Abstract
Photovoltaic cells (PVs) are able to convert solar energy to electric energy, while energy storage devices are required to be equipped due to the fluctuations of sunlight. However, the electrical connection of PVs and energy storage devices leads to increased energy consumption, and thus energy storage ability and utilization efficiency are decreased. One of the solutions is to explore an integrated photoelectrochemical energy conversion-storage device. Up to date, the integrated photo-rechargeable Li-ion batteries often suffer from unstable photo-active materials and flammable electrolytes under illumination, with concerns in safety risks and limited lifetime. To address the critical issues, here a novel photo-rechargeable aluminum battery (PRAB) is designed with safe ionic liquid electrolytes and stable polyaniline photo-electrodes. The integrated PRAB presents stable operation with an enhanced reversible specific capacity ≈191% under illumination. Meanwhile, a simplified continuum model is established to provide rational guidance for designing electrode structures along with a charging/discharging strategy to meet the practical operation conditions. The as-designed PRAB presents an energy-saving efficiency ≈61.92% upon charging and an energy output increment ≈31.25% during discharging under illumination. The strategy of designing and fabricating stable and safe photo-rechargeable non-aqueous Al batteries highlights the pathway for substantially promoting the utilization efficiency of solar energy.

Abstract
Recently, microwave absorption (MA) materials have attracted intensive research attention for their ability to counteract the effects of ever-growing electromagnetic pollution. However, conventional microwave absorbers suffer from complex fabrication processes, poor stability and different optimal thicknesses for minimum reflection loss (RLmin) and widest effective absorption bandwidth (EAB). To address these issues, we have used electrospinning followed by high-temperature annealing in argon to develop a flexible microwave absorber with strong wideband absorption. The MA properties of the carbon nanofibers (CNFs) can be tuned by adjusting annealing temperature, and are dependent on the composition and microstructure of the CNFs. The absorber membrane obtained at 800 °C consists of Fe0.64Ni0.36@graphite core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in CNFs, formed via a corrosion-like transformation from NiFe2O4 to Fe0.64Ni0.36 followed by surface graphitization. This nanostructure greatly enhances magnetic-dielectric synergistic loss to achieve superior MA properties, with an RLmin of -57.7 dB and an EAB of 6.48 GHz (11.20-17.68 GHz) both acquired at a thickness of 2.1 mm. This work provides useful insights into structure-property relationship of the CNFs, sheds light on the formation mechanism of Fe0.64Ni0.36@graphite NPs, and offers a simple synthesis route to fabricate light-weight and flexible microwave absorbers.

Abstract
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a promising class of layered materials in the post-graphene era, with extensive research attention due to their diverse alternative elements and fascinating semiconductor behavior. Binary MX2 layers with different metal and/or chalcogen elements have similar structural parameters but varied optoelectronic properties, providing opportunities for atomically substitutional engineering via partial alteration of metal or/and chalcogenide atoms to produce ternary or quaternary TMDs. The resulting multinary TMD layers still maintain structural integrity and homogeneity while achieving tunable (opto)electronic properties across a full range of composition with arbitrary ratios of introduced metal or chalcogen to original counterparts (0-100%). Atomic substitution in TMD layers offers new adjustable degrees of freedom for tailoring crystal phase, band alignment/structure, carrier density, and surface reactive activity, enabling novel and promising applications. This review comprehensively elaborates on atomically substitutional engineering in TMD layers, including theoretical foundations, synthetic strategies, tailored properties, and superior applications. The emerging type of ternary TMDs, Janus TMDs, is presented specifically to highlight their typical compounds, fabrication methods, and potential applications. Finally, opportunities and challenges for further development of multinary TMDs are envisioned to expedite the evolution of this pivotal field.

Abstract
The laminated transition metal disulfides (TMDs), which are well known as typical two-dimensional (2D) semiconductive materials, possess a unique layered structure, leading to their wide-spread applications in various fields, such as catalysis, energy storage, sensing, etc. In recent years, a lot of research work on TMDs based functional materials in the fields of electromagnetic wave absorption (EMA) has been carried out. Therefore, it is of great significance to elaborate the influence of TMDs on EMA in time to speed up the application. In this review, recent advances in the development of electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbers based on TMDs, ranging from the VIB group to the VB group are summarized. Their compositions, microstructures, electronic properties, and synthesis methods are presented in detail. Particularly, the modulation of structure engineering from the aspects of heterostructures, defects, morphologies and phases are systematically summarized, focusing on optimizing impedance matching and increasing dielectric and magnetic losses in the EMA materials with tunable EMW absorption performance. Milestones as well as the challenges are also identified to guide the design of new TMDs based dielectric EMA materials with high performance.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) materials, such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), stand out due to their atomically thin layered structure and exceptional electrical properties. Consequently, they could potentially become one of the main materials for future integrated high-performance logic circuits. However, the local back-gate-based MoS2 transistors on a silicon substrate can lead to the degradation of electrical characteristics. This degradation is caused by the abnormal effect of gate sidewalls, leading to non-uniform field controllability. Therefore, the buried-gate-based MoS2 transistors where the gate electrodes are embedded into the silicon substrate are fabricated. The several device parameters such as field-effect mobility, on/off current ratio, and breakdown voltage of gate dielectric are dramatically enhanced by field-effect mobility (from 0.166 to 1.08 cm2/V·s), on/off current ratio (from 4.90 × 105 to 1.52 × 107), and breakdown voltage (from 15.73 to 27.48 V) compared with a local back-gate-based MoS2 transistor, respectively. Integrated logic circuits, including inverters, NAND, NOR, AND, and OR gates, were successfully fabricated by 2-inch wafer-scale through the integration of a buried-gate MoS2 transistor array.

