Abstract
The proper detection of drug molecules is key for applications that have an impact in several fields, ranging from medical treatments to industrial applications. In case of illegal drugs, their correct and fast detection has important implications that affect different parts of society such as security or public health. Here we present a method based on nanoscale sensors made of carbon nanotubes modified with dopants that can detect three types of drug molecules: mephedrone, methamphetamine and heroin. We show that each molecule produces a distinctive feature in the density of states that can be used to detect it and distinguish it from other types of molecules. In particular, we show that for semiconducting nanotubes the inclusion of molecules reduces the gap around the Fermi energy and produces peaks in the density of states below the Fermi energy at positions that are different for each molecule. These results prove that it is possible to design nanoscale sensors based on carbon nanotubes tailored with dopants, in such a way that they might be able to discriminate between different types of compounds and, especially, drug molecules whose proper recognition has important consequences in different fields.

Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes with Red Phosphorus in Lithium-Ion Batteries: Effect of Surface and Encapsulated Phosphorus. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 13:153.

Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with their high surface area, electrical conductivity, mechanical strength and elasticity are an ideal component for the development of composite electrode materials for batteries. Red phosphorus has a very high theoretical capacity with respect to lithium, but has poor conductivity and expends considerably as a result of the reaction with lithium ions. In this work, we compare the electrochemical performance of commercial SWCNTs with red phosphorus deposited on the outer surface of nanotubes and/or encapsulated in internal channels of nanotubes in lithium-ion batteries. External phosphorus, condensed from vapors, is easily oxidized upon contact with the environment and only the un-oxidized phosphorus cores participate in electrochemical reactions. The support of the SWCNT network ensures a stable long-term cycling for these phosphorus particles. The tubular space inside the SWCNTs stimulate the formation of chain phosphorus structures. The chains reversibly interact with lithium ions and provide a specific capacity of 1545 mAh·g-1 (calculated on the mass of phosphorus in the sample) at a current density of 0.1 A·g-1. As compared to the sample containing external phosphorus, SWCNTs with encapsulated phosphorus demonstrate higher reaction rates and a slight loss of initial capacity (~7%) on the 1000th cycle at 5 A·g-1.

Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are a perfect host for the formation of one-dimensional phosphorus structures and to obtain hybrid materials with a large P-C ratio. This work presents a procedure for high-yield phosphorus filling of commercial Tuball SWCNTs and efficient removal of phosphorus deposits from the external nanotube surface. We probed white and red phosphorus as precursors, varied the synthesis temperature and the ampoule shape, and tested three solvents for sample purification. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy indicated crystallization of interior phosphorus in a form resembling fibrous red phosphorus. An aqueous sodium hydroxide solution allowed removing the majority of external phosphorus particles. Thermogravimetric analysis of the product determined ∼23 wt % (∼10 atom %) of phosphorus, and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data showed that ca. 80% of it is in the form of elemental phosphorus. Externally purified SWCNTs filled with phosphorus were used to study the interaction between the components. Raman spectroscopy and core-level XPS revealed p-type SWCNT doping. Valence-band XPS data and density functional theory calculations confirmed the transfer of the SWCNT electron density to the encapsulated phosphorus.

Abstract
Atomically thin nanowires (NWs) can be synthesized inside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and feature unique crystal structures. Here we show that HgTe nanowires formed inside small-diameter (<1 nm) SWCNTs can advantageously alter the optical and electronic properties of the SWCNTs. Metallic purification of the filled SWCNTs was achieved by a gel column chromatography method, leading to an efficient extraction of the semiconducting and metallic portions with known chiralities. Electron microscopic imaging revealed that zigzag HgTe chains were the dominant NW geometry in both the semiconducting and metallic species. Equilibrium-state and ultrafast spectroscopy demonstrated that the coupled electron-phonon system was modified by the encapsulated HgTe NWs, in a way that varied with the chirality. For semiconducting SWCNTs with HgTe NWs, Auger relaxation processes were suppressed, leading to enhanced photoluminescence emission. In contrast, HgTe NWs enhanced the Auger relaxation rate of metallic SWCNTs and created faster phonon relaxation, providing experimental evidence that encapsulated atomic chains can suppress hot carrier effects and therefore boost electronic transport.

