Brief description Liquid metal chemistry towards grain boundary-free electronic materials. This project aims to develop ultra-thin materials with minimal grain boundaries for electronic applications by advancing knowledge of liquid metal chemistry. The difficulty of synthesising high quality, low-dimensional materials, particularly atomically-thin films, is the major impediment prohibiting the wide scale use of semiconducting nanosheets by the electronics industries. Improving crystal quality, while also offering scalability, is a key challenge. This project will develop new synthetic approaches by using room temperature liquid metal based chemistry. The outcomes of this project will lay the foundation of the industrial scale application of these highly functional materials, which will enable cost efficient production of energy efficient electronics.
