Project C02 develops precise chemistry methods to attach dyes and charge-transfer molecules to 2D TMD materials. It creates novel covalent TMD hybrids with controlled coverage, location, and orientation of molecules, including Janus-type monolayers and bilayers, to tailor their optical and electronic properties for advanced functional materials.

Experimental methods: covalent functionalization, surface photochemistry, nanofilm patterning and transfer, Raman spectroscopy, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry
