Nearly-freestanding structures might provide a way to study the 2D catalytic properties of gold
Large-scale, nearly-freestanding two-dimensional (2D) gold monolayers, composed of nanostructured patches, have been successfully synthesised using a novel bottom-up approach.
The researchers say that the monolayers, which were found to be able to withstand high temperatures, could provide a useful platform for studying the catalytic activity of 2D gold.
