Universal Method for Large-Scale Synthesis of Layered Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

The layered transition metal dichalcogenides are currently amongst the most intensively investigated materials. These compounds constitute a broad family of materials, with characteristic layered structures, covering both semiconductors and metallic materials. The great attention arises from the possibility to exfoliate these materials down to single layers with many unique properties, such as thickness dependent band-gap …

Chemically reduced graphene contains inherent metallic impurities present in parent natural and synthetic graphite

Graphene-related materials are in the forefront of nanomaterial research. One of the most common ways to prepare graphenes is to oxidize graphite (natural or synthetic) to graphite oxide and exfoliate it to graphene oxide with consequent chemical reduction to chemically reduced graphene. Here, we show that both natural and synthetic graphite contain a large amount …
