Abstract
Xenes, mono-elemental atomic sheets, exhibit Dirac/Dirac-like quantum behavior. When interfaced with other 2D materials such as boron nitride, transition metal dichalcogenides, and metal carbides/nitrides/carbonitrides, it enables them with unique physicochemical properties, including structural stability, desirable bandgap, efficient charge carrier injection, flexibility/breaking stress, thermal conductivity, chemical reactivity, catalytic efficiency, molecular adsorption, and wettability. For example, BN acts as an anti-oxidative shield, MoS2 injects electrons upon laser excitation, and MXene provides mechanical flexibility. Beyond precise compositional modulations, stacking sequences, and inter-layer coupling controlled by parameters, achieving scalability and reproducibility in hybridization is crucial for implementing these quantum materials in consumer applications. However, realizing the full potential of these hybrid materials faces challenges such as air gaps, uneven interfaces, and the formation of defects and functional groups. Advanced synthesis techniques, a deep understanding of quantum behaviors, precise control over interfacial interactions, and awareness of cross-correlations among these factors are essential. Xene-based hybrids show immense promise for groundbreaking applications in quantum computing, flexible electronics, energy storage, and catalysis. In this timely perspective, recent discoveries of novel Xenes and their hybrids are highlighted, emphasizing correlations among synthetic parameters, structure, properties, and applications. It is anticipated that these insights will revolutionize diverse industries and technologies.

Abstract
One of the most fascinating 2D nanomaterials (NMs) ever found is various members of MXene family. Among them, the titanium-based MXenes, with more than 70% of publication-related investigations, are comparatively well studied, producing fundamental foundation for the 2D MXene family members with flexible properties, familiar with a variety of advanced novel technological applications. Nonetheless, there are still more candidates among transitional metals (TMs) that can function as MXene NMs in ways that go well beyond those that are now recognized. Systematized details of the preparations, characteristics, limitations, significant discoveries, and uses of the novel M-based MXenes (M-MXenes), where M stands for non-Ti TMs (M = Sc, V, Cr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, W, and Lu), are given. The exceptional qualities of the 2D non-Ti MXene outperform standard Ti-MXene in several applications. There is many advancement in top-down as well as bottom-up production of MXenes family members, which allows for exact control of the M-characteristics MXene NMs to contain cutting-edge applications. This study offers a systematic evaluation of existing research, covering everything in producing complex M-MXenes from primary limitations to the characterization and selection of their applications in accordance with their novel features. The development of double metal combinations, extension of additional metal candidates beyond group-(III-VI)B family, and subsequent development of the 2D TM carbide/TMs nitride/TM carbonitrides to 2D metal boride family are also included in this overview. The possibilities and further recommendations for the way of non-Ti MXene NMs are in the synthesis of NMs will discuss in detail in this critical evaluation.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently emerged as a unique developmental influence that is playing an important role in the development of medicine. The AI medium is showing the potential in unprecedented advancements in truth and efficiency. The intersection of AI has the potential to revolutionize drug discovery. However, AI also has limitations and experts should be aware of these data access and ethical issues. The use of AI techniques for drug discovery applications has increased considerably over the past few years, including combinatorial QSAR and QSPR, virtual screening, and denovo drug design. The purpose of this survey is to give a general overview of drug discovery based on artificial intelligence, and associated applications. We also highlighted the gaps present in the traditional method for drug designing. In addition, potential strategies and approaches to overcome current challenges are discussed to address the constraints of AI within this field. We hope that this survey plays a comprehensive role in understanding the potential of AI in drug discovery.

