Synthesis, doping and properties of two-dimensional materials

In this article, we present an overview of some popularly adopted synthesis methods of two-dimensional (2D) materials. We demonstrate doping methods which provide insights into the substrate impacts on synthesis of materials and provide routes to manipulate 2D layered materials‟ intrinsic electronic and magnetic properties of monolayer MoS2. We also describe methods of synthesizing different heterostructures and elucidate their new transport and electronic properties.
