2D Inorganic Materials: from Atomic Crystals to Molecular Crystals

Abstract

Prof. Zhai Tianyou and co-workers introduce the concept of 2D inorganic molecular crystals, which are different from traditional 2D atomic crystals, such as graphene, MoS₂, black phosphorus, MXene, etc. The materials system is unique, and completely new to the community. Another research boom on 2D molecular materials may thus be drawn in the scope of electronics, energy and environment. This work has been published online in the Nature Communications in October 17, 2019.
