The recently discovered phenomena arising from 2D nanomaterials have led to an increased interest in the fabrication of other ultrathin materials from those typically only observed in the bulk. Here, the authors demonstrate the synthesis of micron-sized, single-crystalline ZnO nanosheets via solution based methods.
