N2 - The doping or the alteration of crystals with guest species to obtain desired properties has long been a research frontier in materials science. However, the closely packed lattice structure in many crystals has limited the applicability of this strategy. The advent of 2D layered materials has led to revitalized interest in utilizing this approach through two important strategies, gating and intercalation, offering reversible modulation of the properties of the host material without breaking chemical bonds. In addition, these dynamically tunable techniques have enabled the synthesis of new hybrid materials. Here, we review how interactions between guest species and host 2D materials can tune the physics and chemistry of materials and discuss their remarkable potential for creating artificial materials and architectures beyond the reach of conventional methods.
