Researchers in Japan have created functional materials with advanced three-dimensional nanostructures that conduct electricity based on the idea that unique reactions occur at interfaces of water and oil. As they spread a solution containing organic linkers on aqueous solution of metal ions the substances begin assembling their components in a hexagonal arrangement forming nanosheets where the liquid and air meet. They used two barriers to compress the nanosheets into more dense and continuous state. The process produced thin nanosheets with highly organized crystalline structures, tightly ordered crystals also indicated the electrical properties of the material. They are now studying how various parameters affect the nanosheet morphology with the goal of developing a controllable and tunable methodology to create high-quality nanosheets with targeted electronic properties…read more.
