There are a rapidly growing number of studies showing exciting new opportunities in the way confinement effects on surfaces affect the properties of materials and their chemistry. These effects have been observed recently under two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials such as a graphene and boron nitride and for the case of supported 2D-porous oxides, including silicates, aluminosilicates, and zeolite nanosheets. I will briefly summarize what has been reported in the literature, with emphasis on 2D-silicates and aluminosilicates, and give a personal perspective about the future of this emerging area of study within surface science.
