Abstract Two-dimensional materials represented by graphene, MoS2, MXene, etc. show excellent physical, chemical, electronic, and optical properties, and exhibit enormous application value in many fields. The 36th and 37th Chinese Chemistry Olympiad (preliminary) focused on the structure and preparation of LDH and MXene. This article delves into and expands upon the materials of LDH and MXene, and introduces the “top-down” strategy for preparing two-dimensional materials, aiding teachers and students in deepening their understanding of the relationship between material structure, properties, and applications.
