Bismuth (Bi) has been known as a highly efficient electrocatalyst for CO 2 reduction reaction. Stable free-standing two-dimensional Bi monolayer (Bismuthene) structures have been predicted theoretically, but never realized experimentally. Here, we show the first simple large-scale synthesis of free-...
