Understanding the properties of layered nanostructures using in-situ TEM (2016–2019)

Abstract:

The development of layered chalcogenide nanostructures is a global research focus due to their potential applications in the energy sector. However, their structure-property link is unclear due to the lack of direct correlation between their structure and properties. This project aims, through closely correlating the structure (and structural variations) and properties (and varied properties) simultaneously determined from individual nanostructures inside a TEM, to establish the intrinsic structure-property link. This project will be first of its kind in this exciting research field. The new knowledge developed from this project will have a significant impact on the practical applications of layered nanostructure-based devices and systems.
