Description
Summary:The birth of nanoscience more than 50 years ago fueled the renaissance in layered materials research leading to many materials discoveries with unprecedented scientific and technological impacts. Following the early reports on carbon fullerenes and nanotubes, the discovery of inorganic one-dimensional (1D) nanotubes and zero-dimensional (0D) fullerenes created a major playground for new physicochemical observations. The meteoric rise of two-dimensional (2D) materials in concert set off outstanding advances in the synthesis and manipulation of layered materials with atomic precision. This review identifies new directions in materials science that emerge through integrating the two layered systems—2D with inorganic 1D and 0D. Summarizing the key developments in the two distinct nanomaterials families, we highlight preliminary instances of integrating them into functional nanostructures. A few gedankenexperiments regarding prospective applications of the integrated system are then introduced to stimulate further experimental and theoretical investigations that can potentially result in unforeseen scientific observations.