Abstract
Phosphorene-the monolayered material of the element allotrope black phosphorus (Pblack )-and SnIP are 2D and 1D semiconductors with intriguing physical properties. Pblack and SnIP have in common that they can be synthesized via short way transport or mineralization using tin, tin(IV) iodide and amorphous red phosphorus. This top-down approach is the most important access route to phosphorene. The two preparation routes are closely connected and differ mainly in reaction temperature and molar ratios of starting materials. Many speculative intermediates or activator side phases have been postulated especially for top-down Pblack /phosphorene synthesis, such as Hittorf's phosphorus or Sn24 P19.3 I8 clathrate. The importance of phosphorus-based 2D and 1D materials for energy conversion, storage, and catalysis inspired us to elucidate the formation mechanisms of these two compounds. Herein, we report on the reaction mechanisms of Pblack /phosphorene and SnIP from P4 and SnI2 via direct gas phase formation.

Abstract
The discovery of materials is increasingly guided by quantum-mechanical crystal-structure prediction, but the structural complexity in bulk and nanoscale materials remains a bottleneck. Here we demonstrate how data-driven approaches can vastly accelerate the search for complex structures, combining a machine-learning (ML) model for the potential-energy surface with efficient, fragment-based searching. We use the characteristic building units observed in Hittorf's and fibrous phosphorus to seed stochastic ("random") structure searches over hundreds of thousands of runs. Our study identifies a family of hierarchically structured allotropes based on a P8 cage as principal building unit, including one-dimensional (1D) single and double helix structures, nanowires, and two-dimensional (2D) phosphorene allotropes with square-lattice and kagome topologies. These findings yield new insight into the intriguingly diverse structural chemistry of phosphorus, and they provide an example for how ML methods may, in the long run, be expected to accelerate the discovery of hierarchical nanostructures.

Abstract
Theoretical investigations are carried out on the recently synthesized one-dimensional nanowires made of atomic sulfur chains encapsulated in carbon nanotubes (called S@CNTs). Special attention is paid to stability, electronic property and transport properties of these combined nanowires. It is found that the encapsulation is exothermic when S@CNTs are built from the tubes with diameter larger than 6.4 Å. Thus the experimental results are energetically favorable since the diameters of the CNTs are about 6 Å in the obtained S@CNTs. The combined nanowires can be stabilized by van der Waals interaction between sulfur chain and tube as indicated from radial distribution function and reduced density gradient descriptions. All S@CNTs studied in this work exhibit metallic property with the partially filled bands. However, the conducting component and the pathway of charge carriers are various. For instance, only the sulfur chain is the conducting pathway for S@CNT(8, 0), while both the sulfur chain and tube are the conducting pathways for S@CNT(9, 0). This interesting feature was understood based on the band structures and crystal orbital analysis. The electronic transport properties of the systems are performed by investigating and analyzing the transmission spectra, current-voltage (I-V) curves and transmission eigenstate, which confirm that the sulfur chains can improve the electronic transport of CNTs. Moreover, the electrostatic interaction resulted from the charge transfer between the two components of S@CNTs should be favorable to the stability of the combined nanowires.

Abstract
A 2D nano-reactor was constructed within a pillar–layer-MOF, in which a moderately stable 2D phosphorus material was synthesized.
Synthesis of two dimensional (2D) materials mainly relies on interface-templates, exfoliation of layered crystals and surfactant-assistance. Here we have realized another strategy of polymerization in a 2D nano-reactor. As an application of this strategy, a 2D nano-reactor was constructed within a new pillar–layer metal organic framework (MOF) and in this nano-reactor a moderately stable 2D phosphorus material was synthesized from white phosphorus (P4). Our research may provide a new approach for the synthesis of various 2D materials.
