“…In the case of metal oxides, protonation usually resulted in electrostatic repulsions that facilitated exfoliation. By this procedure, single layers of Ti oxides, [19][20][21][22] Mn oxides, 23 Nb/Ta oxides, [24][25][26] Mo oxides, 27 Ru oxides, 28 and W oxides, 29 as well as sheets of several perovskites 7,9,[30][31][32][33][34][35] have been separated from bulk samples (Fig. 2).…”
