Divide and conquer: exploiting entropy to grow nanoscale barrier materials
Divide and conquer: exploiting entropy to grow nanoscale barrier materials
The full promise of materials structured at the nanoscale can be realized only if they can be manufactured more efficiently and at the sizes required for device integration. An innovative method takes advantage of thermodynamic and kinetic effects to control the growth of stacked 2D nanosheets that can be used for practical applications from the nanoscale to the macroscale. This is a summary of: Vargo, E. et al. Functional composites by programming entropy-driven nanosheet growth. Nature 623, 724–731 (2023). Access options
