Abstract
The escalating development and improvement of gas sensing ability in industrial equipment, or "machine olfactory", propels the evolution of gas sensors toward enhanced sensitivity, selectivity, stability, power efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and longevity. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, distinguished by their atomic-thin profile, expansive specific surface area, remarkable mechanical strength, and surface tunability, hold significant potential for addressing the intricate challenges in gas sensing. However, a comprehensive review of 2D materials-based gas sensors for specific industrial applications is absent. This review delves into the recent advances in this field and highlights the potential applications in industrial machine olfaction. The main content encompasses industrial scenario characteristics, fundamental classification, enhancement methods, underlying mechanisms, and diverse gas sensing applications. Additionally, the challenges associated with transitioning 2D material gas sensors from laboratory development to industrialization and commercialization are addressed, and future-looking viewpoints on the evolution of next-generation intelligent gas sensory systems in the industrial sector are prospected.

Abstract
Concerted efforts have been made in recent years to find solutions to water and wastewater treatment challenges and eliminate the difficulties associated with treatment methods. Various techniques are used to ensure the recycling and reuse of water resources. Owing to their excellent chemical, physical, and biological properties, nanomaterials play an important role when integrated into water/wastewater treatment technologies. Black phosphorus (BP) is a potential nanomaterial candidate for water and wastewater treatment, especially its monolayer 2D derivative called phosphorene. Phosphorene offers relative adjustability in its direct bandgap, high charge carrier mobility, and improved in-plane anisotropy compared to the most extensively studied 2D nanomaterials. In this study, we examined the physical and chemical characteristics and synthetic processes of BP and phosphorene. We provide an overview of the latest advancements in the main applications of BP and phosphorene in water/wastewater treatment, which are categorized as photocatalytic, adsorption, and membrane filtration processes. Additionally, we explore the existing difficulties in the integration of BP and phosphorene into water/wastewater treatment technologies and prospects for future research in this field. In summary, this review highlights the ongoing necessity for significant research efforts on the integration of BP and phosphorene in water and wastewater applications.

Abstract
After the discovery of graphene in 2004, the field of atomically thin crystals has exploded with the discovery of thousands of 2-dimensional materials (2DMs) with unique electronic and optical properties, by making them very attractive for a broad range of applications, from electronics to energy storage and harvesting, and from sensing to biomedical applications. In order to integrate 2DMs into practical applications, it is crucial to develop mass scalable techniques providing crystals of high quality and in large yield. Electrochemical exfoliation is one of the most promising methods for producing 2DMs, as it enables quick and large-scale production of solution processable nanosheets with a thickness well below 10 layers and lateral size above 1 μm. Originally, this technique was developed for the production of graphene; however, in the last few years, this approach has been successfully extended to other 2DMs, such as transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorous, hexagonal boron nitride, MXenes and many other emerging 2D materials. This review first provides an introduction to the fundamentals of electrochemical exfoliation and then it discusses the production of each class of 2DMs, by introducing their properties and giving examples of applications. Finally, a summary and perspective are given to address some of the challenges in this research area.

Abstract
The chemical modification of 2D materials has proven a powerful tool to fine tune their properties. With this motivation, the development of new reactions has moved extremely fast. The need for speed, together with the intrinsic heterogeneity of the samples, has sometimes led to permissiveness in the purification and characterization protocols. In this review, we present the main tools available for the chemical characterization of functionalized 2D materials, and the information that can be derived from each of them. We then describe examples of chemical modification of 2D materials other than graphene, focusing on the chemical description of the products. We have intentionally selected examples where an above-average characterization effort has been carried out, yet we find some cases where further information would have been welcome. Our aim is to bring together the toolbox of techniques and practical examples on how to use them, to serve as guidelines for the full characterization of covalently modified 2D materials.

