Summary in English and Photo
The successful commercialization of 2D materials requires the integration of these fascinating materials into real-world applications and devices. Since 2D materials are the active components that determine the performance of these systems, it is important to rationally design, engineer and manufacture hierarchical hybrid architectures at both nano- and macroscale that can enjoy all of the necessary requirements for given applications. However, conventional micro-fabrication techniques have proven to be inconvenient in the construction of cost-effective micro-devices, thus limiting their widespread use. To address this challenge, inspired by nature, we proposed that through a simple, yet novel solvophobic self-assembly processing approach based on 2D materials liquid crystals, nacre-mimicking, hybrid composite materials (consisting of 2D and 1D materials) can be made incorporating many of the exciting attributes of graphene and other 2D materials into practical real-world devices with emphasis on energy storage devices and thermoelectric materials. To date, I have designed and fabricated many different architectures combining LC GO as a template to self-assemble and engineer hybrid materials spanning a long list of polymers and metal oxides for different applications using a number of state-of-the-art technologies including 3D printing, fiber spinning, spray pyrolysis, etc. However, this method still has shortcomings in which it fails to frame a clear picture on how we can regulate the self-assembly processes required for the fabrication of intrinsically complex vdW heterostructures using simple solvent-based methods. Addressing this challenge and understanding what forces are the governing factors behind such self-assembly processes is the next logical step that should be taken to describe the dynamics of these forces and exploit them to fabricate state-of-the-art multifunctional devices.
