Only the half of it : A modified intercalation–deintercalation strategy that takes advantage of the characteristic thermally induced phase transition of monoclinic VO 2 has been developed for the preparation of ultrathin VO 2 nanosheets. The resultant nanosheets exhibit half‐metallic character and a temperature‐dependent phase transition. The half‐metallicity could lead to applications in spintronic nanodevices.
