Organic Porous Structures on 2D Defect Networks

NUS scientists have developed a method for self-assembly of hexagonal organic porous structures on molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) film to create ordered nanostructures. The properties of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichacogenides (TMDs) are often strongly modified by defects which are introduced during their growth process.
