Two-dimensional Materials and Devices

We are pleased to welcome you to the International Workshop on Two-Dimensional Materials and Devices hosted by the Faculty of Applied Science and Textiles of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), which is also one of the workshop series of PolyU 85th anniversary events.

Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) layered materials are of great scientific and technological significance, since its experimental discovery by A. K. Geim and K. Novoselov in 2004, who won the Nobel Prize in physics in 2010. A fundamental understanding of the extraordinary structural, electronic, optical, and chemical properties of 2D layered materials and in particular, their interfaces with other materials, is vital for many applications, including field effect transistors, photodetectors, hybrid energy conversion/storage, and biosensors.

In PolyU, a number of our colleagues have been intensively working on the research topics of 2D materials, including fundamental physics and chemistry, information science, and clean energy etc. Previously, we successfully organized the 2nd International Conference on Two-Dimensional Layered Materials (2DMAT) in 2016. We hope that you will enjoy the technical program about to unfold in the next few days, and that we could promotes the inter-institutional collaborations on important scientific topics.
