Scalable production of 2D Materials now achievable using liquid phase, electrochemical, and chemical exfoliation methods
A series of novel 2D materials have been produced from layered crystals using sonication assisted liquid phase exfoliation (LPE), electrochemical exfoliation (EE), chemical exfoliation (CE) and wet-jet milling (WJM). Our 2D-PRINTABLE partners have demonstrated that different LPE approaches can yield nanosheets in quantities that enable the practical exploitation of these novel materials for device applications.
Liquid phase exfoliation has proven to be one of the most efficient methods to deliver nanosheets in large quantities. Ultrasonication-assisted LPE has been used to produce nanosheets from rarely investigated layered materials, such as As2S3, AsSbS3 and SnGe, in ambient and inert conditions. Similarly, novel 2D nanosheets from the transition metal mono-, di- and trichalcogenide families (including InSe, MoWSe2, HfSe3) have been produced in lab-scale quantities using electrochemical exfoliation.
Congratulations to 2D-PRINTABLE partners on this achievement!
