Electrical, Plasmonic, and Optical Properties of 2D Nanomaterials

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have received tremendous attention in recent times because of their optical, electrical, and plasmonic properties, which have many uses in optoelectronics. These uses span from light-emitting diodes and optical sensors to photovoltaic solar cells and photo-electrochemical cells. Metal nanomaterials may generate a wide range of fascinating hybrid nanostructures with exceptional plasmonic capabilities, thanks to the 2D shape and atomically thin thickness that characterize 2D materials. Furthermore, the hybrid nanostructures display unprecedented optical capabilities that are the result of the interaction between plasmonic optical effects and the particular physicochemical features of 2D materials. These capabilities emerge from the interplay between these two factors. Because of the synergistic relationship between plasmonic optical effects and the odd physicochemical features of 2D materials, hybrid systems made up of graphene or other 2D materials and plasmonic metal nanostructures offer exceptional optical properties. These qualities are a result of the fact that plasmonic optical effects enhance the peculiar physicochemical properties of 2D materials.
