Production and characterisation of new 2-dimensional materials

该项目将重点研究功能3D层状晶体的生长方法，以及随后将这些材料剥离成单独的2D层的方法。剥离将通过标准的机械剥离和碱金属插层，然后在极性溶剂中溶解，形成纳米片状溶液来实现。回收的纳米薄片将用一系列技术进行研究，以确定其结构、组成、形态和电子性质。

This project will focus on methods for the growth of functional 3d layered crystals and the subsequent exfoliation of these materials into individual 2d layers. The exfoliation will be achieved via standard mechanical exfoliation and also by alkali-metal based intercalation followed by dissolution in polar solvents, to form nanosheet solutions. The recovered nanosheets will be investigated with a range of techniques to determine their structure, composition, morphology and electronic properties.
