Abstract

We describe monolayer nanosheets of calcium copper tetrasilicate, CaCuSi4O10, which have strong near-IR luminescence and are amenable to solution processing methods. The facile exfoliation of bulk CaCuSi4O10 into nanosheets is especially surprising in view of the long history of this material as the colored component of Egyptian blue, a well-known pigment from ancient times.
