A groundbreaking study from Seoul National University reveals exciting developments in the field of 2D materials. Researchers successfully achieved scalable growth of α-MoO3 nanosheets using the van der Waals (vdW) epitaxial growth method on a graphene substrate. These nanosheets exhibit remarkable properties, including thickness-insensitivity, unique friction behavior, and consistent electronic properties. The findings open up new possibilities for applications in optoelectronic devices, power electronics, and dielectric layers.
