2D-nanostructures

In principle, any material with a layered structure can form 2D nanocrystals!  Large range of materials:

1. Graphite, hBN, SnS2 2. Transition Metal Chalcogenides 3. Transition Metal Oxides

 All possible electronic properties:

1. Metals (NbSe2) 2. Semi-metals (graphene) 3. Semiconductors (WS2, MoS2) 4. Insulators (MnO2) 5. Superconductors (TaS2) 6. Charge-density waves (NbSe2)

 Potential Applications:

  • 1. Nanocomposites
  • 2. Solar Cells
  • 3. Photocatalysts
  • 4. Batteries
  • 5. Supercapacitors

Production of 2D-nanostructures

 Micromechanical cleavage  Chemical Vapour Deposition  Liquid Phase Exfoliation:

  • 1. via intercalated intermediate
  • 2. via addition of surfactants
  • 3. directly in solvent

Stability of dispersions is achieved by matching surface energy of the 2D nanocrystal with the surface energy of the solvent!

Conclusions

 Monolayers can be readily identified with ADF STEM  2D nanostructures do not necessarily have stacking of the bulk counterparts  So far no-one published atomically resolved image
