Abstract
Sustainable Optics Ores are everywhere on our earth and other planets, and many of them possess layered structures. In article 2110464, Baofu Ding, Bilu Liu, and co-workers develop a seawater-assisted green method to produce 2D minerals in large quantities from bulky ores. These 2D minerals are used as inorganic liquid crystals for color optics. This work creates novel opportunities of using abundant naturally minerals for advanced technological applications.
