Forschungsförderungsprojekt
The 2D or 3D linking of nanoparticles is still a challenge, as well as research concerning the association of ionic species with nanoaprticles. The originality of this fundamental chemistry proposal lies in the combination of nanoparticles organization and concomitantly the introduction of ionic species. Furthermore, it is a new and original method for letting modified nanoparticles react with one another. This will result in covalently linking nanoparticles by means of an ionic linker. The cationic group will be part of the network formed by linked nanoaprticles, while the anion is still free in the entwork and should induce ionic conductivity. For this project we will focus on the synthessi of the new hybrid materials and on the evaluation of the ionic conductivity and ion exchange properties. With this aim we propose the investigatino of the scope of the new preparative approach with regard to modifying the nature of the ionic bridge as wel as the nature and size of the nanoaprticles. These modifications will be correlated with the ionic conductivity and ion exchange properties of the materials. The innovation of this proposal concerns the proposed method, which is very promising and should be very efficient and general.
