Silicon nanosheets (SiNSs) are two-dimensional semiconducting materials with a layer thickness in the nano regime and a sheet size up to the micro scale[1]. They exhibit outstanding electronic properties[2,3] which in combination with their structural characteristics make them a promising new material for applications such as lithium-ion-batteries[4,5] and nanoelectronics.[6,7] As synthesized from CaSi2, SiNSs are hydride terminated and prone to oxidation under ambient conditions. For further applications they therefore need to be stabilized with organic moieties.      «
