Artificial Solids by Design: Assembly and Electron Microscopy Study of Nanosheet-Derived Heterostructures

Two-dimensional materials do not only attract interest owing to their anisotropic properties and quantum confinement effects but also lend themselves as well-defined building blocks for the rational design of 3D materials with custom-made structures and, hence, properties. Here, we present the bottom-up fabrication of an artificial superlattice derived from positively charged layered double hydroxide (LDH) and negatively charged perovskite …
