My research will focus on self-assembly of organically cross-linked structures of 2D materials for clean energy applications. The 2D semi-conducting and quantum materials have well-defined atomic structure and architecture. Integrating 2D materials with functional organic molecules into well-controlled molecular to nano-scale architectures will lead to novel and synergistic properties and functions. Monolayer or few layer MoS2 will be prepared through mechanical and chemical exfoliation. Organic molecules will be self-assembled on the nanoflakes and cross-linked into layered structures. The unique band structures, limited electrons, and incomplete band bending of such materials will be exploited to realize unique catalytic, transport, and storage properties. In-situ STM, novel...
