Properties of metal-organic networks on modified weakly-interacting substrates
Černá, Lenka ; Švec, Martin (oponent) ; Jakub, Zdeněk (vedoucí práce)
This thesis focuses on the synthesis and characterization of two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) on both traditional metal substrates and modified weakly interacting substrates, specifically intercalated graphene. The unique properties of 2D materials, such as mechanical flexibility, large surface area, and accessible active sites, make them attractive for various applications, including flexible electronics, catalysis, sensors, and gas separation. Although MOFs have potential applications in various fields, most MOFs are electrical insulators with low charge mobility, which limits their use in electronic devices. The first part of this thesis explores the synthesis of a promising conductive metal-organic system on Au(111) using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). The second part of the thesis investigates the synthesis of MOFs on a modified graphene substrate using STM, low energy electron microscopy (LEEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). The results suggest that modification of the MOF support through intercalation can enable tuning of the charge transfer between the MOF and the support while preserving the structural integrity of the support-MOF interface. Overall, this work contributes to the understanding of the synthesis and characterization of 2D MOFs on both traditional metal substrates and modified graphene substrates.
