| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Edge surfaces of two-dimensional crystals are expected to have unique properties, but the nature of edge surfaces has not been explored. In this study, some synthetic methods, such as the anisotropic crystal growth of layered metal hydroxides along with the stacking direction and the size-controlled bottom-up preparation of metal hydroxide nanosheets through two-dimensional crystal growth, were developed to control the proportion of the exposed edge surfaces to the whole crystal surfaces. We also successfully detected hydroxy groups probably located on edge surfaces by analyzing rod-like crystals with an unusually high aspect ratio of the thickness to the lateral size higher than 1.
