Abstract

Two dimensional (2D) nanomaterials such as graphene and transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have attracted tremendous attention over recent years due to their unique properties and potential for numerous applications. Given the wide range of compositions of 2D-layered materials that have emerged in recent years, it is not surprising that they offer a rich spectrum of properties, ranging from metallic, insulating, superconducting to semiconducting. Here we report on the solution-based production of 2D layered material flakes, in particular graphene and MoS2 where the materials are chemically exfoliated in organic solvents which can then be ink jet printed using a commercially available material printer, for printed electronics applications.
