Abstract

We report our discovery of a universal, ultrafast, green, solvo-thermal technology for producing excellent quality, large-sized, few-layered nanosheets from well-known two-dimensional materials (TDMs) such as hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), graphite, and MoS2. Our theory confirms the basis of this novel technique for exfoliation of high-quality, layered TDMs by unraveling a hitherto unknown role of the solvent.
