Preface
The definition of materials is quite different in chemistry and physics. That is, a group of materials or compounds having novel functional or chemical properties are considered new materials in chemistry. From this point of view, the surface of a solid is quite interesting as a material, because chemical properties depend on the crystal planes; a different crystal plane has different chemical properties. For this reason, the property of solid materials known to us is that of their surface, and no one knows the real chemical property of the solid material itself. If we consider a two-dimensional material such as graphene, graphite, and MoS2, their surface is a one-dimensional edge. The different chemical property of a one-dimensional edge, the surface, is revealed by breaking it from that of the parent material. Graphite and MoS2 are very stable materials chemically and thermally, but with their one-dimensional edge formed by breaking, the surface of two-dimensional materials provides active new materials. In fact, the edge of MoS2 becomes an active catalyst as shown in this book. If the surface formed by breaking provides a new chemical material, the reaction of surface atoms would provide
