2D metal nanomaterials offer exciting prospects in terms of their properties and functions. However, the ambient aqueous synthesis of atomically-thin, 2D metallic nanomaterials represents a significant challenge. Herein, freestanding and atomically-thin gold nanosheets with a thickness of only 0.47 nm (two atomic layers thick) are synthesized via a one-step aqueous approach at 20 °C, using methyl orange as a confining agent. Owing to the high surface-area-to-volume ratio, abundance of unsaturate ...[more]
