Synthesis and Applications of 2D Nanomaterials

3 credits · Undergraduate

Structure-property relationships and applications of atomically thin, two-dimensional materials and 2D/layered systems. Preparation by mechanical exfoliation, solution processing, and bottom-up synthesis. Nucleation/growth of 2D materials via gas/solid, liquid/solid, and catalytic/phase transformation reactions. Kinetic vs. thermodynamic processing, stabilizing meta-stable intermediates, interface engineering, and scale-up. Prerequisite: CHEM 1602 or MSE 1500; junior standing. [3]
