical properties.
The CRC 1415 will initially be funded with 7.7 million euros.
