Research interest

Our group focuses on the controllable synthesis and property investigation of wafer-scale graphene and other two-dimensional (2D) materials with precisely controlled layer uniformity for integrated circuit applications. We employ chemical vapor deposition (CVD) to prepare graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), halide compounds, as well as 2D van der Waals heterostructures stacked from these materials. Meanwhile, the group also dedicates efforts to exploring surface adsorption and catalytic properties of low-dimensional materials.
