Abstract
In this talk, I will summarize the recent research on synthesis, characterization and applications of two-dimensional nanomaterials in my group [1]. I will introduce the synthesis and characterization of novel low-dimensional nanomaterials, such as  graphene-based composites [2] including the first-time synthesized hexagonal-close packed (hcp) Au nanostructures on graphene oxide [3], and the epitaxial growth of Pd, Pt and Ag nanostructures on solution-processable MoS2 nanoshees at ambient conditions [4], single- or few-layer metal dichalcogenide nanosheets [5] and hybrid nanomaterials [6], and large-amount, uniform, ultrathin metal sulfide and selenide nanocrystals [7]. Then I will demonstrate the applications of these novel nanomaterials in chemical and bio-sensors [8], solar cells [9], water splitting [10], hydrogen evolution reaction [4, 6d], electric devices [11], memory devices [12], conductive electrodes [8b, 9, 11a, 12a,b, 13], other clean energy [14], etc.