Abstract
Epitaxial heterostructures of two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskites offer a new platform for studying intriguing structural, optical, and electronic properties. However, difficulties with the stability of Pb- and Sn-based heterostructures have repeatedly slowed the progress. Recently, Pb-free halide double perovskites are gaining a lot of attention due to their superior stability and greater chemical diversity, but they have not been successfully incorporated into epitaxial heterostructures for further investigation. Here, we report epitaxial core-shell heterostructures via growing Pb-free double perovskites (involving combinations of Ag(I)-Bi(III), Ag-Sb, Ag-In, Na-Bi, Na-Sb, and Na-In) around Pb perovskite 2D crystals. Distinct from Pb-Pb and Pb-Sn perovskite heterostructures, growths of the Pb-free shell at 45° on the (100) surface of the lead perovskite core are observed in all Pb-free cases. The in-depth structural analysis carried out with electron diffraction unequivocally demonstrates the growth of the Pb-free shell along the [110] direction of the Pb perovskite, which is likely due to the relatively lower surface energy of the (110) surface. Furthermore, an investigation of anionic interdiffusion across heterostructure interfaces under the influence of heat was carried out. Interestingly, halide anion diffusion in the Pb-free 2D perovskites is found to be significantly suppressed as compared to Pb-based 2D perovskites. The great structural tunability and excellent stability of Pb-free perovskite heterostructures may find uses in electronic and optoelectronic devices in the near future.

Abstract
Ultrathin 2D porous carbon-based materials offer numerous fascinating electrical, catalytic, and mechanical properties, which hold great promise in various applications. However, it remains a formidable challenge to fabricate these materials with tunable morphology and composition by a simple synthesis strategy. Here, a facile one-step self-flowering method without purification and harsh conditions is reported for large-scale fabrication of high-quality ultrathin (≈1.5 nm) N-doped porous carbon nanosheets (NPC) and their composites. It is demonstrated that the layered tannic/oxamide (TA/oxamide) hybrid is spontaneously blown, exfoliated, bloomed, in situ pore-formed, and aromatized during pyrolysis to form flower-like aggregated NPC. This universal one-step self-flowering system is compatible with various precursors to construct multiscale NPC-based composites (Ru@NPC, ZnO@NPC, MoS2 @NPC, Co@NPC, rGO@NPC, etc.). Notably, the programmable architecture enables NPC-based materials with excellent multifunctional performances, such as microwave absorption and hydrogen evolution. This work provides a facile, universal, scalable, and eco-friendly avenue to fabricate functional ultrathin porous carbon-based materials with programmability.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) nanocomposites have recently gained intensive attention for biosensing and disease therapy applications owing to their outstanding physiochemical properties. However, the direct growth of MOF nanocomposites is usually hindered by the mismatched lattice in the interface between the MOF and other nanocomponents. Surface ligands, molecules with surfactant-like properties, are demonstrated to exhibit the robust capability to modify the interfacial properties of nanomaterials and can be utilized as a powerful strategy for the synthesis of MOF nanocomposites. Besides this, surface ligands also exhibit significant functions in the morphological control and functionalization of MOF nanocomposites, thus greatly enhancing their performance in biomedical applications. In this review, the surface ligand-assisted synthesis and biomedical applications of MOF nanocomposites are comprehensively reviewed. Firstly, the synthesis of MOF nanocomposites is discussed according to the diverse roles of surface ligands. Then, MOF nanocomposites with different properties are listed with their applications in biosensing and disease therapy. Finally, current challenges and further directions of MOF nanocomposites are presented to motivate the development of MOF nanocomposites with elaborate structures, enriched functions, and excellent application prospects.

