Project Goal
The overarching goal of this project is to establish a sustainable synthesis of molecularly curved nanographenes and examining their properties and potential applications.
Our goal is to apply mechanochemistry for the synthesis of carbon-rich nanomaterials with emphasis on functionalized molecular graphene structures. We would like to use ball-milling processes to achieve this goal. In doing so, we would like to reduce dependency on organic solvents which are often hazardous and costly. The other advantages of a mechanochemical synthesis are that they are mild, fast, scalable, and efficient. We would like to harness these attributes in the rapid preparation of a new family of nanostructures. The synthesized materials will be studied for their properties and potential applications.
