Waterproof molecular monolayers stabilize 2D materials
Significance A family of strong yet removable 1- to 2-nm-thick ultrathin monolayer is developed as a corrosion inhibitor for 2-dimensional materials that significantly prolong lifetime while protecting optoelectronic properties in both ambient and harsh chemical or thermal environments. This method is low in toxicity and can be applied to arbitrary substrate with no size limit.