Abstract
Currently, transition metal dichalcogenides-based alkaline metal ion batteries have been extensively investigated for renewable energy applications to overcome the energy crisis and environmental pollution. The layered morphologys with a large surface area favors high electrochemical properties. Thermal stability, mechanical structural stability, and high conductivity are the primary features of layered transition metal dichalcogenides (L-TMDs). L-TMDs are used as battery materials and as supporters for other active materials. However, these materials still face aggregation, which reduces their applicability in batteries. In this review, a comprehensive study has been undertaken on recent advancements in L-TMDs-based materials, including 0D, 1D, 2D, 3D, and other carbon materials. Types of structural engineering, such as interlayer spacing, surface defects, phase control, heteroatom doping, and alloying, have been summarized. The synthetic strategy of structural engineering and its effects have been deeply discussed. Lithium- and sodium-ion battery applications have been summarized in this study. This is the first review article to summarize different morphology-based TMDs with their intrinsic properties for alkali metal ion batteries (AMIBs), so it is believed that this review article will improve overall knowledge of TMDs for AMIBS applications.

Abstract
Hybrid materials or hybrids incorporating organic and inorganic constituents are emerging as a very potent and promising class of materials due to the diverse but complementary nature of their properties. This complementarity leads to a perfect synergy of properties of the desired materials and products as well as to an extensive range of their application areas. Recently, we have overviewed and classified hybrid materials describing inorganics-in-organics in Part-I (Saveleva, et al., Front. Chem., 2019, 7, 179). Here, we extend that work in Part-II describing organics-on-inorganics, i.e., inorganic materials modified by organic moieties, their structure and functionalities. Inorganic constituents comprise of colloids/nanoparticles and flat surfaces/matrices comprise of metallic (noble metal, metal oxide, metal-organic framework, magnetic nanoparticles, alloy) and non-metallic (minerals, clays, carbons, and ceramics) materials; while organic additives can include molecules (polymers, fluorescence dyes, surfactants), biomolecules (proteins, carbohydtrates, antibodies and nucleic acids) and even higher-level organisms such as cells, bacteria, and microorganisms. Similarly to what was described in Part-I, we look at similar and dissimilar properties of organic-inorganic materials summarizing those bringing complementarity and composition. A broad range of applications of these hybrid materials is also presented whose development is spurred by engaging different scientific research communities.

Abstract
The term "nanosheets" has been coined recently to describe supported and free-standing "ultrathin film" materials, with thicknesses ranging from a single atomic layer to a few tens of nanometers. Owing to their physicochemical properties and their large surface area with abundant accessible active sites, nanosheets (NSHs) of inorganic materials such as Au, amorphous carbon, graphene, and boron nitride (BN) are considered ideal building blocks or scaffolds for a wide range of applications encompassing electronic and optical devices, membranes, drug delivery systems, and multimodal contrast agents, among others. A wide variety of synthetic methods are employed for the manufacturing of these NSHs, and they can be categorized into (1) top-down approaches involving exfoliation of layered materials, or (2) bottom-up approaches where crystal growth of nanocomposites takes place in a liquid or gas phase. Of note, polymer template liquid exfoliation (PTLE) methods are the most suitable as they lead to the fabrication of high-performance and stable hybrid NSHs and NSH composites with the appropriate quality, solubility, and properties. Moreover, PTLE methods allow for the production of stimulus-responsive NSHs, whose response is commonly driven by a favorable growth in the appropriate polymer chains onto one side of the NSHs, resulting in the ability of the NSHs to roll up to form nanoscrolls (NSCs), i.e., open tubular structures with tunable interlayer gaps between their walls. On the other hand, this review gives insight into the potential of the stimulus-responsive nanostructures for biosensing and controlled drug release systems, illustrating the last advances in the PTLE methods of synthesis of these nanostructures and their applications.

In particular, two-dimensional (2D) materials have become a major focus in material science and chemistry research worldwide with substantial efforts centered on their synthesis, property characterization, and technological, and environmental applications. Environmental applications of these nanomaterials include but are not limited to adsorbents for wastewater and drinking water treatment, membranes for desalination, and coating materials for filtration. However, it is also important to address the environmental interactions and implications of these nanomaterials in order to develop strategies that minimize their environmental and public health risks. Towards this end, this review covers the most recent literature on the environmental implementations of emerging 2D nanomaterials, thereby providing insights into the future of this fast-evolving field including strategies for ensuring sustainable development of 2D nanomaterials.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is one of major causes of deaths, and its incidence has gradually increased worldwide. For cardiovascular diseases, several therapeutic approaches, such as drugs, cell-based therapy, and heart transplantation, are currently employed; however, their therapeutic efficacy and/or practical availability are still limited. Recently, biomaterial-based tissue engineering approaches have been recognized as promising for regenerating cardiac function in patients with cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction (MI). In particular, materials mimicking the characteristics of native cardiac tissues can potentially prevent pathological progression and promote cardiac repair of the heart tissues post-MI. The mechanical (softness) and electrical (conductivity) properties of biomaterials as non-biochemical cues can improve the cardiac functions of infarcted hearts by mitigating myocardial cell death and subsequent fibrosis, which often leads to cardiac tissue stiffening and high electrical resistance. Consequently, electrically conductive hydrogels that can provide mechanical strength and augment the electrical activity of the infarcted heart tissue are considered new functional materials capable of mitigating the pathological progression to heart failure and stimulating cardiac regeneration. In this review, we highlight nanomaterial-incorporated hydrogels that can induce cardiac repair after MI. Nanomaterials, including carbon-based nanomaterials and recently discovered two-dimensional nanomaterials, offer great opportunities for developing functional conductive hydrogels owing to their excellent electrical conductivity, large surface area, and ease of modification. We describe recent results using nanomaterial-incorporated conductive hydrogels as cardiac patches and injectable hydrogels for cardiac repair. While further evaluations are required to confirm the therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of these materials, they could potentially be used for the regeneration of other electrically active tissues, such as nerves and muscles.

