2D Materials and Devices Group

 

Welcome to the 2D Materials and Devices Homepage

We're a research group based in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy at the University of Cambridge.

 

Our research deals with fundamental aspects of two-dimensional materials synthesized by chemical exfoliation and chemical vapor deposition. We study: phase engineering of 2D materials; low resistance electrical contacts on 2D semiconductors for high performance electronics; metallic 2D materials for energy storage and electrocatalysis; interfaces between 3D complex oxides and 2D; and chemical functionalization of 2D materials.

 

 

       

 

 

 

  

 

Where are we?
 

Our lab is on the fourth floor of the new building for the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy. Opened in 2013, the purpose-built building is in the West Cambridge site on the edge of Cambridge and less than a kilometre from Eddington. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who Are We?

 

Led by Prof. Manish Chhowalla, our research group consists of 9 postdoctoral researchers, 11 PhD students and a Masters students, as well as Dr. Peter Knight, the group's technician, and Ana Talaban-Bailey, Prof. Chhowalla's PA. We investigate methods to synthesise 2D materials and work with them in a range of applications including devices, electrocatalysis and batteries.
