However, to form a two-dimensional material from a non-layered material, a method different from the existing ones is required. In this study, a surfactant-assisted method was utilized to synthesize Zn(OH)<sub>2</sub> (a nonlayered transition metal oxide) nanosheets. This study described the synthesis of Zn(OH)<sub>2</sub> nanosheets using an anionic sulfate layer and demonstrated a method of controlling the thickness and shape of the synthesized nanosheets by varying the surfactant concentration. Further, the characteristics of oxygen evolution reaction using ZnO/Zn(OH)<sub>2</sub> nanosheets, obtained by annealing the synthesized sheets, as catalysts were studied.ACS omega35834-35839https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9558603biostudies-literatureMorphologically Controlled Synthesis of Reduced-Dimensional ZnO/Zn(OH)<sub>2</sub> Nanosheets.PMC9558603Jang ARYang JJeong GHYoon JCLee ZJang HSRyu GHfalseMorphologically Controlled Synthesis of Reduced-Dimensional ZnO/Zn(OH)<sub>2</sub> Nanosheets.Conventional two-dimensional materials either have natural layered structures or are produced, with large surface areas, via physical or chemical synthesis.
