Two-dimensional colloidal nanomaterials have gained more and more attention as attractive optoelectronic materials in the recent years. They combine good lateral conductivity with solution-processability and geometry-tunable electronic properties. The formation of ordered and densely packed surface layers of amphiphilic ligand molecules on certain crystal facets can drive the normally isotropic into a two-dimensional crystal growth, resulting in semiconducting nanosheets. Due to the strongly reduced height, such metastable materials are in electronic confinement, which allows tuning their effective bandgap. Other features are reduced charge screening, efficient doping, and solution processablility. First, I will discuss the syntheses of the materials, followed by analyses of their optical properties and the electrical transport characterization through these materials as field-effect and spin transistors. In particlar, I will introduce nanosheets based on lead sulfide, tin sulfide and lead halide perovskites. The materials show surprising effects and demonstrate the versatility and usefulness of this synthesis approach.
