Liquid exfoliation is a method for producing atomically thin, two-dimensional nanosheets from layered materials such as graphene, MoS₂, and MnO₂. This process involves separating layers of a solid material in a liquid environment, resulting in nanosheets with unique properties different from their bulk counterparts. These nanosheets have potential applications in various fields, including electronics, energy storage, and catalysis. The review discusses different liquid exfoliation techniques, including ion intercalation, ion exchange, and sonication, which allow for the scalable production of high-quality nanosheets. The process has been used to exfoliate a wide range of materials, including layered metal oxides, transition metal dichalcogenides, and layered silicates. Liquid exfoliation offers advantages such as scalability, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to produce nanosheets with controlled properties. The review also highlights the importance of liquid exfoliation in enabling new applications and the potential for future developments in this area. The ability to exfoliate materials into nanosheets has led to significant advancements in nanotechnology, with applications in electronics, photovoltaics, and energy storage. The review emphasizes the importance of continued research and development in liquid exfoliation techniques to further enhance the properties and applications of nanosheets.Liquid exfoliation is a method for producing atomically thin, two-dimensional nanosheets from layered materials such as graphene, MoS₂, and MnO₂.
