Electron Storage in Monolayer Tungstate Nanosheets Produced via a Scalable Exfoliation Method.

ABSTRACT: Inorganic nanosheet materials with atomic thinness have been widely studied as (photo)catalytic materials due to their unique electronic states and surface structures. One scalable and reproducible method of producing monolayer nanosheets is a top-down approach based on the exfoliation of layered parent compounds using an alkylammonium solution as a surfactant. However, H₂W₂O₇ layered tungstates dissolve in basic aqueous solutions, making them unsuitable for the exfoliation process. This work proposes a scalable method to obtain monolayer WO₃ nanosheets with a very high external field responsiveness. This work shows that H₂W₂O₇ topochemically swells in a concentrated octylamine (C₈N₁₇NH₂