Recent progress in metal oxide-based electrode materials for safe and sustainable variants of supercapacitors. Front Chem 2024; 12:1402563. [PMID: 38831913 PMCID: PMC11144895 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2024.1402563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
A significant amount of energy can be produced using renewable energy sources; however, storing massive amounts of energy poses a substantial obstacle to energy production. Economic crisis has led to rapid developments in electrochemical (EC) energy storage devices (EESDs), especially rechargeable batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors (SCs), which are effective for energy storage systems. Researchers have lately suggested that among the various EESDs, the SC is an effective alternate for energy storage due to the presence of the following characteristics: SCs offer high-power density (PD), improvable energy density (ED), fast charging/discharging, and good cyclic stability. This review highlighted and analyzed the concepts of supercapacitors and types of supercapacitors on the basis of electrode materials, highlighted the several feasible synthesis processes for preparation of metal oxide (MO) nanoparticles, and discussed the morphological effects of MOs on the electrochemical performance of the devices. In this review, we primarily focus on pseudo-capacitors for SCs, which mainly contain MOs and their composite materials, and also highlight their future possibilities as a useful application of MO-based materials in supercapacitors. The novelty of MO's electrode materials is primarily due to the presence of synergistic effects in the hybrid materials, rich redox activity, excellent conductivity, and chemical stability, making them excellent for SC applications.

Abstract
Replacing liquid electrolytes and separators in conventional lithium-ion batteries with solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) is an important strategy to ensure both high energy density and high safety. Searching for fast ionic conductors with high electrochemical and chemical stability has been the core of SSE research and applications over the past decades. Based on the atomic-level thickness and infinitely expandable planar structure, numerous two-dimensional materials (2DMs) have been exploited and applied to address the most critical issues of low ionic conductivity of SSEs and lithium dendrite growth in all-solid-state lithium batteries. This review introduces the research process of 2DMs in SSEs, then summarizes the mechanisms and strategies of inert and active 2DMs toward Li+ transport to improve the ionic conductivity and enhance the electrode/SSE interfacial compatibility. More importantly, the main challenges and future directions for the application of 2DMs in SSEs are considered, including the importance of exploring the relationship between the anisotropic structure of 2DMs and Li+ diffusion behavior, the exploitation of more 2DMs, and the significance of in situ characterizations in elucidating the mechanisms of Li+ transport and interfacial reactions. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding to facilitate the application of 2DMs in SSEs.

Abstract
The ability of electronic devices to act as switches makes digital information processing possible. Succeeding graphene, emerging inorganic 2D materials (i2DMs) have been identified as alternative 2D materials to harbor a variety of active molecular components to move the current silicon-based semiconductor technology forward to a post-Moore era focused on molecule-based information processing components. In this regard, i2DMs benefits are not only for their prominent physiochemical properties (e.g., the existence of bandgap), but also for their high surface-to-volume ratio rich in reactive sites. Nonetheless, since this field is still in an early stage, having knowledge of both i) the different strategies for molecularly functionalizing the current library of i2DMs, and ii) the different types of active molecular components is a sine qua non condition for a rational design of stimuli-responsive i2DMs capable of performing logical operations at the molecular level. Consequently, this Review provides a comprehensive tutorial for covalently anchoring ad hoc molecular components-as active units triggered by different external inputs-onto pivotal i2DMs to assess their role in the expanding field of molecule-programmable nanoelectronics for electrically monitoring bistable molecular switches. Limitations, challenges, and future perspectives of this emerging field which crosses materials chemistry with computation are critically discussed.

Abstract
In this study, germanene-nanosheets (NSs) were synthesized by liquid-phase exfoliation, followed by an experimental investigation into the nonlinear saturable absorption characteristics and morphological structure of germanene. The germanene-NSs were employed as saturable absorbers, exhibiting saturation intensity and modulation depth values of 22.64M W/c m 2 and 4.48%, respectively. This demonstrated the feasibility of utilizing germanene-NSs passively mode-locked in an erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL). By optimizing the cavity length, improvements in the output of EDFL characteristics were achieved, resulting in 883 fs pulses with a maximum average output power of 19.74 mW. The aforementioned experimental outcomes underscore the significant potential of germanene in the realms of ultrafast photonics and nonlinear optics.

