Objectives and Action Plan 

The Energy2Devices action plan involves the following activities:

Development of novel low-dimensional materials:

1. Fabrication of two-dimensional materials and heterostructures using top-down and bottom-up techniques for the development of temperature-control and heat-management devices.

2. Analysis, control, and modulation of transport properties in low-dimensional materials through nano- and micro-scale electrical and thermal engineering techniques.

3. Design and fabrication of MOFs, COFs, and their hybrids using sustainable and scalable approaches.

Advanced characterization of thermal and electrical properties of materials and devices:

1. Advanced nano- and micro-scale characterization methods for temperature and thermal properties of materials.

2. Measurement of low-dimensional semiconductor devices and nano- and micro-scale characterization of their local heating.

3. Characterization of storage capacity in porous solids and diffusive systems, as well as their interaction energy.

Improvement of the efficiency of electro-thermal and electro-diffusive devices:

1. Enhancement of the efficiency of low-dimensional electronic devices through thermal engineering strategies.

2. Development, modeling, and engineering of thermal management systems for batteries and electronics to achieve homeostatic behavior, in collaboration with our start-up Thermaflux.

3. Investigation of new energy conversion phenomena at the water–energy nexus, purification processes, and the use of materials with memory effects.
