Some 2D materials such as graphene, silicene (other than silicone), black phosphorus, and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are electrically and mechanically superior to others. These materials could give rise to fast photodetectors, advanced sensors, hi-tech flexible electronics and solar cells that are much more efficient than the cells we use today. However, scientists do not … Read more
