Ultrathin 2D metal sulphide nanostructures have revealed extraordinary properties, applications and thus, the subject matter of current research. However, synthesis of shape-controlled large-sized (approximately few µms) plates/sheets are not well known, specifically due to the colloidal synthesis p...
