Write in Nature Communications, scientists form the University of Manchester demonstrate the exfoliation of mineral franckeite. The mineral is a van der Waals layered crystal, exhibiting phase segregation to sub-atomic scale and thus is the first natural heterostructure material known.
The material shows remarkable electrochemical properties and holds promise for a range of applications.
