Functional Two-Dimensional Superatomic Materials
Presented By: Wendy (Shoushou) He
Abstract:
Superatoms are atomically precise clusters that, like atoms, can be robust fundamental units of solids. When superatoms are installed into 2D materials, we can produce a tunable class of materials known as the superatomic 2D materials, for which we can use molecular cluster chemistry to modify their structures and thereby tailor the materials’ properties. In my thesis talk, I will highlight my work on modifying the surface of 2D superatomic Re6Se8Cl2, creating 2D superatomic catalysts, and electrochemically doping Re6Se8Cl2 to enhance its electrical transport properties.
