Nanosheets of MoO 3 that consist of only a few layers have been prepared by using four methods, including the oxidation of MoS 2 nanosheets, intercalation with LiBr, and ultrasonication. These nanosheets have been characterized by atomic force microscopy and other techniques. Besides showing a blue‐shift of the optical absorption band compared to the bulk sample, few‐layer MoO 3 exhibits enhanced photocatalytic activity. In combination with a borocarbonitride, few‐layer MoO 3 shows good performance characteristics as a supercapacitor electrode.