Abstract
To maintain human health, the development of rapid uric acid (UA) sensing is crucial. In this study, defective black phosphorus nanosheets with black phosphorus quantum dots (dBPN/BPQDs) were successfully and rapidly prepared by sonoelectrochemical exfoliation. In this process, the intercalation of phosphate ions into the black phosphorus working electrode was improved by coupling ultrasonic radiation with a high intercalating potential (8 V vs. Ag/AgCl/3M). The dBPN/BPQDs with various vacancies (5-9 defects, 5-7-7-5 defects, and 5-8-5 defect vacancies) exhibited a remarkable mass activity (jm, 1.22 × 10-3 mA μg-1) for uric acid oxidation, which was 5.92 times greater than that of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) (2.06 × 10-4 mA μg-1). In addition, the sensitivity of the dBPN/BPQD UA sensor was 474.2 μA mM-1 cm-2 in the linear analysis range of 0.1-1.3 mM. The sensitivity of the sensor was apparently higher than 67.7 μA mM-1cm-2 for rGO. The data from real sample experiments using serum showed that the dBPN/BPQD catalyst had high recoveries (97.3 %-100.2 %) and low related standard deviation (0.44 %-1.52 %). The dBPN/BPQDs exhibited the potential as an amperometric sensor to detect UA without needing enzymes.

[PMID: 38318612 PMCID: PMC10839751 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra07331a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Nitrogen (N2) fixation is a key reaction in biological and industrial chemistry, which does not occur spontaneously under ambient conditions but often depends on very specific catalysts and harsh reaction processes. Here we show that exposing exfoliated black phosphorus to the open air triggers, concomitantly, the oxidation of the two-dimensional (2D) material and the fixation of up to 100 parts per million (0.01%) of N2 on the surface. The fixation also occurs in pristine non-exfoliated material. Besides, other allotropic forms of phosphorus, like red P, also fixes N2 during ambient oxidation, suggesting that the N2 fixation process is intrinsic with phosphorus oxidation and does not depend on the chemical structure or the dimensionality of the solid. Despite the low amounts of N2 fixed, this serendipitous discovery could have fundamental implications on the chemistry and environmental stability of phosphorous and the design of related catalysts for N2 fixation.

Abstract
Over the past few years, antibiotic resistance has reached global dimensions as a major threat to public health. Consequently, there is a pressing need to find effective alternative therapies and therapeutic agents to combat drug-resistant pathogens. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), largely employed as a clinical treatment for several malignant pathologies, has also gained importance as a promising antimicrobial approach. Antimicrobial PDT (aPDT) relies on the application of a photosensitizer able to produce singlet oxygen (1O2) or other cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon exposure to appropriate light, which leads to cell death after the induced photodamage. Among different types of 2D nanomaterials with antimicrobial properties, phosphorene, the exfoliated form of black phosphorus (bP), has the unique property intrinsic photoactivity exploitable for photothermal therapy (PTT) as well as for PDT against pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
Antibiotics are the most commonly used means to treat bacterial infection at present, but the unreasonable use of antibiotics induces the generation of drug-resistant bacteria, which causes great problems for their clinical application. In recent years, researchers have found that nanomaterials with high specific surface area, special structure, photocatalytic activity and other properties show great potential in bacterial infection control. Among them, black phosphorus (BP), a two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, has been widely reported in the treatment of tumor and bone defect due to its excellent biocompatibility and degradability. However, the current theory about the antibacterial properties of BP is still insufficient, and the relevant mechanism of action needs to be further studied. In this paper, we introduced the structure and properties of BP, elaborated the mechanism of BP in bacterial infection, and systematically reviewed the application of BP composite materials in the field of antibacterial. At the same time, we also discussed the challenges faced by the current research and application of BP, which laid a solid theoretical foundation for the further study of BP in the future.

Abstract
Conductive hydrogels have shown great potential in wound healing and skin tissue engineering, owing to their electroactive, mechanical, and chemical properties. However, it still remains as a challenge to incorporate other functions into conductive hydrogels, such as antibacterial ability, controllable drug release, and biodegradability. In this study, a black phosphorus-based conductive hydrogel (HA-DA@BP) is prepared by an amidation reaction coupled with a coordination of Fe3+ -catechol. The hydrogel could be changed from the sol phase to the gel phase under electrical stimulus (ES). The results show that BP could be released under slight acidity, which is cell compatible but could achieve synergistic electrical antibacterial action and promote wound healing. This study proves that BP is a strong candidate for electroactive materials and provides a new insight for the development of BP-based biomedical materials in skin tissue engineering.

