2024 Broader Impact Highlights
Recent advances in 2D material theory, synthesis, properties and applications

What Has Been Achieved: A review article was published in ACS Nano highlighting advances in the theory, synthesis, properties and applications of 2D materials.  

Importance of Achievement:  The review article highlights rapidly evolving research in 2D materials that was presented at the 2022 Graphene and Beyond Workshop. 

Unique Features of the MIP That Enabled Project:. The Graphene and Beyond Workshop is an annual meeting co-sponsored by 2DCC. The 2022 workshop included a special session to highlight 2DCC user talks. This review paper featured research highlights presented at the workshop and included 7 2DCC users as co-authors.
