ChemInform Abstract: Two-Dimensional Nanosheets Produced by Liquid Exfoliation of Layered Materials.

Abstract Layered compounds such as MoS 2 , WS 2 , MoSe 2 , TaSe 2 , NbSe 2 , NiTe 2 , BN, and Bi 2 Te 3 are exfoliated by sonication of powders of the materials in a number of solvents with varying surface tensions and deposited as individual flakes or formed into films.
