Introduction
The exceptional properties of 2D materials can be enhanced, broadened, and optimized through their integration with custom-designed molecules, using the principles of supramolecular chemistry. By harnessing the vast variety of molecules that can be engineered and synthesized with targeted functionalities, it becomes feasible to design 2D materials with tunable physical and chemical properties. This strategy facilitates the development of new functionalities and the creation of multifunctional hybrid systems tailored for electronic applications beyond traditional CMOS technologies, aligning with the “more than Moore” approach focused on functional diversification.[1]
In my lecture I will present our recent findings on the use of chemical approaches to develop flexible pressure sensors with enhanced characteristics [2] and complex multi-responsive opto-electronic devices capable to emulate brain-like logic operations.[3]
