Liquid exfoliation — new low-temperature method of nanotechnology

  • Published:
Materials Science-Poland

Abstract

Two-dimensional nano-crystals, nanosheets, are a new special type of nanomaterials recently discovered. They have attracted interest due to their unique potential applications especially in electronics. In this mini review, we present the current status of liquid exfoliation of layered crystals — an original new method of production of nanosheets. This “top down” synthesis is a low-temperature physico-chemical process already used to graphene production.
