Abstract
A method of synthesizing a layer of two-dimensional material or a stack of layers of two-dimensional material comprises: providing (101) a liquid precursor composition on a flat surface of a liquid metal, the liquid metal being a metal or metal alloy having a melting point of less than or equal to 250° C. at a pressure of 1 atm; and forming (102) at least one layer of material on the surface of the liquid metal from the liquid precursor composition. By forming the layer or stack on the surface of the liquid metal, large layers and stacks which are free of wrinkles and creases may be obtained. Also provided are an apparatus useful for performing the method, and products such as energy storage devices obtainable by the method.
