2D Janus Nanoparticle Superlattice Sheets

该项目旨在通过开发一种新的配体对称性破缺策略来制造新型2D独立Janus超晶格。所提出的方法有望在自组装和新的2D等离子体纳米材料领域产生新的知识。该项目的预期成果包括制造一系列传统方法难以或不可能实现的2D Janus超晶格，研究其功能特性关系，并进一步将其应用于双功能等离子体催化剂/传感器/过滤应用。这将带来巨大的好处，例如为自组装开发新的设计原则，并提高澳大利亚在功能纳米材料领域的专业知识。

The project aims to fabricate novel 2D free-standing Janus superlattices by developing a new ligand-symmetry breaking strategy. The proposed approach expects to generate new knowledge in the area of self-assembly and the new class of 2D plasmonic nanomaterials. Expected outcomes of this project include the fabrication of a series of 2D Janus superlattices that are difficult or impossible to achieve in traditional methods, investigate their functional-properties relationship and further apply them into dual-functional plasmonic-catalyst/sensor/filtration applications. This should provide significant benefits, such as developing new design principles for self-assembly and advance Australian expertise in the field of functional nanomaterials.
