  1. Covalent chemistry of 2D materials

    1. Graphical abstract: covalently linked and van der Waals heterostructure transistors Fabrication of devices featuring covalently linked MoS2–graphene heterostructures A bifunctional linker joins MoS2 and graphene directly on graphene transistors. I led the exfoliation and covalent modification of MoS2 and the spectroscopic proof of the covalent junction. Vázquez Sulleiro, M.; Develioglu, A.; Quirós-Ovies, R.; Martín-Pérez, L.; Martín Sabanés, N.; Gonzalez-Juarez, M. L.; Gómez, I. J.; Vera-Hidalgo, M.; Sebastián, V.; Santamaría, J.; Burzurí, E.; Pérez, E. M. Nature Chemistry 14, 695–700
    2. Graphical abstract: two MoS2 flakes bridged by a bismaleimide Covalent cross-linking of 2H-MoS2 nanosheets A bismaleimide linker bridges two MoS2 flakes into vertical assemblies with a defined spacing. I designed the chemistry, from exfoliation to cross-linking and validation. Selected as a Hot Paper. Vázquez Sulleiro, M.; Quirós-Ovies, R.; Vera-Hidalgo, M.; Gómez, I. J.; Sebastián, V.; Santamaría, J.; Pérez, E. M. Chemistry – A European Journal 27, 2993–2996
    3. Controlled covalent functionalization of 2H-MoS2 with molecular or polymeric adlayers Equal first author. A mild maleimide protocol for semiconducting MoS2, tunable from molecular layers to polymer shells. I defined the reaction conditions and brought surface characterisation (Raman, XPS, AFM) to the group. Selected as a Hot Paper. Quirós-Ovies, R.; Vázquez Sulleiro, M.; Vera-Hidalgo, M.; Prieto, J.; Gómez, I. J.; Sebastián, V.; Santamaría, J.; Pérez, E. M. Chemistry – A European Journal 26, 6629–6634
    4. Clicking beyond suspensions: understanding thiol–ene chemistry on solid-supported MoS2 Moves covalent chemistry on MoS2 from dispersions to flakes lying on a surface, which is where devices are made. Rodríguez González, M. C.; Ibarburu, I. M.; Rebanal, C.; Vázquez Sulleiro, M.; Sasikumar, R.; Naranjo, A.; Ayani, C. G.; Garnica, M.; Calleja, F.; Pérez, E. M.; Vázquez de Parga, A. L.; De Feyter, S. Nanoscale 16, 3749
    5. Direct magnetic evidence, functionalization, and low-temperature magneto-electron transport in liquid-phase exfoliated FePS3 Extends covalent chemistry to magnetic van der Waals materials. I designed and validated the thiol–maleimide functionalisation while preserving the magnetic properties of the flakes. Martín-Pérez, L.; Medina Rivero, S.; Vázquez Sulleiro, M.; Naranjo, A.; Gómez, I. J.; Ruiz-González, M. L.; Castellanos-Gomez, A.; Garcia-Hernandez, M.; Pérez, E. M.; Burzurí, E. ACS Nano 17, 3007–3018
    6. Chemical Communications front cover Microwave-induced covalent functionalization of few-layer graphene with arynes under solvent-free conditions From my PhD. A solvent-free microwave route in which graphene acts as both reagent and microwave absorber. I brought aryne chemistry from CIQUS to the Prato group. Front cover of the issue. Vázquez Sulleiro, M.; Quiroga, S.; Peña, D.; Pérez, D.; Guitián, E.; Criado, A.; Prato, M. Chemical Communications 54, 2086

  2. Sensing

    1. Pathogen sensing device based on 2D MoS2/graphene heterostructure With Encarnación Lorenzo (UAM). I designed and synthesised the covalent graphene–MoS2 component, assembled by electrografting on screen-printed electrodes for pathogen detection. Enebral-Romero, E.; Gutiérrez-Gálvez, L.; Del Caño, R.; Vázquez Sulleiro, M.; Naranjo, A.; Gómez, I. J.; Pariente, F.; Pérez, E. M.; García-Mendiola, T.; Lorenzo, E. Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical 392, 134105
    2. Graphical abstract of the review on 2D materials for sensing 2D materials towards sensing technology: from fundamentals to applications Our view of how 2D materials are used in sensing, from the basic principles to working devices.

  3. Luminescent nanocarbons

    1. Graphical abstract: graphene quantum dots emitting across the visible, with cell images Exploring the emission pathways in nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots for bioimaging I led the photophysical and mechanistic study that traces where the emission of nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots comes from. The start of an independent collaboration with CEITEC. Gómez, I. J.; Vázquez Sulleiro, M.; Dolečková, A.; Pizúrová, N.; Medalová, J.; Roy, R.; Nečas, D.; Zajíčková, L. The Journal of Physical Chemistry C 125, 21044–21054
    2. Spontaneous formation of carbon dots helps to distinguish molecular fluorophores species Shows that emission usually attributed to carbon dots can come from aggregates of small molecular fluorophores. I coordinated and carried out the fluorescence and NMR characterisation. Gómez, I. J.; Vázquez Sulleiro, M.; Pizúrová, N.; Bednařík, A.; Lepcio, P.; Holec, D.; Preisler, J.; Zajíčková, L.
