In recent years, there has been growing interest in the search for two-dimensional (2D) layered piezoelectrics. Such layered van der Waals piezoelectrics are particularly useful for niche applications such as actuators with atomic-scale precision and wearable sensors. In addition, 2D piezoelectrics can function as nanoscale power generators for nanoscale devices. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">The discovery of 2D piezoelectrics has mostly been on an ad hoc basis. A systematic search through a 2D materials database is required to uncover 2D materials which are most suited for use as piezoelectrics. The research team led by Associate Professor QUEK Su Ying from the Department of Physics, National University of Singapore, performed such a systematic search through a database of 2,940 layered van der Waals materials using high-throughput first principles calculations. Of the 2,940 materials, the team identified 109 materials that exhibit piezoelectric effects in the single layer form. Among these materials, about 10 of them are found to have exceptionally large piezoelectric coefficients with the highest being those for NbOI<sub>2<\/sub>. Materials with high piezoelectric coefficients generally give better piezoelectric performance. The results of the high throughput search are provided in the figure below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">The excellent piezoelectric performance of NbOI<sub>2<\/sub> is reflected in its predicted electromechanical coupling factor, which has the maximum possible value of unity in this material. The research team isolated few-layer NbOI<sub>2<\/sub> crystals and performed laser scanning vibrometer studies on bulk and few-layer NbOI<sub>2<\/sub> crystals to measure their piezoelectric response. They found that NbOI<sub>2<\/sub> displayed a piezoelectric response that is much larger than reference materials in both the bulk and few-layer samples.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">NbOI<sub>2<\/sub> belongs to a family of niobium oxydihalides (NbOX<sub>2<\/sub>: X = Cl, Br, I) which have large piezoelectric coefficients. The researchers made a more detailed study of this material family and found that NbOX<sub>2<\/sub> has an intrinsic ferroelectric polarisation as its crystal structure is not symmetrical in the x-direction (see figure (right)). Interestingly, the piezoelectric coefficients are the largest for NbOI<sub>2<\/sub>, while the ferroelectric polarisation is largest for NbOCl<sub>2<\/sub>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Prof Quek said, \u201cThe class of NbOX<sub>2<\/sub> materials has great potential for applications. Our work showed that one of its members, NbOI<sub>2<\/sub>, had the best piezoelectric performance among the 2,940 materials in our study. Furthermore, we found that its piezoelectric performance is independent of thickness. This is unlike other 2D piezoelectrics such as molybdenum disulfide, where the piezoelectricity is not present when there is an even number of layers. The thickness-independence of piezoelectricity in NbOX<sub>2<\/sub> is useful for practical applications where the control of the material thickness may be particularly challenging.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.science.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/317._Quek_SY_PHY_20220616_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-36889\" width=\"617\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.science.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/317._Quek_SY_PHY_20220616_1.jpg 963w, https:\/\/www.science.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/317._Quek_SY_PHY_20220616_1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.science.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/317._Quek_SY_PHY_20220616_1-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 617px) 100vw, 617px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Figure shows (left) the sheet piezoelectric stress tensor elements computed for 2,940 different materials in their monolayer form.
