Over the last fifteen years, two-dimensional (2D) materials have been studied and exploited for many applications. In many cases, 2D materials are formed by the exfoliation of layered crystals such as transition-metal disulphides. However, it has recently become clear that it is possible to exfoliate non-layered materials so long as they have a non-isotropic bonding arrangement. Here, we report the synthesis of 2D-platelets from the earth-abundant, non-layered metal sulfide, iron pyrite (FeS2…