Abstract
Organic small molecules with electrochemically active and reversible redox groups are excellent candidates for energy storage systems due to their abundant natural origin and design flexibility. However, their practical application is generally limited by inherent electrical insulating properties and high solubility. To achieve both high energy density and power density, organic small molecules are usually immobilized on the surface of a carbon substrate with a high specific surface area and excellent electrical conductivity through non-covalent interactions or chemical bonds. The resulting composite materials are called organic small-molecule electrodes (OMEs). The redox reaction of OMEs occurs near the surface with fast kinetic and higher utilization compared to storing charge through diffusion-limited Faraday reactions. In the past decade, our research group has developed a large number of novel OMEs with different connections or molecular skeletons. This paper introduces the latest development of OMEs for efficient energy storage. Furthermore, we focus on the design motivation, structural advantages, charge storage mechanism, and various electrode parameters of OMEs. With small organic molecules as the active center, OMEs can significantly improve the energy density at low molecular weight through proton-coupled electron transfer, which is not limited by lattice size. Finally, we outline possible trends in the rational design of OMEs toward high-performance supercapacitors.

Effects of Mono-Vacancies and Co-Vacancies of Nitrogen and Boron on the Energetics and Electronic Properties of Heterobilayer h-BN/graphene. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:6369. [PMID: 36143681 PMCID: PMC9505817 DOI: 10.3390/ma15186369] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Revised: 08/30/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
A study is carried out which investigates the effects of the mono-vacancies of boron (VB) and nitrogen (VN) and the co-vacancies of nitrogen (N), and boron (B) on the energetics and the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of an h-BN/graphene heterobilayer using first-principles calculations within the framework of the density functional theory (DFT). The heterobilayer is modelled using the periodic slab scheme. In the present case, a 4 × 4-(h-BN) monolayer is coupled to a 4 × 4-graphene monolayer, with a mismatch of 1.40%. In this coupling, the surface of interest is the 4 × 4-(h-BN) monolayer; the 4 × 4-graphene only represents the substrate that supports the 4 × 4-(h-BN) monolayer. From the calculations of the energy of formation of the 4 × 4-(h-BN)/4 × 4-graphene heterobilayer, with and without defects, it is established that, in both cases, the heterobilayers are energetically stable, from which it is inferred that these heterobilayers can be grown in the experiment. The formation of a mono-vacancy of boron (1 VB), a mono-vacancy of nitrogen (1 VN), and co-vacancies of boron and nitrogen (VBN) induce, on the structural level: (a) for 1 VB, a contraction n of the B-N bond lengths of ~2.46% and a slight change in the interfacial distance D (~0.096%) with respect to the heterobilayer free of defects (FD) are observed; (b) for 1 VN, a slight contraction of the B-N of bond lengths of ~0.67% and an approach between the h-BN monolayer and the graphene of ~3.83% with respect to the FD heterobilayer are observed; (c) for VBN, it can be seen that the N-N and B-B bond lengths (in the 1 VB and 1 VN regions, respectively) undergo an increase of ~2.00% and a decrease of ~3.83%, respectively. The calculations of the Löwdin charge for the FD heterobilayer and for those with defects (1 VB, 1 VN, and VBN) show that the inclusion of this type of defect induces significant changes in the Löwdin charge redistribution of the neighboring atoms of VB and VN, causing chemically active regions that could favor the interaction of the heterobilayer with external atoms and/or molecules. On the basis of an analysis of the densities of states and the band structures, it is established that the heterobilayer with 1 VB and VBN take on a half-metallic and magnetic behavior. Due to all of these properties, the FD heterobilayer and those with 1 VB, 1 VN, and VBN are candidates for possible adsorbent materials and possible materials that could be used for different spintronic applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted more attention because of their excellent environmental catalytic capabilities. Modulation approach as an advanced assistant strategy is vital essential to enhancing the performance of MOFs. In this study, the modulated method was used to successfully synthesize a group of Fe-based MOFs, with formic acid as the modulator on the synthesis mixture. The most modulated sample Fe-MOFs-2 exhibit high specific surface areas and higher catalytic activity, which could effectively degrade SMX via PS activation, with almost 95% removal efficiency within 120 min. The results revealed that the % RSE of modulated Fe-MOFs-2 increased from 2.31 to 3.27 when compared with the origin Fe-MOFs. This may be due to the addition of formic acid induces the formation of more coordinatively unsaturated metal sites in the catalyst, resulting in structural defects. In addition, the quenching experiment and EPR analysis verified SO4-·and·OH as the major active free radicals in the degradation process. Modulated Fe-MOFs-2 demonstrated good reusability and stability under fifth cycles. Finally, four possible degradation pathways and catalytic mechanism of Fe-MOFs-2 was tentatively proposed. Our work provides insights into the rational design of modulated Fe-MOFs as promising heterogeneous catalysts for advanced wastewater treatment.

