Two-dimensional metal-organic framework nanosheets: synthesis and applications.
TL;DR: This review summarizes the recent advances in the synthesis of 2D MOF nanosheets by using top-down methods, e.g. sonication exfoliation, mechanical ex foliation, Li-intercalation exfoliated and chemical exfolation, and bottom-up methods, i.e. interfacial synthesis, three-layer synthesis, surfactant-assisted synthesis, modulated synthesis, and sonication synthesis.
