                      for solution processable 2D layered ultrathin nanostructures
                      with lateral size control is one of the major challenges for
                      practical applications. In this study, a rational
                      understanding a long-chain amphiphilic surfactant assisted
                      non-hydrolytic synthesis that is able to generate
                      dimension-controllable 2D-WS2 nanocrystal flakes in a
                      single-step protocol is proposed. The evolution of the
                      starting soft organic–inorganic lamellar template into
                      ultrathin few-layer 2D-WS2 nanostructures with lateral size
                      modulation over a range between 3 and 30 nm is monitored.
                      The initial formation of WS2 nanoseeds occurs in a
                      self-assembled sacrificial precursor source, acting as a
                      template, where larger two-dimensional nanostructures can
                      grow without undergoing significant thickness variation.
                      Overall, the chemical nature and steric hindrance of the
                      alkylamines are essential to modulate the reactivity of such
                      WS2 nanoclusters, which correlate with the lateral size of
                      the resulting nanoflakes},
