Description

Plasma Induced Incorporation of Single Metal Atoms in 2D Materials for Versatile Applications

This project is part of a 4-year Dual PhD degree program between the National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan) and the University of Liverpool (England). As part of the NTHU-UoL Dual PhD Award students are in the unique position of being able to gain 2 PhD awards at the end of their degree from two internationally recognized world-leading Universities.

The project aims to develop single metal atom incorporation or doping by plasma functionalization into 2D materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD), Mxene, and 2D metal-organic frameworks (2D MOFs) for a range of applications, including; energy storage, gas sensing, electrochemistry, and catalysis. The ultimate goal is to demonstrate a new way to fabricate perfectly ordered single atom doping in 2D materials.
