Using Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy to Separately Quantify the Effect of Strain on Nanosheet and Junction Resistance in Printed Nanosheet Networks.

Many printed electronic applications require strain-independent electrical properties to ensure deformation-independent performance. Thus, developing printed, flexible devices using 2D and other nanomaterials will require an understanding of the effect of strain on the electrical properties of nano-networks. Here, novel AC electrical techniques are introduced to fully characterize the effect of strain on the resistance of high-mobility printed networks, fabricated from of electrochemically exfoliated MoS nanosheets.

The liquid-phase exfoliation process has been successfully applied to nonlayered materials to produce quasi-2D nanoplatelets. A slight variation in bonding anisotropy in the starting material can result in the formation of 2D platelet-shaped particles with a relatively low aspect ratio. This advancement offers a promising strategy to create 2D materials from previously unexplored materials.

Production of Ultrathin and High-Quality Nanosheet Networks via Layer-by-Layer Assembly at Liquid-Liquid Interfaces.

Solution-processable 2D materials are promising candidates for a range of printed electronics applications. Yet maximizing their potential requires solution-phase processing of nanosheets into high-quality networks with carrier mobility (μ) as close as possible to that of individual nanosheets (μ). In practice, the presence of internanosheet junctions generally limits electronic conduction, such that the ratio of junction resistance () to nanosheet resistance (), determines the network mobility via μ/μ ≈ / + 1.
