Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have drawn much attention in recent years ascribing to their unique properties associated with atomic thickness. Besides graphene, which has aroused tremendous research interest, other 2D materials such as [Bi2O2]-based layered compounds, i.e., Bi2O2Se, BiOCl, and Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox, have also been studied widely and show promising application prospects in electronics, optoelectronics, photocatalysis fields, and so on. In this Perspective, we systematically review the progress on preparation methods of 2D [Bi2O2]-based layered materials, discuss the strengths and drawbacks of different methods, and give an outlook toward future research directions.
