“…Two-dimensional NS materials, atomically thin sheets, have attracted tremendous interest due to their fascinating properties [ 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 ]. Inspired by the huge success of graphene and black phosphorus, a series of 2D materials have been exploited and demonstrated to have great potential in many applications, such as energy [ 8 , 59 , 60 , 61 ], catalysis [ 48 , 62 , 63 , 64 ], sensors [ 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 ], nanophotonics [ 9 , 58 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 ], and biomedicines [ 73 , 74 , 75 ]. Although great progress in 0D and 1D PbO nanostructures has been achieved, much less is known about 2D PbO NSs, their synthetic strategies, and their fascinating performance so far.…”
