“…It has been widely reported that vdW 2D materials often undergo significant property changes compared to their bulk counterparts due to the quantum confinement effect, disrupted structural symmetry, and increased specific surface area (SSA). ,,,− For example, the optical bandgap energy of MoS 2 increases from 1.2 eV (bulk) to 1.8 eV (monolayer) and transit from an indirect to a direct bandgap. , The dimension-controlled properties are also expected in non-vdW materials. However, due to the lack of available samples, only a handful of studies have reported this phenomenon.…”
