Atomically thin TiO2 nanosheets synthesized using liquid metal chemistry

Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 May 5;56(36):4914-4917. doi: 10.1039/d0cc01456g.

Abstract

The library of true two-dimensional materials is limited since many transition metal compounds are not stratified and can thus not be easily isolated as nanosheets. Here, micron-sized ultrathin rutile TiO2 nanosheets featuring uniform thickness (2 ± 0.5 nm) with dielectric constant (ε⊥ = 24) have been synthesized via a liquid metal synthesis strategy.
