2D Material-wrapped Copper Nanowires for High-performance Energy Devices

Abstract

Wrapping metallic nanomaterials with two-dimensional (2D) materials can significantly improve the physical properties required for various electronic and catalytic applications. However, synthesizing 2D material-wrapped metal nanowires with highly organized shell morphology is still difficult because of their large surface area and high aspect ratio. In this talk, I will present the synthesis and characterization of 2D material-wrapped copper nanowires with highly organized shell morphology by using 2D quantum dot assembly and flash light irradiation for high-performance energy devices.
