The Scotch tape method, also known as micromechanical cleavage or mechanical exfoliation, is a simple yet powerful technique used to isolate thin layers of two-dimensional (2D) materials from their ...

Researchers have started to look at 2D materials that do not have a 3D counterpart. Traditionally, 2D materials are isolated by a process called mechanical exfoliation –taking the bulk material and ...

"2D materials are really fascinating because ... than would be possible through a more widespread technique of mechanical exfoliation that uses tape in the collection process.

The development of advanced characterization techniques and standardized protocols for quality control is essential for ensuring the reproducibility and reliability of LPE-produced 2D nanomaterials.

Researchers transformed 2D kaolinite into 3D amorphous cement using chemical reactions in an alkaline medium. This ...

MoS 2 is one of the most popular 2D materials because of its facile exfoliation and excellent optoelectronic properties. It features a well-defined bandgap in its 2H type and good absorbance in ...
