Silicon, as a widely used material in the everyday life, attracts much interest throughout a diverse range of different research fields. The synthesis of new materials with smaller dimensions, which are faster, long living, and cheap to incorporate within electronics are just a few desired goals, which need to be reached in a near future. [1,2,3] In this context the new properties of nanostructured materials, which start to appear together with the quantum confinement effect while lowering its dimensions, are of huge importance. [4,5] Herein we present possible ways for the stabilization of highly sensitive two-dimensional silicon nanosheets (SiNSs) for the use in ambient conditions. The interesting optoelectronic properties of this nanomaterial open new possibilities for fast responsive and therefore highly sensitive electronics. Furthermore, the functionalization and synthesis of SiNSs based composites enable their application in ambient conditions and promise a facile fabrication of a long living device.     «