Abstract
The potential application of borophene as a sensing material for gas-sensing devices is investigated in this work. We utilize density functional theory (DFT) to systematically study the adsorption mechanism and sensing performance of χ3-borophene to search for high-sensitivity sensors for minor pollutant gases. We compare the results to those for two Pmmn borophenes. The first-principles calculations are used to analyze the sensing performance of the three different borophenes (2 Pmmn borophene, 8 Pmmn borophene, and χ3-borophene) on five leading harmful gases (CO, NH3, SO2, H2S, and NO2). The adsorption configuration, adsorption energy, and electronic properties of χ3-borophene are investigated. Our results indicate that the mechanism of adsorption on χ3-borophene is chemisorption for NO2 and physisorption for SO2 and H2S. The mode of adsorption of CO and NH3 on χ3-borophene can be both physisorption and chemisorption, depending on the initially selected sites. Analyses of the charge transfer and density of states show that χ3-borophene is selective toward the adsorption of harmful gases and that N and O atoms form covalent bonds when chemisorbed on the surface of χ3-borophene. An interesting phenomenon is that when 8 Pmmn borophene adsorbs SO2, the gas molecules are dismembered and strongly adsorb on the surface of 8 Pmmn borophene, which provides a way of generating O2 while adsorbing harmful substances. Overall, the results of this work demonstrate the potential applications of borophene as a sensing material for harmful gas sensing or removal.

Abstract
Since atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) graphene was successfully synthesized in 2004, it has garnered considerable interest due to its advanced properties. However, the weak optical absorption and zero bandgap strictly limit its further development in optoelectronic applications. In this regard, other 2D materials, including black phosphorus (BP), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), 2D Te nanoflakes, and so forth, possess advantage properties, such as tunable bandgap, high carrier mobility, ultra-broadband optical absorption, and response, enable 2D materials to hold great potential for next-generation optoelectronic devices, in particular, mid-infrared (MIR) band, which has attracted much attention due to its intensive applications, such as target acquisition, remote sensing, optical communication, and night vision. Motivated by this, this article will focus on the recent progress of semiconducting 2D materials in MIR optoelectronic devices that present a suitable category of 2D materials for light emission devices, modulators, and photodetectors in the MIR band. The challenges encountered and prospects are summarized at the end. We believe that milestone investigations of 2D materials beyond graphene-based MIR optoelectronic devices will emerge soon, and their positive contribution to the nano device commercialization is highly expected.

Abstract
During the past decade, there is an explosive growth of theoretical and computational studies on 2D boron-based nanomaterials. In terms of extensive predictions from theoretical simulations, borophene, boron nanosheets and 2D boron derivatives show excellent structural, electronic, photonic and nonlinear optical characteristics, and potential applications in a wide range of fields. In recent years, previous studies have reported the successful experimental preparations, superior properties, multi-functionalized modifications of various 2D boron and its derivatives, which show many practical applications in significant fields. To further promote the ever-increasing experimental studies, this present review systematically summarizes recent progress on experimental preparation methods, functionalized modification strategies and practical applications of 2D boron-based nanomaterials and multifunctional derivatives. Firstly, this review summarizes the experimental preparation methods, including molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, liquid-phase exfoliation, chemical reaction, and other auxiliary methods. Then, various strategies for functionalized modification are introduced overall, focusing on borophene derivatives, boron-based nanosheets, atom-introduced, chemically-functionalized borophene and boron nanosheets, borophene or boron nanosheet-based heterostructures, and other functionalized 2D boron nanomaterials. Subsequently, various potential applications are discussed in detail, involving energy storage, catalysis conversion, photonics, optoelectronics, sensors, bio-imaging, biomedicine therapy, and adsorption. We comment the state-of-the-art related studies concisely, and also discuss the current status, probable challenges and perspectives rationally. This review is timely, comprehensive, in-depth and highly attractive for scientists from multiple disciplines and scientific fields, and can facilitate further development of advanced functional low-dimensional nanomaterials and multi-functionalized systems toward high-performance practical applications in significant fields.

Abstract
Borophene, a crystalline allotrope of monolayer boron, with a combination of triangular lattice and hexagonal holes, has stimulated wide interest in 2-dimensional materials and their applications. Although their properties are theoretically confirmed, they are yet to be explored and confirmed experimentally. In this review article, we present advancements in research on borophene, its synthesis, and unique properties, including its advantages for various applications with theoretical predictions. The uniqueness of borophene over graphene and other 2-dimensional (2D) materials is also highlighted along with their various structural stabilities. The strategy for its theoretical simulations, leading to the experimental synthesis, could also be helpful for the exploration of many newer 2D materials.