Abstract
The emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens is a major public health concern, posing a substantial global economic burden. Photothermal therapy (PTT) at mild temperature presents a promising alternative to traditional antibiotics due to its biological safety and ability to circumvent drug resistance. However, the efficacy of mild PTT is limited by bacterial thermotolerance. Herein, a nanocomposite, BP@Mn-NC, comprising black phosphorus nanosheets and a manganese-based nanozyme (Mn-NZ) is developed, which possesses both photothermal and catalytic properties. Mn-NZ imparts glucose oxidase- and peroxidase-like properties to BP@Mn-NC, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) that induce lipid peroxidation and malondialdehyde accumulation across the bacterial cell membrane. This process disrupts unprotected respiratory chain complexes exposed on the bacterial cell membrane, leading to a reduction in the intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content. Consequently, mild PTT mediated by BP@Mn-NC effectively eliminates MDR infections by specifically impairing bacterial thermotolerance because of the dependence of bacterial heat shock proteins (HSPs) on ATP molecules for their proper functioning. This study paves the way for the development of a novel photothermal strategy to eradicate MDR pathogens, which targets bacterial HSPs through ROS-mediated inhibition of bacterial respiratory chain activity.

Liang Y, Liu J, Dong P, Qin Y, Zhang R, Bradford SA. Retention and release of black phosphorus nanoparticles in porous media under various physicochemical conditions. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 339:139604. [PMID: 37482317 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2023] [Revised: 07/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
Black phosphorus nanosheets/nanoparticles (BPNs) are widely applied in many fields. However, the transport of BPNs in the subsurface still has not yet been reported and there is increasing concern about potential adverse impacts on ecosystems. Roles of median grain size and surface roughness, BPN concentration, and solution chemistries (pH, ionic strength, and cation types) on the retention and release of BPNs in column experiments were therefore investigated. The mobility of BPNs significantly increased with increasing grain size and decreasing surface roughness due to their influence on the mass transfer rate, number of deposition sites and retention capacity, and straining processes. Transport of BPNs was enhanced with an increase in pH and a decrease in ionic strength because of surface deprotonation and stronger repulsion that tends to reduce aggregation. The BPN transport was significantly sensitive to ionic strength, compared with other engineered nanoparticles. Additionally, charge heterogeneity and cation-bridging played a critical role in the retention of BPNs in the presence of divalent cations. Higher input concentrations increased the retention of BPNs, probably because collisions, aggregation at pore throat locations, and hydrodynamic bridging were more pronounced. Small fractions of BPNs can be released under decreasing IS and increasing pH due to the expansion of the electrical double layer and increased repulsion at convex roughness locations. A mathematical model that includes provisions for advective dispersive transport and time-dependent retention with blocking or ripening terms well described the retention and release of BPNs. These findings provide fundamental information that helps to understand the transport of BPNs in the subsurface environments.

The Effectiveness of Cyrene as a Solvent in Exfoliating 2D TMDs Nanosheets. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:10450. [PMID: 37445624 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241310450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The pursuit of environmentally friendly solvents has become an essential research topic in sustainable chemistry and nanomaterial science. With the need to substitute toxic solvents in nanofabrication processes becoming more pressing, the search for alternative solvents has taken on a crucial role in this field. Additionally, the use of toxic, non-economical organic solvents, such as N-methyl-2 pyrrolidone and dimethylformamide, is not suitable for all biomedical applications, even though these solvents are often considered as the best exfoliating agents for nanomaterial fabrication. In this context, the success of producing two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDs), such as MoS2 and WS2, with excellent captivating properties is due to the ease of synthesis based on environment-friendly, benign methods with fewer toxic chemicals involved. Herein, we report for the first time on the use of cyrene as an exfoliating agent to fabricate monolayer and few-layered 2D TMDs with a versatile, less time-consuming liquid-phase exfoliation technique. This bio-derived, aprotic, green and eco-friendly solvent produced a stable, surfactant-free, concentrated 2D TMD dispersion with very interesting features, as characterized by UV-visible and Raman spectroscopies. The surface charge and morphology of the fabricated nanoflakes were analyzed using ς-potential and scanning electron microscopy. The study demonstrates that cyrene is a promising green solvent for the exfoliation of 2D TMD nanosheets with potential advantages over traditional organic solvents. The ability to produce smaller-sized-especially in the case of WS2 as compared to MoS2-and mono/few-layered nanostructures with higher negative surface charge values makes cyrene a promising candidate for various biomedical and electronic applications. Overall, the study contributes to the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly methods for the production of 2D nanomaterials for various applications.

