New Capacitor Technology Based on Inorganic Nanosheets

Abstract

The recent development of graphene has provided new possibilities and applications for truly 2D material systems. This breakthrough has opened up the possibility of isolating and exploring the fascinating properties of 2D nanosheets of inorganic layered materials, which upon reduction to single/few atomic layers, will offer functional flexibility, new properties and novel applications. There is enormous interest in building devices and functional materials based on such 2D nanosheets of different compositions to complement those from graphene. Here, we present the progress made in the properties of 2D oxide nanosheets, highlighting emerging functionalities in electronic applications.
