Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Two-dimensional polymers (2DPs) are atomically thin crystalline organic materials with potential for novel heterostructures.
  • Organic-inorganic 2D van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) offer unique physicochemical properties.
  • Developing scalable synthesis methods for 2DPs and their heterostructures is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the on-water surface synthesis of large-area monolayer 2D polyimide (2DPI).
  • To achieve scalable synthesis of 2DPI-graphene (2DPI-G) vdWHs.
  • To investigate the charge transfer dynamics in the synthesized vdWHs.

Main Methods:

  • On-water surface synthesis of monolayer 2D polyimide (2DPI) with metal-free porphyrin and perylene units.
  • Face-to-face co-assembly of graphene and 2DPI on water for 2DPI-G vdWH synthesis.
  • Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy to probe interlayer charge transfer.

Main Results:

  • Large-area (cm²) monolayer 2DPI with a 3.1-nm lattice was successfully synthesized.
  • Scalable synthesis of 2DPI-G vdWHs was achieved via co-assembly on water.
  • Ultra-fast interlayer charge transfer (ca. 60 fs) was observed in 2DPI-G vdWHs upon protonation, comparable to inorganic 2D vdWHs.
  • Strong interlayer electronic coupling attributed to cation-π interaction between 2DP and graphene.

Conclusions:

  • On-water synthesis provides a scalable route to high-quality 2DPI and 2DPI-G vdWHs.
  • The synthesized vdWHs exhibit exceptionally fast charge transfer dynamics.
  • The findings highlight the potential of 2DP-based vdWHs for advanced electronic applications.
