Two Dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications

This book presents advanced synthesis techniques adopted to fabricate two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) materials with its enhanced properties towards their utilization in various applications such as, energy storage devices, photovoltaics, electrocatalysis, electronic devices, photocatalysts, sensing and biomedical applications. It provides detailed coverage on everything from the synthesis and properties to the applications and future prospects of research in 2D TMD nanomaterials.  

Narayanasamy Sabari Arul received his Ph.D. in Nanoscience and Technology from Bharathiar University, Tamil Nadu, India, following which he has worked as a visiting Ph.D. research fellow at Lunghwa University of Science and Technology, Taiwan and Brain-Korea (BK21) Postdoctoral Fellow at Hanyang University, Seoul, South Korea and Assistant Professor in Dongguk University-Seoul, South Korea. His research interests include synthesis of metal oxide nanocomposites and thin films, nanomaterials, quantum dots, perovskites and two-dimensional dichalcogenides for photocatalysts, photovoltaic cells, memory devices, supercapacitors, and electrochemical sensors. He has published more than 45 SCI journal articles and 20 papers in proceedings of international conferences and holds one US and Korean Patent. Dr. Arul also serves as a referee for various journals in Springer, Elsevier, Royal Society of Chemistry and Institute of Physics.
