Low Dimensional Materials

Low Dimensional Materials

Low dimensional materials, such as two-dimensional (2D) materials, one-dimensional (1D) nanowires, and zero-dimensional (0D) quantum dots, have unique structural and electronic properties that make them highly effective for energy and catalytic applications. These materials exhibit high surface area, tunable electronic properties, and exceptional catalytic activity, making them ideal candidates for applications in energy storage, conversion, and catalysis. Combining high-resolution imaging, electron diffraction, and spectroscopy, multimodal TEM enables scientists to understand active sites, defects, and interfaces at the atomic scale, driving the development of advanced materials for more efficient and sustainable energy and catalytic technologies.
