Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have been widely investigated for the last few years, introducing nanosheets and ultrathin films. The often superior electrical, optical and mechanical properties in contrast to their three-dimensional (3D) bulk counterparts offer a promising field of opportunities. Especially new research fields for already existing and novel applications are opened by downsizing and improving the materials at the same time. Some of the most promising application fields are namely supercapacitors, electrochromic devices, (bio-) chemical sensors, photovoltaic devices, thermoelectrics, (photo-) catalysts and membranes. The role of oxides in this field of materials deserves a closer look due to their availability, durability and further advantages. Here, recent progress in oxidic nanosheets is highlighted and the benefit of 2D oxides for applications discussed in-depth. Therefore, different synthesis techniques and microstructures are compared more closely.
