Abstract The current direction in the evolution of 2D semiconductor nanocrystals involves the combination of metal and semiconductor components to form new nanoengineered materials called nano‐heteroplatelets. This Review covers different heterostructure architectures that can be applied to cadmium chalcogenide nanoplatelets, including variously shaped shell, metal nanoparticle decoration, and doped and alloy systems. Here, for the first time a complete classification of nano‐heteroplatelet types is provided with recommended notations and a systematization of the existing knowledge and experience concerning heterostructure formation techniques, addressing the morphology, optoelectronic and magnetic properties, and novel features of different heterostructures. This Review is also devoted to possible applications of these heterostructures and of one‐component nanoplatelets in multiple fields, including light‐emitting devices and biological imaging.
