Two-dimensional nanomaterials play a key role in material innovation and property advancement. The structural study on the molecular scale is critical for understanding and control of the 2D crystal nucleation and growth. Using time-resolved liquid interface scattering techniques at NSF’s ChemMatCARS, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Chicago revealed 2D wurtzite ZnO nanosheet growth at the air-water interface. They observed a lateral to vertical growth kinetics switch phenomenon in the ZnO growth.
