Cation-induced fast growth of ultrathin cuprous chloride nanoplatelets

摘要

A novel strategy involving a symproportionation reaction synergistically mediated by ferric ions and solvent molecules leads to the formation of ultrathin cuprous chloride crystalline nanoplatelets. The thickness of the cuprous chloride nanoplatelets can be about 3 nm, which represents the creation of one new kind of two-dimensional nanomaterial.
