Our research interests are synthesis, integration and characterisation of low-dimensional nanomaterials with a particular focus on two-dimensional (2D) materials.
Using advanced in-situ and high-resolution materials characterisation techniques, we develop rational synthesis and integration protocols for carbon (graphene, carbon nanotubes) and related inorganic nanomaterials (hexagonal Boron-Nitride, transition metal dichalcogenides, pnictogens). Key techniques for nanomaterials synthesis are chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and, since recently, also liquid-phase-exfoliation (LPE). For materials characterisation we in particular employ a unique combination of spectroscopic and diffractive in-situ techniques during realistic synthesis and processing conditions (in-situ x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and x-ray diffractometry (XRD)) coupled with high-resolution (scanning) transmission electron microscopy ((S)TEM).
We thereby aim to facilitate industrially-scalable, controlled growth of low-dimensional nanomaterials and enable their controlled device integration with other functional materials such as metals, metal-oxides and organics. This contributes to realisation of a wide range of nanomaterials applications including low-cost, transparent, flexible electronics, efficient low-cost energy harvesting/storage/conversion devices and ultrathin functional coatings of structural materials.
We are very grateful to several funding agencies and our academic and industrial partners for supporting our work.
To date Dr. Bayer has acquired a total of ~3.5M EUR third-party funding as principal investigator incl. from European Research Council(ERC), FFG (Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft/Austrian Research Promotion Agency), European Commission/ Marie-Sklodowska-Curie-Actions and OeAD (Agentur für Bildung und Internationalisierung).
