Abstract
One of the challenges associated with the development of next-generation electronics is to find alternatives to silicon oxide caused by the size-reduction constraints of the devices. The dielectric properties of two-dimensional (2D) crystals, added to their excellent chemical stability, mechanical and thermal properties, make them promising dielectrics. Here we show that liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) in water by using low-cost commercial organic dyes as dispersant agents can efficiently produce defect-free 2D nanosheets, including mono-layers, in suspensions. We further show that these suspensions can be easily incorporated into current practical graphene-based devices. In particular, it is found that boron nitride thin films made by LPE are excellent dielectrics that are highly compatible with graphene-based electronics.
