A collaborative research team has fabricated a soccer ball-shaped construction using edge-to-edge assembly of 2D semiconductor materials. The research has been featured on the cover of the online edition of the Angewandte Chemie International Edition journal.
The research team, led by Professor In Su Lee and Ph.D. candidate Sun Woo Jang from the Department of Chemistry at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), along with Professor Kwangjin An from the Department of Energy and Chemical Engineering at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), successfully controlled the interaction between the edges of 2D-silica nanosheets (2D-SiNS) to create a soccer ball-like structure.
