We have designed a new ternary structure to enhance the sensing properties of WS2 nanosheet (NS)-based gas sensors at room temperature (RT) in self-heating mode. SnO2 nanowires (NWs, 10–30 wt%) were added NSs and then Au nanoparticles (NPs) deposited on surface resulting composites by UV irradiation. The Au-decorated 10 wt% SnO2–WS2 composition showed highest properties. presence NWs effectivel...

Abstract In the field of artificial photosynthesis with semiconductor light harvesters, default cocatalyst morphologies are isotropic, 0D nanoparticles. Herein, use highly anisotropic 2D ruthenium oxide nanosheet (RONS) cocatalysts as an approach to enhance photocatalytic oxygen evolution (OER) rates on commercial WO 3 nanoparticles (0D harvester) is presented. At optimal loadings and identical...

Nanomaterials are vital to the realization of photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platform that provides sensitive detection and quantification low-abundance biological samples. Here, this work reports a Schottky junction-based BiOI/Ti3C2 heterostructure, used as photocathode for PEC bioanalysis. Specially, we realize in situ growth flower-like BiOI on 2D intrinsically negatively charged Ti3C2 M...

FeTe1-xSex, a promising layered material used to realize Majorana zero modes, has attracted enormous attention in recent years. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) are the routine growth methods prepare FeTe1-xSex thin films. However, both require high-vacuum conditions polished crystalline substrates, which hinder exploration of topological superconductivity related ...

Abstract The manipulation of polymeric micelles across extended-length scales is a key challenge in the design integrated mesoporous materials with well-defined geometry and advanced functions. Herein, we demonstrate modular assembly strategy to construct metal nanoparticle functionalized carbon two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets by organizing zero-dimensional (0D) spherical monomicelle modules on...

While two-dimensional (2D) materials may preserve some intrinsic properties of the corresponding layered bulk material, new characteristics arise from their pronounced anisotropy or confinement effects. Recently, exceptionally high ionic conductivities were discovered in 2D such as graphene oxide and vermiculite. Here, we report on water-assisted fast conduction lithium ions restacked tin sulfi...

Pharmaceuticals, especially amine-based pharmaceuticals, such as nizatidine and ranitidine, contaminate water resist treatment. Here, different amounts of graphene sheets are coupled with g-C3N4 nanosheets (wt% ratio 0.5, 1, 3 5 wt% graphene) to verify the effect surface plasmon resonance introduced material. The synthesized materials were systematically examined by advanced analytical techniqu...

Abstract Studies show that two dimensional (2D) nanomaterial and its hybrid have a great promise in tribology for the special laminar microstructure. However, majority of performed investigations about 2D graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) nanosheets are most focused on energy storage, catalysis, adsorption, rarely tribology. In present study, g-C supporting mono-dispersed Ag nanoparticle /A...

A reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-ZnIn(2)S(4) nanosheet composite was successfully synthesized via an in situ controlled growth process. The as-obtained RGO-ZnIn(2)S(4) composite showed excellent visible light H(2) production activity in the absence of noble metal cocatalysts.

Ternary hybrid film composed of -zirconium phosphate nanosheet, 1,2-bis(dimethylchlorosilyl)ethane and polypyrrole was prepared by anodic electrodeposition. In the hybrid film, ordered -zirconium nanosheets with grafts by silylation lay down parallel to the substrate and the polypyrrole molecules were intercalated between the nanosheets. The electrochemical measurements confirmed that the hyb...
