The two-dimensional (2D) nanostructure of layered chalcogenide materials (LCMs) is very interesting, but to make it a useful material platform necessiates the development of sophisticated synthetic control. We present the synthesis of single-crystalline SnSe2 nanoplates by a noncatalytic vapor depos...
