Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) have become materials of choice for applications spanning optoelectronics, atomically thin coatings, and high-throughput and high-selectivity membranes. In such applications, the exposure of 2D materials (e.g., hBN) to liquids underscores the importance of understanding 2D material-liquid interactions.
