DESCRIPTION:Prof. Bettina V. Lotsch\, Max Planck Institute for Solid State
  Research and Department of Chemistry\, University of Munich\nA central pa
 radigm of nanochemistry is the rational synthesis\, manipulation and assem
 bly of nanoscale building blocks into hierarchical structures with tailor-
 made properties. Owing to their chemical diversity and wide scope of physi
 cal properties\, 2D nanostructures lend themselves particularly well as ve
 rsatile building blocks in miniaturized devices and for the directed self-
 assembly of hybrid superlattices with engineered functionalities. This tal
 k will review our recent progress in the fabrication of new 2D bulk and na
 nosheet materials as well as layered heterostructures across different len
 gthscales\,[1] and their emerging applications in photonic sensing and sol
 ar energy conversion.[2\,3]\n[1] Artificial solids by design: Assembly and
