Materials Chemist specializing in 2D Materials
About Albert García
In 2019, Albert García led the team that first demonstrated scalable electrochemical exfoliation of boron nitride nanosheets directly onto flexible PET substrates, enabling wafer-scale integration without transfer steps, a bottleneck plaguing graphene electronics. Based at the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC), he bridges synthetic precision and device pragmatism: his lab’s custom-built ambient-pressure CVD reactor allows real-time Raman monitoring during MoS₂ growth, revealing how sulfur partial pressure governs defect density at sub-500°C. Fluent in Catalan, Spanish, and English, he co-developed the open-source '2DMatSim' toolkit for predicting stacking-dependent band alignments in van der Waals heterostructures, used by over 37 academic labs across Europe. His notebooks, digitized and annotated on Zenodo, show iterative failures with lithium-intercalated TaS₂ before achieving room-temperature superconductivity signatures in twisted bilayers, a result later validated by ETH Zurich’s low-T transport group.
