Abstract
Along with the explosive interest in graphene research, much
attention has been paid to other two-dimensional (2D) materials such as
transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN).
In particular, the stacking of various 2D materials in the vertical and lateral
directions has been studied recently, as novel physicochemical properties are
expected that could result in new applications for electronic devices. In this
Perspective, recent advances in the stacking of 2D materials are discussed from
the point of view of materials chemistry. In particular, methods for stacking of
2D materials (h-BN/graphene, graphene/WS2 (or MoS2)/graphene, etc.), the
properties of vertically and laterally stacked 2D materials, and possible
applications are discussed. Finally, we discuss important emerging issues to be
studied in future.
