Description

High performance chalcogenide processing addressing grand challenges. This project aims to meet the growing need for micro- and nano- scale material processing, device fabrication and characterisation for chalcogenides, 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and van der Waals heterostructures based on allotropes of S, Se, Te etc for addressing the grand challenges of i) next generation data processing devices for increasing volume and speed of modern information and communication technologies; ii) high performance photovoltaics and smart windows for renewable energy generation and sustainable living; iii) rational design of photo-catalysts for clean hydrogen generation; iv) ultrasensitive gas sensors for detecting greenhouse gasses and v) ultra-violet (UV) sensors for preventing skin cancer. . Scheme: Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities. Field: 4016 - Materials Engineering. Lead: Prof Anita Ho-Baillie
