2D materials have opened a new field in science with outstanding scientific and technological impact. A largely explored route for the preparation of is exfoliation layered crystals weak forces between their layers. However, its application to covalent remains elusive. Herein, further step taken by introducing germanium, narrow-bandgap semiconductor presenting 3D diamond-like structure strong b...

In this work, the synthesis of porous structure of cadmium oxide with multilayered sheet-like morphology in nano-meter size using adipic acid as soft template by solvothermal/thermal decomposition process is reported. Chemical analyses exhibited that the formation of porous sheet-like structure is originated from bidentate coordination mode of adipate units to Cd-center. It was found that the c...
