2D materials - wiki

2D Topological Materials, sometimes referred to as Single layer materials, are crystalline materials consisting of a single layer of atoms. Since the isolation of graphene, a single-layer of graphite, in 2004, a large amount of research has been directed at isolating other 2D materials due to their unusual characteristics and for use in applications such as photovoltaicssemiconductors, electrodes and water purification.

The global market for 2D materials is expected to reach $390 million USD within a decade, mostly for graphene in the semiconductor, electronics, battery energy and composites markets.
