2D Materials

2D materials are thin, planar materials that are composed of a single layer or a few layers of atoms. Examples of 2D materials include graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, and transition metal dichalcogenides. These materials have unique physical and chemical properties that are different from those of bulk materials, and they have attracted significant interest from researchers and industry due to their potential applications in fields such as electronics, energy storage, and sensing. 2D materials are typically produced by exfoliating bulk materials into thin layers, or by synthesizing them directly from precursors using techniques such as chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition. They are often used as functional layers or coatings in various types of devices and systems.
