“…Nanosheets of metals other than those discussed in the previous subsections are much less common because of the lack of stability in a typical chemical synthesis. Still, there have been various reports in recent years on the syntheses of 2D nanostructures of a range of metal elements, including Mg, Al, , Ti, − Cr, Fe, − Co, − Ni, − Cu, ,− Zn, − Ga, Ru, − Sn, and Bi. − Conventional liquid-phase synthesis, the solvothermal method, the template-mediated method, and electrochemical reduction have been developed along with some other unique approaches, such as topotactic transformation and exfoliation. A molten-salt-assisted synthesis was conducted for the preparation of Bi or Sb nanosheets .…”
