GREAT BRITAIN–(ENEWSPF)–4 February 2011. A new way of splitting layered materials, similar to graphite, into sheets of material just one atom thick could lead to revolutionary new electronic and energy storage technologies.
An international team, led by Oxford University and Trinity College Dublin scientists, has invented a versatile method for creating these one-atom thick ‘nanosheets’ from a range of materials using mild ultrasonic pulses, like those generated by jewellery cleaning devices, and common solvents. The…
