VPD Group publishes in Chemistry of Materials

An article by multiple members of VPD Group was recently published in "Chemistry of Materials." The article is titled, "Nanoparticle@MoS2 Core–Shell Architecture: Role of the Core Material." The authors from VPD Group include Jennifer DiStefano, Yuan Li, Hee Joon Jung, Akshay A. Murthy, Xiaomi Zhang, and professor Dravid.

When two or more materials with contrasting properties are combined,  the resulting composite materials can produce unique characteristics and have enabled significant progress in multiple engineering fields. When applied to nanomaterials, the ability of composites to produce new functionality is especially potent.

Per DiStefano, this paper explores the formation and properties of various core-shell nanocomposites using 2D materials, thereby employing the established core-shell structure in a new class of materials and providing critical structural and property information for future engineering of 2D materials.