[PMID: 35454425 PMCID: PMC9032963 DOI: 10.3390/ma15082731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2022] [Revised: 03/27/2022] [Accepted: 04/01/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
The effects of the monovacancies of oxygen (VO) and manganese (VMn) on the structural and electronic properties of the 1T−MnO2/graphene heterostructure are investigated, within the framework of density functional theory (DFT). We found that the values of the formation energy for the heterostructure without and with vacancies of VO and VMn were −20.99 meVÅ2 , −32.11meVÅ2, and −20.81 meVÅ2, respectively. The negative values of the formation energy indicate that the three heterostructures are energetically stable and that they could be grown in the experiment (exothermic processes). Additionally, it was found that the presence of monovacancies of VO and VMn in the heterostructure induce: (a) a slight decrease in the interlayer separation distance in the 1T−MnO2/graphene heterostructure of ~0.13% and ~1.41%, respectively, and (b) a contraction of the (Mn−O) bond length of the neighboring atoms of the VO and VMn monovacancies of ~2.34% and ~6.83%, respectively. Calculations of the Bader charge for the heterostructure without and with VO and VMn monovacancies show that these monovacancies induce significant changes in the charge of the first-neighbor atoms of the VO and VMn vacancies, generating chemically active sites (locales) that could favor the adsorption of external atoms and molecules. From the analysis of the density of state and the structure of the bands, we found that the graphene conserves the Dirac cone in the heterostructure with or without vacancies, while the 1T−MnO2 monolayer in the heterostructures without and with VO monovacancies exhibits half-metallic and magnetic behavior. These properties mainly come from the hybridization of the 3d−Mn and 2p−O states. In both cases, the heterostructure possesses a magnetic moment of 3.00 μβ/Mn. From this behavior, it can be inferred the heterostructures with and without VO monovacancies could be used in spintronics.

Abstract
Herein, a rational design of SnS2 nanosheets confined into bubble-like carbon nanoreactors anchored on N,S doped carbon nanofibers (SnS2 @C/CNF) is proposed to prepare the self-standing electrodes, which provides tunable void space on carbon fibers for the first time by introducing hollow carbon nanoreactors. The SnS2 @C/CNF provides the stable support with greatly enhanced ion and electron transport, alleviates aggregation and volume expansion of SnS2 nanosheets, and promotes the formation of abundant exposed edges and active sites. The volume balance between SnS2 nanosheets and hollow carbon nanoreactors is reached to accommodate the expansion of SnS2 during cycles by controlling the thickness of SnO2 shells, which achieves the best space utilization. The doping of N,S elements enhances the wettability of the carbon nanofiber matrix to electrolyte and Li ions and further improves the electrical conductivity of the whole electrode. Thus, the SnS2 @C/CNF benefits greatly in structural stability and pseudocapacitive capacity for improved lithium/sodium storage performance. As a result of these improvements, the self-standing SnS2 @C/CNF film electrodes exhibit the highly stable capacity of 964.8 and 767.6 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 , and excellent capacity retention of 87.4% and 82.4% after 1000 cycles at high current density for lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries, respectively.