Abstract
By using I2 as an oxidant and CH3CN as a reaction medium, few-layer Mg-deficient borophene nanosheets (FBN) with a stoichiometric ratio of Mg0.22B2 are prepared by oxidizing MgB2 in a mixture of CH3CN and HCl for 14 days under nitrogen protection and followed by ultrasonic delaminating in CH3CN for 2 h. The prepared FBN possess a two-dimensional flake morphology, and they show a clear interference fringe with a d-spacing of 0.251 nm corresponding to the (208) plane of rhombohedral boron. While maintaining the hexagonal boron networks of MgB2, the FBN have an average thickness of about 4.14 nm (four monolayer borophene) and a lateral dimension of 500 nm, and the maximum Mg deintercalation rate can reach 78%. The acidity of the reaction system plays an important role; the HCl reaction system not only facilitates the oxidation of MgB2 by I2, but also increases the deintercalation ratio of Mg atoms. Etching of the Mg atom layer with HCl, the negative charge decrease of the boron layer by I2 oxidation, and the Mg chelating effect from CH3COOH due to the hydrolysis of CH3CN in an HCl environment led to a high deintercalation rate of the Mg atom. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further support the result that the maximum deintercalation rate of Mg atoms is about 78% while maintaining the hexagonal layer structure of boron. This research solves the problems of low Mg atom deintercalation rate and hexagonal boron structure destruction when using the precursor MgB2 to produce borophene nanosheets, which is of great significance for large-scale novel preparation and application of borophene nanosheets.

Abstract
All-optical wavelength conversion technology based on two-dimensional (2D) materials has lately received keen interest. As a new 2D material, borophene displays acceptable photoelectric properties. We demonstrate the all-optical wavelength conversion through four-wave mixing (FWM) in borophene-microfiber hybrid waveguides. Borophene is deposited at the thinnest part of the tapered fiber and enhanced FWM occurs in this photonic device. By optimizing the effect of nonlinear polarization, wavelength tuning, and power variation, the conversion efficiency increases to -19.1dB, corresponding to 3 dB conversion bandwidth in a range of 7.1 nm. In addition, this photonic device is employed to achieve all-optical wavelength conversion of 10 Gb/s non-return-to-zero digital sequence. The signal quality of converted light such as optical signal-to-noise ratio, bit-error-rate, and eye diagram are investigated, which indicates that the proposed wavelength converter has high conversion efficiency and remarkable stability. This study shows that the borophene-microfiber waveguide has potential application prospects in all-optical signal processing.

Abstract
Graphdiyne (GDY), which possess sp- and sp2-hybridized carbon and Dirac cones, offers unique physical and chemical properties, including an adjustable intrinsic bandgap, excellent charge carrier transfer efficiency, and superior conductivity compared to other carbon allotropes. These exceptional qualities of GDY and its derivatives have been successfully used in a variety of fields, including catalysis, energy, environmental protection, and biological applications. Herein, we focus on the potential application of GDY and its derivatives in the biomedical domain, including biosensing, biological protection, cancer therapy, and antibacterial agents, demonstrating how the biomimetic behavior of these materials can be a step forward in bridging the gap between nature and applications. Considering the excellent biocompatibility, solubility and selectivity of GDY and its derived materials, they have shown great potential as biosensing and bio-imaging materials. The unusual combination of properties in GDY has been used in biological applications such as "OFF-ON" DNA detection and enzymatic sensing, where GDY has a greater adsorption capacity than graphene and other 2D materials, resulting in increased sensitivity. GDY and its derivatives have also been used in cancer treatment due to their high doxorubicin (DOX) loading capacity (using-stacking) and photothermal conversion ability, and radiation protection since their initial biological use. The poor biodegradation rate of graphene demands the search for new nanomaterials. Accordingly, GDY has better biocompatibility and bio-safety than other 2D nanomaterials, especially graphene and its oxide, due to its absence of aggregation in the physiological environment. Thus, GDY-based nanomaterials have become promising candidates as bio-delivery carriers. Besides, GDY and GDY-based materials have also shown interesting applications in the fields of cell-culture, cell-growth and tissue engineering. Herein, we present a comprehensive review on the applications of GDY and its derivatives as biomedical materials, followed by their future perspectives. This review will provide an outlook for the application of graphene and its derivatives and may open up new horizons to inspire broader interests across various disciplines. Finally, the future prospects for GDY-based materials are examined for their potential biological use.

