There are several methods to synthesize 2D nanomaterials, including:
- Mechanical Exfoliation: This method involves peeling off layers from bulk materials using adhesive tape. It is simple but not suitable for large-scale production. - Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): In CVD, gaseous reactants react on a substrate to form thin films of 2D nanomaterials. This method is scalable and can produce high-quality materials. - Liquid-Phase Exfoliation: This involves dispersing bulk materials in a solvent followed by sonication to create thin layers. It is a scalable method but may result in lower-quality materials.
