Key milestones and updates from 2D-PRINTABLE project
We are excited to bring you the latest news on the 2D-PRINTABLE project, and its developments in novel 2D materials and heterostructures for Printed Digital Devices using sustainable liquid exfoliation and deposition methods. In this edition, we highlight significant advancements and key milestones achieved by our partners across Europe.
Latest project results
Advancements in 2D Materials Functionalisation:
Recent advancements in the defect and covalent functionalisation of two-dimensional (2D) materials have been achieved, using transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) as the model substance. Read more about this achievement on our website here.
Synthesis of Novel 3D Crystals and Their Exfoliation:
The novel 3D synthetised crystals were subjected to liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE), resulting in new 2D materials displaying outstanding properties. These materials were subsequently exfoliated by sonication-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation in different solvents and by electrochemical exfoliation.

Diverse Exfoliation Techniques for High-Quality 2D Materials:
A series of novel 2D materials have been produced from layered crystals using sonication assisted liquid phase exfoliation (LPE), electrochemical exfoliation (EE), chemical exfoliation (CE) and wet-jet milling (WJM). Our 2D-PRINTABLE partners have demonstrated that different LPE approaches can yield nanosheets in quantities that enable the practical exploitation of these novel materials for device applications, read more about this achievement on the 2D-PRINTABLE website.

Graphene Flagship
Bringing together 118 academic and industrial partners in 12 research and innovation projects and 1 coordination and support project, the Graphene Flagship initiative will continue to advance Europe’s strategic autonomy in technologies that rely on graphene and other 2D materials. The initiative, which builds on the previous 10-years of the Graphene Flagship, is funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. The 2D-Experimental Pilot Line, addressing the challenges of upscaling 2D material production processes for the semiconductor industry, is another key component of the Graphene Flagship eco-system.