Abstract
The piezo-phototronic effect shows promise with regards to improving the performance of 2D semiconductor-based flexible optoelectronics, which will potentially open up new opportunities in the electronics field. Mechanical exfoliation and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) influence the piezo-phototronic effect on a transparent, ultrasensitive, and flexible van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure, which allows the use of intrinsic semiconductors, such as 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD). The latest and most promising 2D TMD-based photodetectors and piezo-phototronic devices are discussed in this review article. As a result, it is possible to make flexible piezo-phototronic photodetectors, self-powered sensors, and higher strain tolerance wearable and implantable electronics for health monitoring and generation of piezoelectricity using just a single semiconductor or vdW heterostructures of various nanomaterials. A comparison is also made between the functionality and distinctive properties of 2D flexible electronic devices with a range of applications made from 2D TMDs materials. The current state of the research about 2D TMDs can be applied in a variety of ways in order to aid in the development of new types of nanoscale optoelectronic devices. Last, it summarizes the problems that are currently being faced, along with potential solutions and future prospects.

Abstract
Integrin αvβ8 is a heterodimeric transmembrane protein on macrophages. Nanosheets can activate the integrin and elicit immune responses, exhibiting adverse immunotoxicity. Understanding the mechanism of integrin activation regulated by nanosheets is crucial for safe and effective use of nanosheets in biomedical applications. Herein, we performed all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to clarify the interactions between integrin αvβ8 in the cell membrane and three types of nanosheets, graphene (GRA), hexagonal boron nitride (BN), and black phosphorus (BP). We observed that BP could adsorb the intracellular end of αv monomer and thus break the inner membrane clasp, an important hydrophobic cluster for maintaining the inactive state of integrin. The association between αv and β8 subunit is weakened, promoting the integrin activation. By contrast, GRA and BN exert little influence on the association state of the integrin. Interestingly, the puckered structure of BP affects the integrin activation, where BP with the armchair direction perpendicular to the membrane plane cannot unpack the integrin. Moreover, the perturbation effect of nanosheets on the membrane was also evaluated. BP shows a milder effect on membrane structures and lipid properties than GRA and BN. This work unravels the molecular basis on the activation of integrin mediated by three nanosheets, and suggests the toxicity and therapeutic effect of well-established nanomaterials in the immune system.

Abstract
With the continuous exploration of low-dimensional nanomaterials, two dimensional metal oxides (2DMOs) has been received great interest. However, their further development is limited by the high cost in the preparation process and the unstable states caused by the polarization of surface chemical bonds. Recently, obtaining mental oxides via liquid metals have been considered a surprising method for obtaining 2DMOs. Therefore, how to scientifically choose different preparation methods to obtain 2DMOs applying in different application scenarios is an ongoing process worth discussing. This review will provide some new opportunities for the rational design of 2DMOs based on liquid metals. Firstly, the surface oxidation process and in situ electrical replacement reaction process of liquid metals are introduced in detail, which provides theoretical basis for realizing functional 2DMOs. Secondly, by simple sticking method, gas injection method and ultrasonic method, 2DMOs can be obtained from liquid metal, the characteristics of each method are introduced in detail. Then, this review provides some prospective new ideas for 2DMOs in other energy-related applications such as photodegradation, CO2 reduction and battery applications. Finally, the present challenges and future development prospects of 2DMOs applied in liquid metals are presented.

Abstract
For the first time, graphene-phosphorene structures were synthesized using the plasma-assisted electrochemical method. The catalytic activity of the composite obtained in the electrolytic plasma mode and its mixtures with few-layer graphene structures toward the hydrogen evolution reaction was studied. A substantial increase in the catalytic activity of the phosphorene structures towards the hydrogen evolution reaction was realized by mixing them with few-layer graphene structures. The catalyst demonstrates excellent activity towards the hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline media with a low overpotential of 940 mV at a current density of 10 mA·cm−2 and a small Tafel slope of 130 mV dec−1.

