The method obtains lamellar materials of a few layers from macroscopic lamellar materials. The lamellar materials are functionalized. The method obtains lamellar materials in a single step and functionalizes lamellar materials in a single step and obtains lamellar materials functionalized in a single step. The method introduces few structural defects in the lamellar materials obtained and in the functionalized lamellar materials obtained. The device is energy efficient, easy and simple to use.