Recent Advances in MOF-Based Adsorbents for Dye Removal from the Aquatic Environment. ENERGIES 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/en15062023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
The adsorptive removal of dyes from industrial wastewater using commercially available adsorbents is not significantly efficient. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) offer outstanding properties which can boost the separation performance over current commercial adsorbents and hence, these materials represent a milestone in improving treatment methods for dye removal from water. Accordingly, in this paper, the recent studies in the modification of MOF structures in dye removal from the aquatic environment have been discussed. This study aims to elaborate on the synthetic strategies applied to improve the adsorption efficiency and to discuss the major adsorption mechanisms as well as the most influential parameters in the adsorptive removal of dyes using MOFs. More particularly, the advanced separation performance of MOF-based adsorbents will be comprehensively explained. The introduction of various functional groups and nanomaterials, such as amine functional groups, magnetic nanoparticles, and carbon-based materials such as graphene oxide and CNT, onto the MOFs can alter the removal efficiency of MOF-based adsorbents through enhancing the water stability, dispersion in water, interactions between the MOF structure and the contaminant, and the adsorption capacity. Finally, we summarize the challenges experienced by MOF-based materials for dye removal from water and propose future research outlooks to be considered.

Abstract
Hierarchical, ultrathin, and porous NiMoO4@CoMoO4 on Co3O4 hollow bones were successfully designed and synthesized by a hydrothermal route from the Co-precursor, followed by a KOH (potassium hydroxide) activation process. The hydrothermally synthesized Co3O4 nanowires act as the scaffold for anchoring the NiMoO4@CoMoO4 units but also show more compatibility with NiMoO4, leading to high conductivity in the heterojunction. The intriguing morphological features endow the hierarchical Co3O4@NiMoO4@CoMoO4 better electrochemical performance where the capacity of the Co3O4@NiMoO4@CoMoO4 heterojunction being 272 mA·h·g-1 at 1 A·g-1 can be achieved with a superior retention of 84.5% over 1000 cycles. The enhanced utilization of single/few NiMoO4@CoMoO4 shell layers on the Co3O4 core make it easy to accept extra electrons, enhancing the adsorption of OH- at the shell surface, which contribute to the high capacity. In our work, an asymmetric supercapacitor utilizing the optimized Co3O4@NiMoO4@CoMoO4 activated carbon (AC) as electrode materials was assembled, namely, Co3O4@NiMoO4@CoMoO4//AC device, yielding a maximum high energy density of 53.9 W·h·kg-1 at 1000 W·kg-1. It can retain 25.92 W·h·kg-1 even at 8100 W·kg-1, revealing its potential and viability for applications. The good power densities are ascribed to the porous feature from the robust architecture with recreated abundant mesopores on the composite, which assure improved conductivity and enhanced diffusion of OH- and also the electron transport. The work demonstrated here holds great promise for synthesizing other heterojunction materials M3O4@MMoO4@MMoO4 (M = Fe, Ni, Sn, etc).

Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG) has been used in various surgical navigation systems and plays an important role in intraoperative imaging diagnosis. However, the poor photostability and unsatisfactory tumor-targeting ability have limited its broad application prospects. In the decades, the construction of a nanodrug delivery system for tumor-targeting diagnosis and therapy has become a research hotspot. Black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNS), as a new kind of biodegradable nanomaterials, have the advantages of high loading capacity, good biocompatibility, tumor targeting, and photothermal effect over other two-dimensional (2D) reported nanomaterials. Herein, ICG-loaded poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-modified BPNS (ICG@BPNS-PEG) nanocomposites are constructed to improve the tumor-targeting capacity and guide photothermal therapy through real-time fluorescence imaging. In this study, ICG@BPNS-PEG nanocomposites with a suitable size (240 ± 28 nm) have been successfully constructed. The photostability of ICG@BPNS-PEG nanocomposites surpassed that of free ICG after four on-off cycles of near laser irradiation (NIR). Moreover, ICG@BPNS-PEG nanocomposites have enhanced photothermal conversion ability. The cellular uptake result through flow cytometry showed that ICG@BPNS-PEG nanocomposites could be swallowed easily owing to the suitable size and passive cellular uptake. In addition, the cytotoxicity evaluation of MCF-7, 4T1 breast cancer cells, and healthy RPE cells through the MTT assay demonstrated that ICG@BPNS-PEG nanocomposites have lower cytotoxicity and good cellular compatibility without irradiation. However, the cytotoxicity and live/dead staining proved that ICG@BPNS-PEG nanocomposites have satisfactory photothermal therapeutic effects when irradiated. In the 4T1-bearing mice model, the fluorescence imaging after intravenous injection of nanocomposites showed that ICG@BPNS-PEG nanocomposites have superior passive tumor targeting accumulation through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect compared with that of free ICG. Also, changes in tumor volume showed a remarkable tumor growth inhibition effect compared with other groups. Moreover, the results of hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining of major organs in 4T1-bearing mice also demonstrated that the nanocomposites have good biocompatibility. Therefore, the constructed ICG@BPNS-PEG nanocomposites have substantial potential in breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
Hybrids consisting of 2D ultra-large reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets (∼30 μm long) and 1D α-phase manganese oxide (MnO2) nanowires were fabricated through a versatile synthesis technique that results in electrostatic binding of the nanowires and sheets. Two different hybrid (RGO/MnO2) compositions had remarkable features and performance: 3 : 1 MnO2/RGO (75/25 wt%) denoted as 3H and 10 : 1 MnO2/RGO (90/10 wt%) denoted as 10H. Characterization using spectroscopy, microscopy, and thermal analysis provided insights into the microstructure and behavior of the individual components and hybrids. Both hybrids exhibited higher specific capacitance than their individual components. 3H demonstrated excellent overall electrochemical performance with specific capacitance of 225 F g-1, pseudocapacitive and electrochemical double-layer capacitance (EDLC) contributions, charge-transfer resistance <1 Ω, and 97.8% capacitive retention after 1000 cycles. These properties were better than those of 10H; this was attributed 3H's more uniform distribution of nanowires enabling more effective electronic transport. Thermal annealing was used to produce reduced graphene oxide (RGO) that exhibited significant removal of oxygen functionality with a resulting interlayer spacing of 0.391 nm, higher D/G ratio, higher specific capacitance, and electrochemical properties representing more ideal capacitive behavior than GO. Integrating ultra-large RGO with very high surface area and MnO2 nanowires enables chemical interactions that may improve processability into complex architectures and electrochemical performance of electrodes for applications in electronics, sensors, catalysis, and deionization.