Abstract
The treatment of infected bone defects is an intractable problem in orthopedics. It comprises two critical parts, namely that of infection control and bone defect repair. According to these two core tasks during treatment, the ideal approach of simultaneously controlling infection and repairing bone defects is promising treatment strategy. Several engineered biomaterials and drug delivery systems with dual functions of anti-bacterial action and ostogenesis-promotion have been developed and demonstrated excellent therapeutic effects. Compared with the conventional treatment method, the dual-functional composite scaffold can provide one-stage treatment avoiding multiple surgeries, thereby remarkably simplifying the treatment process and reducing the treatment time, overcoming the disadvantages of conventional bone transplantation. In this review, the impaired bone repair ability and its specific mechanisms in the microenvironment of pathogen infection and excessive inflammation were analyzed, providing a theoretical basis for the treatment of infectious bone defects. Furthermore, we discussed the composite dual-functional scaffold composed of a combination of antibacterial and osteogenic material. Finally, a series of advanced drug delivery systems with antibacterial and bone-promoting capabilities were summarized and discussed. This review provides a comprehensive understanding for the microenvironment of infectious bone defects and leading-edge design strategies for the antibacterial and bone-promoting dual-function scaffold, thus providing clinically significant treatment methods for infectious bone defects. Antibacterial and bone-promoting dual-function scaffolds are ideal strategies for treatment of infectious bone defects. The effect of infection on bone repair was summarized in detail from four important aspects. A variety of dual-function scaffolds based on antibacterial and osteogenic materials were discussed. Dual-function drug delivery systems promoting repair of infectious bone defects by locally releasing functional agents. Leading-edge design strategies, challenges and prospects for dual-functional biomaterials were provided.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis showed remarkable improvements in overall response and patient survival, which changed the treatment landscape for multiple cancer types. However, the majority of patients receiving ICIs are either non-responders or eventually develop secondary resistance. Meanwhile, immunological homeostasis would be destroyed as T cell functions are activated excessively, leading to immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Clinically, a large number of irAEs caused by ICIs occurred and affected almost every organ system, resulting in the discontinuation or even the termination of the ongoing therapy. Therefore, researchers are exploring methods to overcome the situations of insufficient accumulation of these drugs in tumor sites and severe side effects. PD-1/PD-L1-targeted agents encapsulated in nanoparticles have emerged as novel drug delivery systems for improving the delivery efficacy, enhancing immune response and minimizing side effects in cancer treatment. Nanocarriers targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis showed enhanced functionalities and improved the technical weaknesses based on their reduced off-target effects, biocompatible properties, multifunctional potential and biomimetic modifications. Here, we summarize nanoparticles which are designed to directly target the PD-1/PD-L1 axis. We also discuss the combination of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 agents and other therapies using nanomedicine-based treatments and their anticancer effects, safety issues, and future prospects.

Abstract
Direct conversion of methane (CH4) to C1-2 liquid oxygenates is a captivating approach to lock carbons in transportable value-added chemicals, while reducing global warming. Existing approaches utilizing the transformation of CH4 to liquid fuel via tandemized steam methane reforming and the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis are energy and capital intensive. Chemocatalytic partial oxidation of methane remains challenging due to the negligible electron affinity, poor C-H bond polarizability, and high activation energy barrier. Transition-metal and stoichiometric catalysts utilizing harsh oxidants and reaction conditions perform poorly with randomized product distribution. Paradoxically, the catalysts which are active enough to break C-H also promote overoxidation, resulting in CO2 generation and reduced carbon balance. Developing catalysts which can break C-H bonds of methane to selectively make useful chemicals at mild conditions is vital to commercialization. Single atom catalysts (SACs) with specifically coordinated metal centers on active support have displayed intrigued reactivity and selectivity for methane oxidation. SACs can significantly reduce the activation energy due to induced electrostatic polarization of the C-H bond to facilitate the accelerated reaction rate at the low reaction temperature. The distinct metal-support interaction can stabilize the intermediate and prevent the overoxidation of the reaction products. The present review accounts for recent progress in the field of SACs for the selective oxidation of CH4 to C1-2 oxygenates. The chemical nature of catalytic sites, effects of metal-support interaction, and stabilization of intermediate species on catalysts to minimize overoxidation are thoroughly discussed with a forward-looking perspective to improve the catalytic performance.

