Rational bottom-up design of novel two-dimensional (2D) organic-inorganic materials include the synthesis, but not limited to, metal-organic frameworks, layered intercalation compound, etc. The exciting combination of responsive organic and inorganic substances gives birth to unique electronic, optic, chemical and mechanical properties. This class of 2D materials will have remarkable impact on a range of advanced technologies from energy to environment. Some of the materials may eventually lead to transformative advancements.
