A U.S.-French research group has developed a 2D perovskite solar cell with enhanced electron flow and a threefold increase in the electron conduction of the perovskite material. Perovskite cells built ...

Perovskites are among the most researched topics in materials science. Recently, a research team has solved an age-old challenge to synthesize all-organic two-dimensional perovskites, extending the ...

The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...

Twisted electronics: Columbia University researchers have shown that they can fine-tune the electronic, mechanical, and optical properties of 2D heterostructures like graphene on boron nitride by ...

Scalable 2D-type MoO3 nanosheets were synthesized via van der Waal epitaxy growth method. Its electrical and mechanical properties of MoO3 nanosheets are maintained even at a few layer level and the ...

In order to realize their commercial use, the prerequisite is large-scale production. Bottom-up strategies like chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and chemical synthesis have been extensively explored ...

The recent progress on two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals ferroelectrics may revolutionize the applications of ferroelectric (FE) materials in nanoelectronics. Their atomic-thickness renders ...

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, materials that can conduct electricity and are only a few atoms thick, are promising alternatives to the conventional silicon-based semiconductors currently used ...

2D-XRD, or two-dimensional X-ray diffraction, is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline materials at the nanoscale. It provides detailed ...
