Nowadays, the large-scale synthesis of 2D materials is an exciting and challenging research area. But unfortunately, the need for large-area 2D films significantly obstructs the development of new technologies based on these novel materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At the School of Applied and Engineering Research Labs, we employ experiments and numerical simulations to study 2D Materials synthesis to develop novel strategies for the large-scale defect-free synthesis of those materials. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is the most promising method for synthesizing large-area, high-quality monolayer 2D materials because we can control an extensive range of parameters such as the growth substrate, elemental precursors, temperature, and pressure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n School of Applied and Engineering Research Labs News:<\/span><\/strong> We theoretically proved that we can grow phosphorene on a nickel substrate. We successfully synthesized high-quality bulk crystals of 2D materials, including black phosphorous, MoS2, and other transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), while continuing to work on targeting single-crystal growth.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition, we are working to scale up the production of high-purity 2D crystals and their atomically thin films to match the current industrial demand for these emerging technologies.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Related publications:<\/strong><\/p>\n
