Hydrogen as a clean energy resource is considered as one of the most promising
alternatives to alleviate energy crisis and environmental pollution, which induces the urgent …

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is one of the most broadly utilized solid lubricants with a wide
range of applications, including but not limited to those in the aerospace/space industry …

We study the environmental instability of mechanically exfoliated few-layer black
phosphorus (BP). From continuous measurements of flake topography over several days …

Group 6 transition metal dichalcogenides (G6-TMDs), most notably MoS2, MoSe2, MoTe2,
WS2 and WSe2, constitute an important class of materials with a layered crystal structure …

Exfoliation of two-dimensional (2D) materials into mono-or few layers is of significance for
both fundamental studies and potential applications. In this report, for the first time surface …

Chemical vapour deposition of two-dimensional materials typically involves the conversion
of vapour precursors to solid products in a vapour–solid–solid mode. Here, we report the …

In this work, we demonstrate that gas adsorption is significantly higher in edge sites of
vertically aligned MoS2 compared to that of the conventional basal plane exposed MoS2 …

A highly efficient, reproducible, and scalable approach for exfoliation of MoS2 is critical for
utilizing these emerging materials from coatings and composites to printable devices …

Over the past decade, research on atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) transition metal
dichalcogenides (TMDs) has expanded rapidly due to their unique properties such as high …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) materials offer opportunities to explore both fundamental
science and applications in the limit of atomic thickness. Beyond the prototypical case of …
