Chemical Engineering
The worlds of electronics, optics and catalysts are in continuous quests for finding low energy alternatives to current systems. It is expected that low-dimensional materials, such as quantum dots and atomically thin (two dimensional – 2D) structures, offer the sought-after alternatives, paving the way for future low energy units. A significant portion of CASLEO research is focused on such investigations. These materials are synthesised using post transition metals, which are base of liquid metals. Additionally, new processes based on liquid metals can also be applied on transition metals for the creation of low dimensional entities.
Figure 2 Presents the formation of two-dimensional materials from liquid metal reaction environment.
