Abstract

Abstract: Since the discovery of graphene just over a decade ago, 2D materials have been a central focus of materials research and engineering because of their unique properties and potential of revealing intriguing new phenomena. In the past few years, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have also attracted considerable attention because of the intrinsically opened bandgap. The exceptional properties and potential applications of graphene and TMDs have inspired explosive efforts to discover novel 2D materials. Here, emerging novel 2D materials are summarized and recent progress in the preparation, characterization, and application of 2D materials is highlighted. The experimental realization methods for these materials are emphasized, while the large‐area growth and controlled patterning for industrial productions are discussed. Finally, the remaining challenges and potential applications of 2D materials are outlined. Abstract : Recent advances in the growth of novel 2D materials beyond graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides are comprehensively reviewed. The in‐depth and balanced growth methods of these novel 2D materials are presented. The daunting quest for novel 2D materials poses great potential in electronics and other applications.
