Magnetic two-dimensional (2D) supplies are a singular class of quantum supplies that may exhibit fascinating magnetic phenomena, resembling layer-dependent magnetism. Probably the most important barrier to 2D magnet discovery and examine lies in our potential to exfoliate supplies right down to the monolayer restrict. Subsequently designing exfoliation strategies that produce clear, monolayer sheets is essential for the expansion of 2D materials analysis. On this work, we develop a facile chemical exfoliation methodology utilizing lithium naphthalenide for acquiring 2D nanosheets of magnetic van der Waals materials CrOCl. Utilizing our optimized methodology, we receive freestanding monolayers of CrOCl, with the thinnest measured top up to now. We additionally present magnetic characterization of bulk, intercalated intermediate, and nanosheet pellet CrOCl, displaying that exfoliated nanosheets of CrOCl exhibit magnetic order. The outcomes of this examine spotlight the tunability of the chemical exfoliation methodology, together with offering a easy methodology for acquiring 2D CrOCl.
