SHEAR ASSISTED ELECTROCHEMICAL EXFOLIATION OF TWO DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for shear assisted electrochemical exfoliation of a layered van der Waals solid (such as graphite, MoS₂, BN, or WS₂) into a 2D material, (such as graphene where the original layered van der Waals solid is graphite). The inventors have found that some limitations of electrochemical exfoliation techniques can be overcome, in part, with shear induced effects.
