Time-saving production of 2D materials

Professor Howard’s group at UCL are using Vector to optimise their 2D materials development processes. 2D materials such as graphene are transformative for electronics, energy storage, sensors, coatings, composites, and biomedical devices and research into their development and
manufacture is a key goal.


Vector is an integral part of the group’s material discovery and production workflow. Its rapid measurement throughput is essential for locating and characterising monolayers and stacks of new 2D materials in each produced batch, providing vital and accurate feedback for rapid assessment and iteration of each material ‘recipe’. Vector has reduced the development of new materials from months and years, to weeks.
