Researchers at Tokyo University of Science have developed a scalable method for producing highly conductive coordination nanosheets, addressing limitations in existing two-dimensional material synthesis. Led by Professor Hiroshi Nishihara, the team demonstrated the creation of nickel, copper, and zinc-based nanosheets using single-phase reactions, yielding ink-like solutions applicable as coatings or reactants. Validated through electrochemical analysis and hydrogen evolution reaction testing, the process enables the creation of heterometallic nanosheets with controlled atomic arrangements, potentially unlocking advancements in flexible electronics and catalysis, and supported by over $2.5 million in research funding.
