Graphene & 2D Materials

The one-atom-think crystal like graphene has fantastic properties and attracted tremendous interests in these years, which open a window to the landscape of the two-dimensional (2D) materials. There are a large variety of 2D materials beyond graphene that are to be explored. Using chemical solid reaction and chemical vapour deposition, we have successfully synthesized a wide spectrum of 2D materials (both single crystals and few layers), including: 1. Binary 2D materials: Borides (h- BN, WB), TMDs (MoS2, WSe2, MoSe2, WSe2, MoTe2, WSe2, ReS2, ReSe2, PtS2, PtSe2, PdS2, PdSe2, NbSe2, SnS2, SnSe, SnSe2, TiS3, HfSe3, HfTe3, TiSe2, TaTe2, TaSe2), and others (InSe, In2Se3, GaSe, SrSi2, Ta3S2, BiI3, PbI2), etc; 2. Ternary and multi-component 2D materials: BxCyNz, MoxW1-xS2, MoWTe4, MoS2xSe2(1-x), WSe2xTe2(1-x), ReS2xSe2(1-x), Ta2NiS5, Ta2NiSe5, Ta2ISe8, TixTa1-xS2, TixNb1-xS2, Ta3Pd3Te14, NiPS3, FePS3, ZnIn2S4, Ta2SeI, V2AlC, W2AlC, CuIP2S4, Tl2Mn2O7; 3. Heterostructured 2D materials: Graphene/h-BN, MoS2/WS2, WSe2/MoSe2; 4. Organ/Inorganic heterostructures: MoS2/Rubrene, Organic Perovskite/2D. Potential applications of 2D materials have been developed, such as ultrathin high-temperature oxidation-resistant coatings 2D anisotropic electronics (FETs, resonators and photodetectors), energy harvester, lithium ion battery and catalyst and wearable devices, etc. These applications pave a promising way to the large-scale applications of 2D materials.
