Polymerisation process for making phosphorus nanosheets could become model strategy for other 2D materials

Industrialised synthesis of 2D materials is a step closer to reality, new research shows. In a recent study, scientists in China have used a metal-organic framework (MOF) based system to easily produce poly-phosphorus nanosheets.
