Hybrid Graphene

“Graphene-based hybrid structures”

12th & 13th october 2011
European Physical Society headquarter, Mulhouse



Scope.
When graphenes are piled up in limited number (from 1 to ~10), the related few-graphene-crystals (FGCs) thus formed are able to exhibit physical properties different from that of pristine graphite. Graphene and FGCs are promising materials for applications such as the next generation of nanoelectronic devices for communications and computers, components for batteries and solar cells for energy storage and production, composites for aeronautics (environment, energy, structural composites…) and others among which some are certainly yet to discover. Thanks to the intense research activity that has taken place worldwide since 2004 to tentatively explain all the aspects of graphene- and FGC-related physical properties and behaviours, several drawbacks and limitations have been revealed which need to be overcome. For instance, the main drawback limiting the potential use of graphene stems from its intrinsic characteristics: a semiconductor with zero gap, almost inert towards controlled chemisorption and doping. One challenge is then to functionalize the graphene layer while preserving its fascinating properties (quasi-relativistic and chiral character of the quasiparticles, long coherency length, …). One way to reach this goal is to consider hybrid structures, i.e., the combination of graphenes or FGCs with foreign components (atoms, molecules, functional groups, clusters, nanocrystals) by the various possible means (substitution, physisorption, functionalization, and intercalation).

This workshop intends to bring together a multidisciplinary community (material scientists, surface science physicists, chemists, physical chemists of soft matter and theoretical chemists in the field of surface chemistry) to explore the various possibilities to prepare hybrid graphene-based structures, the resulting properties and behaviours, and the integration of the resulting materials into functional devices and materials.

The meeting will be held in Mulhouse, at the European Physical Society headquarter. In order to promote dynamic discussion the attendance is limited to 50 persons.

Workshop outline.
This is an open program that will be constructed in function of the received propositions. Among the possible sessions we could already list:
(A)   Intercalation of compounds (graphite, epitaxial graphene)
(B)   Reactivity of graphene and other allotropic form of carbon
(C)   Graphene and supramolecular chemistry
(D)  Hybrid structure, for which potential applications? (supercapacitor, biological sensor, solar cell applications,...)

Invited speakers.
A. Bianco (IBMC, Strasbourg, France)
Graphene, a new functional platform for biological application
G. Dujardin (ISMO, Orsay, France)
Atomic-scale electronic properties of graphene at edges and molecular adsorption sites
C. Hérold (IJL, Nancy, France)
Role of graphene in graphite intercalation compounds
V. Palermo (ISOF, Bologna, Italy)
Not a molecule, not a polymer, not a substrate ... The many faces of graphene as chemical  platfor/Presentation of the Flagship
A. Pénicaud (CRPP, Bordeaux, France)
Graphene from graphite : intercalation then exfoliate
M. Ruben (IPCMS, Strasbourg, France and KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany)CRPP, Bordeaux, France)

M. Sicot (Uni Konstanz, Konstanz, Germany)
Magnetic nanoclusters on graphene moiré: nucleation, growth and intercalation
F. Vonau (IS2M, Mulhouse, France)

- The Symposium will start at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, Oct. 12th and end at 12:30pm on Thursday, Oct. 13th, 2011.
- Invited speakers: There will be 30 minutes time slots. Sufficient time will be reserved for discussions. The list of invited speakers will be announced.
- Oral and Poster contributions: Oral presentation will be 15 min short. If needed Posters will be lining walls and presented during the offered cocktail diner.

It is expected that the guide lines for the roadmap of the French contribution to the “Flagship on Graphene” European R&D program will come out from this workshop. To discuss and share new ideas, needs and possible new concepts, all participants are welcomed to propose a short presentation even if their research activity is not directly related to the graphene.
