Some 2D materials such as graphene, silicene (different from silicone), black phosphorus, and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are electrically and mechanically superior to others.
These materials can give rise to high-speed photodetectors, advanced sensors, hi-tech flexible electronics, and solar cells much more efficient than the ones we use today.
However, currently, scientists don’t have the perfect technique to manipulate and process these 2D materials, and this prevents us from harnessing their potential. However, findings from a new study reveal a solution to this problem.
A team of researchers from Finland’s University of Jyväskylä and Serbia-based University of Novi Sad suggest that ultrafast laser processing can help us unlock the potential of 2D materials.
