Nayak P.K. (Ed.) Two-dimensional Material: Synthesis, Characterization and Potential Applications

ExLi4EvA, 2016. — 279 p. — ISBN: 9535125559; 9535125540This book provides a comprehensive view and state-of-the-art knowledge about 2D materials such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) and so on.
There are only a few discoveries and new technologies in materials science that have the potential to dramatically alter and revolutionize our material world.
Discovery of two-dimensional (2D) materials, the thinnest form of materials to ever occur in nature, is one of them. After isolation of graphene from graphite in 2004, a whole other class of atomically thin materials, dominated by surface effects and showing completely unexpected and extraordinary properties, has been created.
The book consists of 11 chapters contributed by a team of experts in this exciting field and provides latest synthesis techniques of 2D materials, characterization and their potential applications in energy conservation, electronics, optoelectronics and biotechnology.Synthesis Strategies about 2D Materials