Abstract
A new planar carbon allotrope named net-Y with periodic four-six-eight-membered carbon rings has been synthesized in this study. In this paper, the adsorption properties of CO and CO2 on the pristine net-Y and two Fe-doped net-Y surfaces were studied using first-principles calculations. Using adsorption energy, charge analysis, adsorption distance, deformation charge density and density of states, it can be found that the adsorption of CO and CO2 on the pristine net-Y surface appears as physisorption with weak interactions. Based on this, in order to enhance the adsorption strength of CO and CO2 on the surface of net-Y, Fe-doping is performed on net-Y. The calculation results after doping show that the doping of Fe atoms at different positions can significantly improve the adsorption strength of the two gas molecules. After CO and CO2 are adsorbed on the doped net-Y surface, the adsorption energy is greatly improved compared with the pristine adsorption energy, which makes the two gas molecules form a chemical bond with the substrate. Subsequently, the results of charge density and density of states further prove that the adsorption system shows chemisorption with strong interactions. Comparing doped and pristine adsorption, after Fe doping, the adsorption of CO and CO2 is stronger, which makes it possible to use this material effectively for the adsorption and removal of CO and CO2 gases.

Abstract
In this research, the potential application of borophene as gas sensor device is explored. The first-principles theory is employed to investigate the sensing performance of pristine and Li-doped borophene for SO2and five main atmospheric gases (including CH4, CO2, N2, CO and H2). All gases are found to be adsorbed weakly on pristine borophene, which shows weak physical interaction between the pristine borophene and gases. The gas adsorption performance of borophene is improved by the doping of Li atom. The results of adsorption energy suggest that Li-borophene exhibits high selectivity to SO2molecule. Moreover, analyses of the charge transfer, density of states and work function also confirm the introduction of Li adatom on borophene significantly enhances the selectivity and sensitivity to SO2. In addition, desorption time of gas from pristine and Li doped borophene indicates the Li-borophene has good desorption characteristics for SO2molecule at high temperatures. This research would be helpful for understanding the influence of Li doping on borophene and presents the potential application of Li-borophene as a SO2gas sensor or scavenger.

Abstract
The successful photo-catalyst library gives significant information on feature that affects photo-catalytic performance and proposes new materials. Competency is considerably significant to form multi-functional photo-catalysts with flexible characteristics. Since recently, two-dimensional materials (2DMs) gained much attention from researchers, due to their unique thickness-dependent uses, mainly for photo-catalytic, outstanding chemical and physical properties. Photo-catalytic water splitting and hydrogen (H2) evolution by plentiful compounds as electron (e-) donors is estimated to participate in constructing clean method for solar H2-formation. Heterogeneous photo-catalysis received much research attention caused by their applications to tackle numerous energy and environmental issues. This broad review explains progress regarding 2DMs, significance in structure, and catalytic results. We will discuss in detail current progresses of approaches for adjusting 2DMs-based photo-catalysts to assess their photo-activity including doping, hetero-structure scheme, and functional formation assembly. Suggested plans, e.g., doping and sensitization of semiconducting 2DMs, increasing electrical conductance, improving catalytic active sites, strengthening interface coupling in semiconductors (SCs) 2DMs, forming nano-structures, building multi-junction nano-composites, increasing photo-stability of SCs, and using combined results of adapted approaches, are summed up. Hence, to further improve 2DMs photo-catalyst properties, hetero-structure design-based 2DMs' photo-catalyst basic mechanism is also reviewed.
