I am excited to share my last piece of work from PhD studies😄. We demonstrated a systematic study of graphene-molecular heterostructured films that release molecular intercalants over time to express chemical activities from edges or basal-planes.

Solution co-deposition of two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets with chemical solutes yields nanosheet–molecular heterostructures. A feature of these macroscopic layered hybrids is their ability to release...

The materials needed to create the seed coating are already available in the food industry, but more research is needed before this becomes widespread.
