AbstractThe production of 2D material flakes in large quantities is a rapidly evolving field and a cornerstone for their industrial applicability. Although flake production has advanced in a fast pace, its statistical characterization is somewhat slower, with few examples in the literature which may lack either modelling uniformity and/or physical equivalence to actual flake dimensions. The present work brings a methodology for 2D material flake characterization with a threefold target: (i) propose a set of morphological shape parameters that correctly map to actual and relevant flake dimensions; (ii) find a single distribution function that efficiently describes all these parameter distributions; and (iii) suggest a representation system—topological vectors—that uniquely characterizes the statistical flake morphology within a given distribution. The applicability of such methodology is illustrated via the analysis of tens of thousands flakes of graphene/graphite and talc, which were submitted to different production protocols. The richness of information unveiled by this universal methodology may help the development of necessary standardization procedures for the imminent 2D-materials industry.

Effective cancer treatment requires early detection and monitoring the development progress in a simple and affordable manner. Point-of care (POC) screening can provide a portable and inexpensive tool for the end-users to conveniently operate test and screen their health conditions without the necessity of special skills. Electrochemical methods hold great potential for clinical analysis of variety of chemicals and substances as well as cancer biomarkers due to their low cost, high sensitivity, multiplex detection ability, and miniaturization aptitude. Advances in two-dimensional (2D) material-based electrochemical biosensors/sensors are accelerating the performance of conventional devices toward more practical approaches. Here, recent trends in the development of 2D material-based electrochemical biosensors/sensors, as the next generation of POC cancer screening tools, are summarized. Three cancer biomarker categories, including proteins, nucleic acids, and some small molecules, will be considered. Various 2D materials will be introduced and their biomedical applications and electrochemical properties will be given. The role of 2D materials in improving the performance of electrochemical sensing mechanisms as well as the pros and cons of current sensors as the prospective devices for POC screening will be emphasized. Finally, the future scopes of implementing 2D materials in electrochemical POC cancer diagnostics for the clinical translation will be discussed.

Field Effect Transistor (FET)-based electrochemical biosensor is gaining a lot of interest due to its malleability with modern fabrication technology and the ease at which it can be integrated with modern digital electronics. To increase the sensitivity and response time of the FET-based biosensor, many semiconducting materials have been categorized, including 2 dimensional (2D) nanomaterials. These 2D materials are easy to fabricate, increase sensitivity due to the atomic layer, and are flexible for a range of biomolecule detection. Due to the atomic layer of 2D materials each device requires a supporting substrate to fabricate a biosensor. However, uneven morphology of supporting substrate leads to unreliable output from every device due to scattering effect. This review summarizes advances in 2D material-based electrochemical biosensors both in supporting and suspended configurations by using different atomic monolayer, and presents the challenges involved in supporting substrate-based 2D biosensors. In addition, we also point out the advantages of nanomaterials over bulk materials in the biosensor domain.

The magneto-optical effects play a prominent role in probing the exotic magnetism in 2D materials. Here, we present that the magneto-optical Kerr and Faraday effects in carrier-doped nitrogen–graphene crystals can be effectively mediated by electric, magnetic, and strain fields. Our results indicate that nitrogen–graphene crystals provide a novel 2D material platform for nano-spintronics and magneto-optical devices.

Abstract This work combines experimental atomic force microscopy (AFM) and DFT simulations to study oxidized metal (oxidized copper & titanium) and 2D material (graphene & MoS2) interfaces. Combining AFM and DFT allowed identifying the interfacial interaction and established a correlation between tribological behavior, interfacial charge distribution, and variations in the potential energy profile with sliding along the metal/2D-materials interfaces. The TiO2 (rutile) and CuO (cupric oxide) metal oxides were mostly found to chemisorb along the interface with the 2D-materials. Both the metal-oxide counter-surfaces (TiO2 and CuO) exhibited higher friction force and adhesion on graphene than on MoS2. The CuO surface was inferred to be copper rich based on comparison with DFT simulations. The interfacial electronic charge distribution and relative energy change were identified to strongly influence sliding and adhesive behavior between oxidized-metal/2D-material contacts when considering only electronic effects in the DFT simulations. More homogenous interfacial charge distribution/sharing and lower surface energy variation, as found on the MoS2 surfaces, were identified to lower friction and adhesion. Non-electronic effects not captured by simulations were found to likely dominate interfacial shear strength measurements experimentally. Therefore, MoS2 should be used in interfacial applications involving TiO2 and copper rich CuO surfaces requiring lower adhesion and friction.
