Controllable synthesis of multifunctional boron-based 2D materials

该项目旨在控制硼基二维（2D）材料的合成，这些材料在单个或多个方面具有所需的以下特征：厚度，成分，横向尺寸，孔隙率，表面积和功能性。它打算通过设计和合成新的前体，以及优化用于不同应用的硼基2D纳米片的制造工艺来实现这一目标。该项目将推进我们在合成化学，材料化学，材料工程和物理学的基础知识。预计它将使我们更接近于释放硼基2D材料在实际应用中的潜力，例如能源存储和高性能柔性电子产品。

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.
