Compounds with layered structures (2D-materials), like transition metal-dichalcogenides (e.g., MoS₂), attracted a great deal of interest in the scientific community in recent years. This interest can be attributed to their unique lamellar structure, which induces large anisotropy in their physicochemical properties. Furthermore, owing to the weak van der Waals interaction between the layers, they can be cleaved along the a–b plane, which allows fabricating single layers with physical properties entirely different from the bulk material. Moreover, stacking layers of different 2D-materials on top of each other has led to a wealth of new observations, for instance, by twisting two layers with respect to each other and producing Moiré lattice. Another outstanding property of inorganic layer compounds is their tendency to form nanotubes, reported first (for WS₂) many years ago and subsequently from many other layered compounds.

Misfit 层状化合物：深入了解纳米相的化学、动力学和热力学稳定性


近年来，具有层状结构（2D 材料）的化合物，如过渡金属-二硫化物（例如 MoS₂），引起了科学界的极大兴趣。这种兴趣可归因于它们独特的层状结构，这导致其物理化学性质具有较大的各向异性。此外，由于各层之间的范德华相互作用较弱，它们可以沿 a-b 平面切割，从而可以制造具有与块状材料完全不同的物理特性的单层。此外，将不同 2D 材料的层相互堆叠带来了大量新的观察结果，例如，通过相互扭曲两层并产生莫尔晶格。无机层化合物的另一个突出特性是它们倾向于形成纳米管，多年前首先报道（WS₂），随后从许多其他层状化合物中报道。