Abstract
In recent years, more and more research enthusiasm has been devoted to the development of emerging two-dimensional (2D) monoelement materials (Xenes) and explored potential applications in various fields, especially biomedicine and bioimaging. The inspiring results attribute to their excellent physicochemical properties, including adjustable band gap, surface electronic layout characteristics, and so on, making it easier for surface modification in order to meet designated needs. As a popular interdisciplinary research frontier, a variety of methods for fabricating 2D Xenes have recently been adopted for pre-preparing future practical bioimaging applications, which implies that these materials will have broad clinical application prospects in the future. In this review, we will concentrate on the family of 2D Xenes and summarize their fabrication and modification methods firstly. Then, their applications in bioimaging as nanocarriers will be described according to the Periodic Table of Elements. In addition, current challenges and prospects for further clinical applications will be under discussion and use black phosphorus as a typical example. At last, general conclusion will be made that it is worth expecting that 2D Xenes will play a key role in the next generation of oncologic bioimaging in the future.

Abstract
Owing to their extraordinary physical and chemical properties, two-dimensional (2D) materials have aroused extensive attention and have been widely used in photonic and optoelectronic devices, catalytic reactions, and biomedicine. In particular, 2D materials possess a unique bandgap structure and nonlinear optical properties, which can be used as saturable absorbers in ultrafast lasers. Here, we mainly review the top-down and bottom-up methods for preparing 2D materials, such as graphene, topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, and MXenes. Then, we focus on the ultrafast applications of 2D materials at the typical operating wavelengths of 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 μm. The key parameters and output performance of ultrafast pulsed lasers based on 2D materials are discussed. Furthermore, an outlook regarding the fabrication methods and the development of 2D materials in ultrafast photonics is also presented.

Abstract
Global energy and environmental crises are among the most pressing challenges facing humankind. To overcome these challenges, recent years have seen an upsurge of interest in the development and production of renewable chemical fuels as alternatives to the nonrenewable and high-polluting fossil fuels. Photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, and electrocatalysis provide promising avenues for sustainable energy conversion. Single- and dual-component catalytic systems based on nanomaterials have been intensively studied for decades, but their intrinsic weaknesses hamper their practical applications. Multicomponent nanomaterial-based systems, consisting of three or more components with at least one component in the nanoscale, have recently emerged. The multiple components are integrated together to create synergistic effects and hence overcome the limitation for outperformance. Such higher-efficiency systems based on nanomaterials will potentially bring an additional benefit in balance-of-system costs if they exclude the use of noble metals, considering the expense and sustainability. It is therefore timely to review the research in this field, providing guidance in the development of noble-metal-free multicomponent nanointegration for sustainable energy conversion. In this work, we first recall the fundamentals of catalysis by nanomaterials, multicomponent nanointegration, and reactor configuration for water splitting, CO2 reduction, and N2 reduction. We then systematically review and discuss recent advances in multicomponent-based photocatalytic, photoelectrochemical, and electrochemical systems based on nanomaterials. On the basis of these systems, we further laterally evaluate different multicomponent integration strategies and highlight their impacts on catalytic activity, performance stability, and product selectivity. Finally, we provide conclusions and future prospects for multicomponent nanointegration. This work offers comprehensive insights into the development of cost-competitive multicomponent nanomaterial-based systems for sustainable energy-conversion technologies and assists researchers working toward addressing the global challenges in energy and the environment.

