NSF awards UIC $1.44M to discover new 2D materials for better batteries

Green Car Congress

Two-dimensional materials, of which graphene is the most common, are extremely strong, lightweight, flexible, and excellent conductors of heat and electricity. Since the discovery of graphene in 2004, about 700 2D materials are predicted to be stable; many remain to be synthesized. This will be revolutionary. —Amin Salehi-Khojin.
