Chemistry of 2-Dimensional Materials: Beyond Graphene: Faraday Discussion 227

Graphene's exceptional chemical and physical properties make it suitable for use in opto-electronics, energy, and biomedical applications. However, developing chemical strategies for other 2D materials like transition metal dichalcogenides is a significant challenge. This Faraday Discussion covers all areas related to other 2D materials chemistry, from theoretical/computational prediction to synthesis and functionalization, yielding 2D and 3D systems with tailor-made physical properties for composites, foams, coatings, membranes, (bio)sensing, (electro- and photo-)catalysis, energy conversion, harvesting, and storage, (opto)electronics, nanomedicine, and biomaterials.

Graphene, a remarkable material with extraordinary chemical and physical properties, finds extensive applications in opto-electronics, energy, and biomedical fields. However, one of the major challenges lies in developing and mastering chemical strategies for other 2D materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides. Nature boasts an abundance of over 3000 layered compounds, each with unique chemical compositions and structures, offering a wide range of physical properties. This Faraday Discussion encompasses all aspects related to other 2D materials' chemistry, ranging from theoretical/computational predictions to their synthesis and functionalization, resulting in 2D and 3D systems with tailor-made physical properties for composites, foams, coatings, membranes, (bio)sensing, (electro- and photo-)catalysis, energy conversion, harvesting, and storage, (opto)electronics, nanomedicine, and biomaterials. This volume brings together internationally renowned researchers from diverse fields to focus on four key themes: 2D materials production and generation of functional inks, Biomedical applications, Applications in energy, and Applications in opto-electronics. By bringing together experts from these interdisciplinary domains, this volume aims to shed light on the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities in the field of other 2D materials, paving the way for innovative applications in various industries.