Abstract
Self-assembly of two-dimensional MXene sheets is used in various fields to create multiscale structures due to their electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties. In principle, MXene nanosheets are assembled by molecular interactions, including hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interactions, and van der Waals forces. This study describes how MXene colloid nanosheets can form self-supporting MXene hydrogels. Three-dimensional network structures of MXene gels are strengthened by reinforced electrostatic interactions between nanosheets. Stable gel networks are beneficial for fabricating highly aligned fibers because MXene gel can endure structural deformation. During wet spinning of highly concentrated MXene colloids in a coagulation bath, MXene sheets can be transformed into perfectly aligned fibers under a mechanical drawing force. Oriented MXene fibers exhibit a 1.5-fold increase in electrical conductivity (12 504 S cm-1) and Young's modulus (122 GPa) compared with other fibers. The oriented MXene fibers are expected to have widespread applications, including electrical wiring and signal transmission.

Abstract
We investigate the sensor behavior of the MoS2 field effect transistor (FET) device with the deposition of methyl orange (MO) molecule which is widely used as a chemical probe. The channel of the FET is made of the single layer of MoS2 which makes it highly sensitive to the molecule adsorption, but at the same time the behavior depends much on the surface conditions of the MoS2 channel. In order to make the channel-surface conditions more defined, we prepare an in situ experimental system in which the molecule deposition and the surface- and electrical-characterization of the MoS2 FET are executed in a single ultra-high vacuum chamber. This system makes it possible to examine the change of the FET properties with precise control of the molecule coverage in the sub-monolayer region without the effect of the atmosphere. We detected the shift of the I d-V g curve of the MoS2-FET device with the increase of the molecule coverage (θ) of the MO molecule, which is quantitatively analyzed by plotting the threshold voltage (V th) of the I d-V g curve as a function of θ. The V th shifts towards the negative direction and the initial change with θ can be expressed with an exponential function of θ, which can be accounted for with the Langmuir type adsorption of the molecule for the first layer and the charge transfer from the molecule to the substrate. The V th versus θ curve shows a kink at a certain θ, which is conserved as the starting of the second layer growth. We detected the adsorption of MO far less than monolayer and the phase change from the first layer to the second layer growth, which is realized by the benefit of the in situ UHV experimental condition.

Abstract
Three-dimensional Bi2O3 crystals with various morphologies were successfully synthesized on F-doped tin oxide substrates with and without homoseed layers via chemical bath deposition (CBD) routes. The structural analysis reveals that control of the pH value of the reaction solution resulted in as-grown Bi2O3 crystals with nanosheet and plate morphologies. A lower pH value of the reaction solution engendered formation of a porous sheet-like morphology of Bi2O3; by contrast, a higher pH value of the reaction solution is favorable for formation of solid Bi2O3 plates on the substrates. Furthermore, a sputter coated Bi2O3 seed layer with dual α- and β-Bi2O3 phases plays an important role in the CBD-derived Bi2O3 crystallographic structures. The Bi2O3 crystals formed via CBD processes without a sputter coated Bi2O3 homoseed layer demonstrated a high purity in β-Bi2O3 phase; those grown with a homoseed layer exhibited a dual α/β phase. The photoactive performance results show that construction of an α/β-Bi2O3 homojunction in the CBD-derived Bi2O3 crystals substantially improved their photoactive performance. Comparatively, the porous Bi2O3 nanosheets with a dual α/β-Bi2O3 phase demonstrated the highest photoactive performance among various Bi2O3 crystals in this study. The superior photoactivity of the porous α/β-Bi2O3 nanosheets herein is attributed to their high light absorption capacity and photoinduced charge separation efficiency. The experimental results in this study provide a promising approach to design CBD-derived Bi2O3 crystals with desirable photoelectric conversion functions via facile morphology control and seed layer crystal engineering.

Abstract
The enhancement of electron-phonon interaction provides a reasonable explanation for gate-tunable phonon properties in some semiconductors where multiple inequivalent valleys are simultaneously occupied upon charge doping, especially in few-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). In this work, we report var der Waals epitaxy of 2H-MoSe2 by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and gate-tunable phonon properties in monolayer and bilayer MoSe2. In monolayer MoSe2, we find that out-of-plane phonon mode A1g exhibits a strong softening and shifting toward lower wavenumbers at a high electron doping level, while in-plane phonon mode E2g1 remains unchanged. The softening and shifting of the out-of-plane phonon mode could be attributed to the increase of electron-phonon interaction and the simultaneous occupation of electrons in multiple inequivalent valleys. In bilayer MoSe2, no corresponding changes of phonon modes are detected at the same doping level, which could originate from the occupation of electrons only in single valleys upon high electron doping. This study demonstrates electrostatically enhanced electron-phonon interaction in monolayer MoSe2 and clarifies the relevance between occupation of multiple valleys and phonon properties by comparing Raman spectra of monolayer and bilayer MoSe2 at different doping levels.
