Abstract:

Two-dimensional nanomaterials have attracted much attention in the last two decades because of their unique properties. These materials have versatile properties not only because of the extraordinary properties provided by the nanoscale, but also because of their structures that can go down to atomic thickness. Two-dimensional nanomaterials exhibit better electronic, optical, mechanical, etc. properties than those bulk forms. Because of these properties, these nanomaterials have been widely used in various application fields such as energy conversion/storage, optoelectronic applications, sensor development, various biomedical applications, catalysis, etc. In this review, properties, structures, synthesis methods and application areas of various two-dimensional nanomaterials, especially graphene, will be introduced and discussed.
