Article Synopsis
- - The study challenges the traditional view of phyllosilicate minerals, like mica and chlorite, by demonstrating that exfoliated nanosheets from these materials can display electronic activity, rather than being simply inactive and inert.
- - Through advanced techniques like electron diffraction and spectroscopy, researchers observed a unique spectral fingerprint that varies with the size and number of layers of the nanosheets, revealing significant changes in their electronic properties.
- - The findings indicate that as the surface area of these nanosheets increases, their bandgap decreases due to a quantum confinement effect, which suggests they can behave like semiconductors and exhibit enhanced catalytic activity for hydrogen production.
