چکیده

We proposed and developed an exfoliation process for layer-structured NaxCoO2 to prepare CoO nanosheets. Na+ ion exchange by acid treatment was utilized to expand the spacing between the two CoO2 layers in NaxCoO2. Ethylamine was then effectively utilized for the exfoliation of cobalt oxide sheets having nanometer-order thickness and high aspect ratio. CoO nanosheets were observed by TEM micrographs and electron diffraction patterns after drying. Further efforts are needed for the application of exfoliated sheets to an integration process to fabricate self-assembled nanomaterials such as desired layer structures composed of two (or more) kinds of nanosheets.

Exfoliation of large-area transition metal chalcogenide single layers

Isolating large-areas of atomically thin transition metal chalcogenide crystals is an important but challenging task. The mechanical exfoliation technique can provide single layers of the highest structural quality, enabling to study their pristine properties and ultimate device performance. However, a major drawback of the technique is the low yield and small (typically < 10 μm) lateral size o...

Structure and Dynamics of NaxCoO2 and the Hydrated Superconductor

The properties of the NaxCoO2 class of materials are of interest from a number of viewpoints. These compounds are based on a triangular lattice of spin-1⁄2 ions—prototype RVB system— where a high thermoelectric-power Curie-Weiss metallic paramagnet is found for Na0.7CoO2, a charge ordered insulator at x=0.5, and a paramagnetic metal where superconductivity is induced in Na0.3CoO2 when it is int...

Graphene-Graphene Interactions: Friction, Superlubricity, and Exfoliation.

Graphite's lubricating properties due to the "weak" interactions between individual layers have long been known. However, these interactions are not weak enough to allow graphite to readily exfoliate into graphene on a large scale. Separating graphite layers down to a single sheet is an intense area of research as scientists attempt to utilize graphene's superlative properties. The exfoliation ...
