Book excerpt: Two-dimensional (2D) inorganic materials present exciting opportunities for new scientific and technological breakthroughs. In this work, novel fabrication characterization and simulation techniques are presented for inorganic nanosheets and nanostructured thin films with the motivation of advancements in thermoelectrics, flexible electronics, optoelectronics and thermal engineering. Metal oxide nanosheet stacks of NaxCoO2 and KxCoO2.yH2O are fabricated using a novel bottom-up method based on sol-gel chemistry, E-field induced kinetic demixing and high temperature heat treatment. The nanosheet thicknesses can be 10- 100 nm while their lengths can measure up to 1.8 mm long. The stacked nanosheets are readily delaminated into very large (
