Bottom-up (aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition, AACVD) and top-down (liquid phase exfoliation, LPE) processing methodologies are used in tandem to produce colloids of few-layer thick rhenium disulfide (ReS2) in N-methyl pyrrolidone.
Controlled synthesis of group VB transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers and few-layers with defined coordination and stacking is the key to the property investigation and device applications.
Surface active carbon species depend on the type of metal substrates during graphene chemical vapor deposition, which implies different growth modes of graphene on the transition-metal surfaces.
