In recent times, one of the largest issues has been the adoption of future industrial creations. The fourth generation of optoelectronic devices requires advanced nanotechnology, meaning high-quality nanocrystals with huge surface areas and durability. Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted significant attention in recent years thanks to their unique optical, electrical, and mechanical properties. [1] Being one or a few atoms thick, these materials have the potential to revolutionize a wide array of applications, including their functionality in quantum computing. In this report, we will be exploring the various methods of 2D material synthesis and the current challenges faced. Focusing on a 2D stacking technique, we can learn the characteristics of 2D materials more in depth while learning the intricacies of the process. This methodology, while labor-intensive, is able to yield a high-quality end product while keeping the cost low and maintaining the overall simplicity of the techniques used. At the end of it, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the method as well as future developments in the synthesis of 2D materials.