Abstract
The wide use of nano-antibacterial materials has triggered concerns over the development of nanomaterials-associated bacterial resistance. Two-dimensional (2D) black phosphorus (BP) as a new class of emerging 2D nanomaterial has displayed excellent antibacterial performance. However, whether bacteria repeatedly exposed to 2D BP can develop resistance is not clear. We found that wild type E. coli K-12 MG 1655 strains can increase resistance to 2D-BP nanosheets after repeated exposure with subinhibitory concentration of 2D-BP nanosheets. Adaptive morphogenesis including the reinforced barrier function of cell membrane were observed in the resistant bacteria, which enhanced the resistance of bacteria to 2D-BP nanosheets. The whole-genome sequencing analysis showed that the three mutation genes including dmdA, mntP, and gyrA genes were observed in the 2D-BP resistant strains, which controlled catabolism, membrane structure, and DNA replication, respectively. Furthermore, transcriptional sequencing confirmed that these genes related to metabolization, membrane structure, and cell motility were upregulated in the 2D-BP resistant bacteria. The development of resistance to 2D-BP in bacteria mainly attributed to the changes in energy metabolism and membrane structure of bacteria caused by gene mutations. In addition, the up-regulated function of cell motility also helped the bacteria to develop resistance by escaping external stimuli. The results provided new evidence for understanding an important effect of nano-antibacterial materials on the development of bacterial resistance. The wide use of nano-antibacterial materials has triggered concerns over the development of nanomaterials-associated bacterial resistance.![]()

Abstract
High-valence metal-doped multimetal (oxy)hydroxides outperform noble metal electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) owing to the modified energetics between 3d metals and high-valence dopants. However, the rational design of sufficient and subtle modulators is still challenging. With a multimetal layered double hydroxide (LDH) as the OER catalyst, this study introduces a series of operando high-valence dopants (Cr, Ru, Ce, and V), which can restrict the 3+ valence states in the LDH template to prevent phase separation and operando transfer to the >3+ valence states for sufficient electronic interaction during the OER process. Through density functional theory simulations, ultrathin Cr-doped NiFe (NiFeCr) LDH is synthesized with strong electronic interaction between Cr dopants and NiFe bimetallic sites, evidenced by X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The resulting NiFeCr-LDH catalyzes the OER with ultralow overpotentials of 189 and 284 mV, obtaining current densities of 10 and 1000 mA cm-2 , respectively. Further, a NiFeCr-LDH anode is coupled in the anion exchange membrane electrolyzers to promote alkaline water splitting and CO2 -to-CO electrolysis, which achieves low full cell voltages at high current densities.

Abstract
We present a relativistic formulation of the energy loss of a charged particle traversing an anisotropic layer under arbitrary angle of incidence. We use a model for the conductivity tensor describing doped phosphorene, which supports plasmon polariton modes (PPMs) that exhibit a topological transition between elliptic and hyperbolic iso-frequency dispersion curves in the THz to the mid-infrared (MIR) frequency range. The total distribution of the momentum transfer and energy loss of the charged particle goes to excitation of the PPMs followed by their decay in phosphorene (Ohmic losses) and the energy that is emitted as transition radiation (TR). We show that the elliptic modes are efficiently excited in the THz range by relativistic particles, but the corresponding Ohmic distributions do not exhibit significant anisotropy. Contrastingly, hyperbolic modes are efficiently excited in the MIR range by slow particles moving under oblique incidence, producing Ohmic distributions that show strong directionality of propagation with large wavevectors associated with the asymptotes of the hyperbolic dispersion curves. The most dramatic effects of the anisotropic layer conductivity are seen in the angular spectra of the TR, with quite distinct and unexpected shapes of the radiation patterns emitted at the THz and MIR frequencies, even for a normal incidence of the charged particle. Those patterns are substantially skewed for oblique incidence, when they show a marked anisotropy relative to the principal axes of the layer. Such a rich variety of the TR spectra should be readily observable via angle-resolved measurements in a transmission electron microscope.

