"At the water's edge: Self-assembling 2D materials at a liquid-liquid interface: Scientists find a simple way to produce heterolayer coordination nanosheets, expanding the diversity of 2D materials"

Molecular 2D materials find immense applications in materials science, owing to their wide structural variety and easy controllability. Establishing a simple and efficient method for their synthesis is, therefore, important. Now, scientists present a simple method for synthesizing heterolayer coordination nanosheets, a promising 2D material, shedding light on how certain chemical coordination reactions occur at liquid-liquid interfaces. Their method could help develop novel 2D materials with applications in optoelectronic devices.
