Abstract
B. Rieger and co-workers describe on page 6711 the synthesis of silicon nanosheet based composite materials. The two-dimensional silicon monolayers exhibit outstanding (opto)electronic properties, but were found to be sensitive to UV light. In the synthesized composites they keep their unique characteristics and are protected from external influences. The authors would like to thank Johannes Richers for the design of the artwork and TUM GS for financial support.
