Materials discovery and design are some of the key factors that drive technological innovations needed for substantial societal impact. Accomplishing this requires renewed materials synthesis, modification and characterization efforts. Keeping this as the central theme, this talk will focus on our ongoing investigations into understanding fundamental properties of a variety of materials, for example, carbon-based nano-porous structures as well as atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials. Structure and properties for these materials, as it correlates for developing them for function specific applications will be discussed. Recent findings that have potential future applications pertaining to energy, environment and electronics will be covered. |
