Materials for photonics and electronics
C2D materials and beyond: tomorrow’s printable low-dimensional nanostructures and hybrids
Sustainable liquid-processing techniques yield inks of 2D, 1D and 0D materials which can be printed into networks, hybrids, composites heterostructures with extraordinary physical and chemical properties for ground-breaking applications in optoelectronics, energy, sensing, and advanced composites.
Scope:
The ability to solution-process and print nanomaterials has enabled huge advances in their characterisation and application in energy generation and storage, optoelectronics and composites. While the recent focus has been on 2D materials, there remains considerable interest in the solution-processing of 1D nanotubes and nanowires as well as 0D nanoparticles.
The scope of the symposium incorporates a broad and diverse materials set. Although the focus is solution-processed 2D materials, it also includes 1D and 0D compounds. A large number of distinct 2D materials can be made, single-walled carbon nanotubes can be solution-separated into various types by chirality and electronic structure, while a broad range of dispersible inorganic nanowires and nanoparticles can be made and utilized with unmatched efficiency.
The scope includes areas related to solution processing, printing & deposition, composite & hybrid formation, characterisation and applications of 2D materials as well as 1D and 0D systems. Specifically, we welcome submissions on: experimental demonstration, perhaps guided by computational prediction, of new solution-processable 2D, 1D or 0D materials; studies of their unique physical and chemical properties, including novel methods for multiscale characterizations; the development and optimization of printing and liquid-deposition methods to form large-area films, networks and heterostructures with interesting properties and the fine-tuning of those properties; demonstration of proof-of-concept applications in energy generation (e.g. solar, electromagnetic) and storage (e.g. ion batteries and supercapacitors), physical sensing (e.g. piezoresistive, temperature sensing), chemical sensing (e.g. of specific analytes in gases or liquids), opto-electronics (e.g. transistors, photodetectors, solar cells, LEDs, memory) and solution-processed composites (e.g. mechanical, conductive, and EMI shielding materials).
Hot topics to be covered by the symposium:
- Synthesis of novel layered materials with tuneable physical properties
- Production of novel 2D materials through exfoliation in liquid media
- Solution processing of 1D and 0D materials
- Ink formulation and thin-film processing via printing
- Printed and solution-deposited films, networks and heterostructures comprising 2D, 1D & 0D materials
- Solution-processed composites and hybrids incorporating 2D, 1D & 0D materials
- Characterization of inks, printed films, hybrids and composites
- Theory and modelling, including machine learning and AI methods
- Applications in energy, sensing, digital devices, opto-electronics and composites
