Foams-To-Films: A Facile Approach Towards Space-Confined CVD Growth of MoS.

2D materials have rapidly become the building blocks for the next generation of semiconducting materials and devices, with chemical vapor deposition (CVD) emerging as a prefered method for their synthesis. However, the predictable and reproducible growth of high quality, large 2D monolayers remains challenging. An important facet is controlling the local environment at the surface of the substrate - here, space-confinement techniques have emerged as promising candidates.
