- The method presented in this paper is of practical importance for producing 2D materials at scale, but also of profound fundamental significance, calling into question standard definitions of colloids and solutions. This was the first paper to show that nanoparticles can be thermodynamically stable in solution. The was widely covered in the scientific press, including in the Chemical Engineer [https://www.thechemicalengineer.com/news/scalable-liquid-method-for-2d-nanomaterials/], Materials Today [www.materialstoday.com/nanomaterials/news/simple-solution-to-nanomaterial-production/], and the Naked Scientist [https://www.thenakedscientists.com/podcasts/short/new-dimension-graphene-production]. The method is covered by a patent application (WO/2015121682,2014,https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2015121682&_cid=P10-K2OSCB-15246-1). It has led to two fellowships [EP/P023851/1, £355,843; EP/S001298/1, £612,657] and was presented at MRS, Boston, USA [Page7, https://www.mrs.org/docs/default-source/meetings-events/fall-meetings/2018/symposium-session-pdfs/symposium-ep03.pdf?sfvrsn=d96fbb10_4 ]
