Abstract

Intercalation and exfoliation of lithium: Few‐layer‐thick inorganic nanosheets (BN, NbSe2, WSe2, Sb2Se3, and Bi2Te3) have been prepared from their layered bulk precursors by using a controllable electrochemical lithium intercalation process (see picture). The lithium intercalation conditions, such as cut‐off voltage and discharge current, have been systematically studied and optimized to produce high‐quality BN and NbSe2 nanosheets.
