Shamil Shaikhutdinov received his PhD in physics in 1986 from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology for the study of microwave dielectric properties of inorganic materials. Then he joined the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis at Novosibirsk to carry out surface science studies of catalytic systems, in particular with scanning tunneling microscopy. Since 2004, he is leading the Structure and Reactivity group at the Fritz-Haber Institute at Berlin. His research interests focus on the fundamental understanding of atomic structures and surface chemistry of functional materials based on ultrathin films.

This excellent and complete overview covers all aspects, from preparation to characterization and potential use, of the emerging field of two-dimensional silica and silicates. From their discovery 20 years ago as model systems for catalysis, the study of these nanostructured materials has opened up new intriguing scenarios for their potential applications as nanoscale molecular sieves, protecting layers, or to perform reactions in confined space.