Abstract
The electronic and catalytic properties of Janus bismuth oxyhalide (Bi2O2XY, where X/Y = Cl, Br, or I, and X ≠ Y) for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are evaluated through first-principles calculations. Janus Bi2O2XY shows an enhanced separation efficiency of electron-hole pairs and an augmented utilization of solar energy due to Janus asymmetry. The asymmetric halogen surfaces on both sides of Janus Bi2O2XY induce an electrostatic potential difference, which leads to a staggered band alignment. The solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiencies of Janus Bi2O2BrI and Bi2O2ClI have greatly improved compared to those of pristine BiOBr and BiOCl. Additionally, Janus Bi2O2XY achieves stronger internal electric fields (IEFs) and a more suitable Gibbs free energy of hydrogen adsorption (ΔGH) than pristine BiOX. Moreover, the halogen layer with a smaller electronegativity in Janus Bi2O2XY forms a stronger IEF with the oxygen layer; consequently, the ΔGH of terminations value is closer to the ideal value for the HER. The localized edge states in the p-orbital density of states (DOS) projected onto O atoms are responsible for the HER activity of terminations. This work provides a comprehensive understanding of Janus Bi2O2XY for the HER and provides a strategy for improving photocatalysis.

[PMID: 34815042 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2021.339200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2021] [Revised: 10/13/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
In this paper, a quantitative cathodic photoelectrochemical aptasensor is described by using black phosphorous quantum dots (BPQDs) as photoactive material and assisted by heme as electron acceptor for sensing of amyloid β peptide (Aβ). Specifically, BPQDs were synthesized by solvothermal method and characterized by various techniques. The as-prepared BPQDs were assembled on the transparent indium tin oxide electrode, and the positively charged poly-l-lysine (PLL) was then absorbed onto BPQDs via electronic interaction. Subsequently, the aptamer as the specific recognition element for Aβ oligomer was introduced on the BPQDs-PLL modified electrode. After bound with heme to form Aβ-heme complex, Aβ oligomer was simultaneously captured by the aptamer on the electrode, resulting in an enhanced photocurrent response. Under the optimized conditions, the present PEC sensor reveals a good linear response to Aβ peptide ranging from 1.0 fM to 100 nM with a detection limit of 0.87 fM. The present signal-on cathodic PEC bioassay possesses the potential to create a new paradigm in amplified PEC assays that could provide outstanding performance for bioanalysis.

Abstract
Photocatalysis is a perennial solution that promises to resolve deep-rooted challenges related to environmental pollution and energy deficit through harvesting the inexhaustible and renewable solar energy. To date, a cornucopia of photocatalytic materials has been investigated with the research wave presently steered by the development of novel, affordable, and effective metal-free semiconductors with fascinating physicochemical and semiconducting characteristics. Coincidentally, the recently emerged red phosphorus (RP) semiconductor finds itself fitting perfectly into this category ascribed to its earth abundant, low-cost, and metal-free nature. More notably, the renowned red allotrope of the phosphorus family is spectacularly bestowed with strengthened optical absorption features, propitious electronic band configuration, and ease of functionalization and modification as well as high stability. Comprehensively detailing RP's roles and implications in photocatalysis, this review article will first include information on different RP allotropes and their chemical structures, followed by the meticulous scrutiny of their physicochemical and semiconducting properties such as electronic band structure, optical absorption features, and charge carrier dynamics. Besides that, state-of-the-art synthesis strategies for developing various RP allotropes and RP-based photocatalytic systems will also be outlined. In addition, modification or functionalization of RP with other semiconductors for promoting effective photocatalytic applications will be discussed to assess its versatility and feasibility as a high-performing photocatalytic system. Lastly, the challenges facing RP photocatalysts and future research directions will be included to propel the feasible development of RP-based systems with considerably augmented photocatalytic efficiency. This review article aspires to facilitate the rational development of multifunctional RP-based photocatalytic systems by widening the cognizance of rational engineering as well as to fine-tune the electronic, optical, and charge carrier properties of RP.

Abstract
Two-dimensional black phosphorus (BP) has triggered tremendous research interest owing to its unique crystal structure, high carrier mobility, and tunable direct bandgap. Preparation of few-layer BP with high quality and stability is very important for its related research and applications in biomedicine, electronics, and optoelectronics. In this review, the synthesis methods of BP, including the preparation of bulk BP crystal which is an important raw material for preparing few-layer BP, the popular top-down methods, and some direct growth strategies of few-layer BP are comprehensively overviewed. Then chemical ways to enhance the stability of few-layer BP are concretely introduced. Finally, we propose a selection rule of preparation methods of few-layer BP according to the requirement of specific BP properties for different applications. We hope this review would bring some insight for future researches on BP and contributes to the acceleration of BP's commercial progress.
