Subproject A02
Table of contents
2nd Funding Period
Solution Processing of Side Chain Functionalized 2D Covalent Organic Frameworks
The project will investigate the synthesis and exfoliation of side chain modified covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as well as their integration/deposition into device architectures for electrocatalysis and to investigate their optoelectronic properties. The main tool to achieve ultra-thin layers is to use sonochemical methods to delaminate the layered starting materials, but also interfacial deposition is targeted.
1st Funding Period
Gas Adsorption Properties of Delaminated Layered 2D Covalent Organic Frameworks
The project will focus to develop methods to exfoliate 2D layered covalent organic frameworks (COFs) via solvent-assisted delamination methods. Furthermore, the gas adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics in dependence of the sheet thickness will be studied using adsorption measurements with different probe molecules. Last, the obtained 2D COFs will be functionalized with alkyl chains via post-synthetic methods, with the aim to tune the delamination and gas adsorption properties of the resulting materials.
