Tartrate-Assisted Ionic Layer Epitaxy for General Synthesis of 2D Nanostructures.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of ultrathin 2D nanomaterials with regular shapes and uniform thickness remains a challenge despite their intriguing properties. In this paper, a facile and generic strategy for the growth of versatile ultrathin nanosheets using tartrate-assisted ionic layer epitaxy (ILE) at the air-water interface is presented. Metal ions, stabilized by tartrate coordination, nucleate within the electrical double layer beneath a self-assembled monolayer. This method facilitates the growth of micro-sized hexagonal to wafer-scale continuous nanosheets from 26 metal elements, including single and multi-element compositions, with high precursor utilization via solution recycling. Furthermore, recognizing the need for efficient quality assessment, the successful application of a multimodal Large
