Molybdenum Disulfide – an inorganic analogue of Graphene and other interesting inorganic nanomaterials for the future

The technology scouting services arm of Del Stark Technology Solutions has published a new technology briefing on Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2), which can be described as an inorganic analogue of Graphene.  Molybdenum Disulfide has demonstrated exciting properties including a low coefficient of friction, robustness and a direct electronic bandgap.  This has excited the research community and industry as future electronic circuits and components could be made from MoS2.  
 

Why is this of interest?  Graphene is currently grabbing the headlines and is the topic of many papers and patents including composite materials, conductive and transparent coatings and touch screen displays, but Graphene needs to be modified in order to create a bandgap and MoS2 exhibits a bandgap naturally.    Molybdenum disulfide has been used for many years as an industrial lubricant and many scientists believe it can be used as a 2-D platform for electronic devices.  MoS2 could radically impact the electronics industry and its growing area of research and product development in producing the next generation of transistors.  


The report highlights academic research published in 2012 that could be of interest to companies developing new technologies that involve inorganic nanomaterials.  The report also highlights companies and research organisations that are patenting.

Silicene, Graphyne, Graphdiyne and Graphane - a Technology Briefing and Scouting Report that looks beyond Graphene

The technology scouting services arm of Del Stark Technology Solutions has published a new technology briefing on Silicene, Graphyne, Graphdiyne and Graphane to look at materials beyond Graphene.  This 106 page report provides access to news, patents, academic research findings and also highlights universities and institutes working in the field, as well as, companies and research organisations that are patenting. 

Silicene has been described as the graphene equivalent for silicon and has attracted tremendous attention as it could have a wider impact on the future developments in expanding areas of spintronics and nanoelectronics. 

Silicene has a tunable band gap and displays interesting physical, magnetic, and electronic properties and structurally it has been described as a honeycomb configuration.  These features have been highly contrasted in the literature against graphene, demonstrating that silicene has a richer structure.   This structure can be used for functionalisation and developing future electronics and electro-magnetic correlated devices.   The possible compatibility of silicene with current silicon-based micro-/nano technology will be of huge industrial interest.  

Some expert views from the report:

“Silicene is one of hot materials and promising as a material used for device applications.”  - Noriaki Takagi, Department of Advanced Materials Science Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo

“Silicene is expected to enter industry in a big way because the Silicon technology is very well developed and much of that may be used to develop Silicene based electronics.” - Dr.Gautam Mukhopadhyay, Institute Chair Professor in Physics, Physics Department, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay,

The report also looks at Graphyne, Graphdiyne and Graphane.
