摘要
Transition metal telluride nanosheets have shown enormous promise for fundamental research and other applications across various fields.Still,until now,mass fabrication has been impossible,leaving the material as something of a laboratory curiosity rather than an industrial reality.But a team of researchers from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics(DICP)of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has recently developed a novel exfoliation process–using chemical solutions to peel off thin layers from their parent compounds,creating atomically thin sheets–that looks set to finally deliver on the ultra-thin substance’s promise.
