Nanoscale phase separation was induced in the K‐doped RuCl3 van der Waals material by annealing, and studied with the goal to find a natural design strategy for the formation of two‐dimensional architectures as an alternative to the costly and time‐consuming experimental artificial growth methods. Phase conversion was traced by means of thermogravimetric analysis combined with mass spectrometry. The local crystal structure of co‐existing K3Ru2Cl9 domains with the sizes of about 100 nm was solved by 3D electron diffraction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
