A new collaborative paper has been published in ACS Nano. This work opens the road to synthesis of 2D and ultra-thin nitrides of transition metals. Synthesis of nitrides from MAX phases has been difficult. In the attached paper, we propose an alternative route to producing nanometer-thin nitride sheets in large quantities:
