Abstract
Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) is a promising technology to establish an artificial carbon cycle. Two-dimensional conjugated metal-organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs) with high electrical conductivity have great potential as catalysts. Herein, we designed a range of 2D c-MOFs with different transition metal atoms and organic ligands, TMNxO4-x-HDQ (TM = Cr∼Cu, Mo, Ru∼Ag, W∼Au; x = 0, 2, 4; HDQ = hexadipyrazinoquinoxaline), and systematically studied their catalytic performance using density functional theory (DFT). Calculation results indicated that all of TMNxO4-x-HDQ structures possess good thermodynamic and electrochemical stability. Notably, among the examined 37 MOFs, 6 catalysts outperformed the Cu(211) surface in terms of catalytic activity and product selectivity. Specifically, NiN4-HDQ emerged as an exceptional electrocatalyst for CO production in CO2RR, yielding a remarkable low limiting potential (UL) of -0.04 V. CuN4-HDQ, NiN2O2-HDQ, and PtN2O2-HDQ also exhibited high activity for HCOOH production, with UL values of -0.27, -0.29, and -0.27 V, respectively, while MnN4-HDQ, and NiO4-HDQ mainly produced CH4 with UL values of -0.58 and -0.24 V, respectively. Furthermore, these 6 catalysts efficiently suppressed the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction. Machine learning (ML) analysis revealed that the key intrinsic factors influencing CO2RR performance of these 2D c-MOFs include electron affinity (EA), electronegativity (χ), the first ionization energy (Ie), p-band center of the coordinated N/O atom (εp), the radius of metal atom (r), and d-band center (εd). Our findings may provide valuable insights for the exploration of highly active and selective CO2RR electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Lithium (Li) metal is a promising next-generation anode material, but it suffers from dendrite growth and unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). We developed a robust and continuous self-standing covalent organic framework (COF) membrane using a same-phase synthesis method and utilized the membrane as an artificial SEI. The membrane suppressed dendrite growth and enhanced the stability and longevity of Li metal anode cycling.

Abstract
Designing and synthesizing flawless two-dimensional polymers (2D-Ps) via meticulous molecular preorganization presents an intriguing yet challenging frontier in research. We report here the single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) synthesis of a 2D-P via thermally induced topochemical azide-alkyne cycloaddition (TAAC) reaction. A designed monomer incorporating two azide and two alkyne units is synthesized. The azide and alkyne groups are preorganized in the monomer crystal in reactive geometries for polymerizations in two orthogonal directions. On heating, the polymerizations proceed in a hierarchical manner; at first, the monomer reacts regiospecifically in a SCSC fashion to form a 1,5-triazolyl-linked 1D polymer (1D-P), which upon further heating undergoes another SCSC polymerization to a 2D-P through a second regiospecific TAAC reaction forming 1,4-triazolyl-linkages. Two different linkages in orthogonal directions make this an architecturally attractive 2D-P, as determined, at atomic resolution, by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The 2D-P reported here is thermally stable in view of the robust triazole-linkages and can be exfoliated as 2D-sheets.

Abstract
As a member of 2D family, amorphous 2D nanosheets have received increasing attention due to their unique properties that are distinct from crystalline 2D nanosheets. However, compared with the vast library of crystalline 2D nanosheets, amorphous 2D nanosheets are still infancy due to the lack of an efficient synthetic approach. Here, we present a strategy that yields a library of 10 distinct amorphous 2D metal oxides/oxyhydroxides using solid-state surfactant crystals. A key feature of this process is a stepwise reaction using solid surfactant; the solid-state surfactant crystals have metal ions arranged in the interlayer space, and hydrolysis of the metal ions leads to the formation of isolated clusters in the surfactant crystals via limited condensation reactions. Immersing the surfactant crystals in formamide promotes nanosheet formation through the self-assembly of clusters by templating the morphologies of the crystals generated from surfactants crystals. Our approach opens a flatland in amorphous 2D world.

Abstract
In organic-inorganic hybrid devices, fine interfacial controls by organic components directly affect the device performance. However, fabrication of uniformed interfaces using π-conjugated molecules remains challenging due to facile aggregation by their strong π-π interaction. In this report, a π-conjugated scaffold insulated by covalently linked permethylated α-cyclodextrin moiety with an azido group is synthesized for surface Huisgen cycloaddition on metal oxides. Fourier-transformed infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirm the successful immobilization of the insulated azido scaffold on ZnO nanowire array surfaces. Owing to the highly independent immobilization, the scaffold allows rapid and complete conversion of the surface azido group in Huisgen cycloaddition reactions with ethynyl-terminated molecules, as confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy monitoring. Cyclic voltammetry analysis of modified indium tin oxide substrates shows the positive effects of cyclic insulation toward suppression of intermolecular interaction between molecules introduced by the surface Huisgen cycloaddition reactions. The utility of the scaffold for heterogeneous catalysis is demonstrated in electrocatalytic selective O2 reduction to H2O2 with cobalt(II) chlorin modified fluorine doped tin oxide electrode and photocatalytic H2 generation with iridium(III) dye-sensitized Pt-loaded TiO2 nanoparticle. These results highlight the potential of the insulated azido scaffold for a stepwise functionalization process, enabling precise and well-defined hybrid interfaces.

Abstract
ConspectusMembranes are pivotal in a myriad of energy production processes and modern separation techniques. They are essential in devices for energy generation, facilities for extracting energy elements, and plants for wastewater treatment, each of which hinges on effective ion separation. While biological ion channels show exceptional permeability and selectivity, designing synthetic membranes with defined pore architecture and chemistry on the (sub)nanometer scale has been challenging. Consequently, a typical trade-off emerges: highly permeable membranes often sacrifice selectivity and vice versa. To tackle this dilemma, a comprehensive understanding and modeling of synthetic membranes across various scales is imperative. This lays the foundation for establishing design criteria for advanced membrane materials. Key attributes for such materials encompass appropriately sized pores, a narrow pore size distribution, and finely tuned interactions between desired permeants and the membrane. The advent of covalent-organic-framework (COF) membranes offers promising solutions to the challenges faced by conventional membranes in selective ion separation within the water-energy nexus. COFs are molecular Legos, facilitating the precise integration of small organic structs into extended, porous, crystalline architectures through covalent linkage. This unique molecular architecture allows for precise control over pore sizes, shapes, and distributions within the membrane. Additionally, COFs offer the flexibility to modify their pore spaces with distinct functionalities. This adaptability not only enhances their permeability but also facilitates tailored interactions with specific ions. As a result, COF membranes are positioned as prime candidates to achieve both superior permeability and selectivity in ion separation processes.In this Account, we delineate our endeavors aimed at leveraging the distinctive attributes of COFs to augment ion separation processes, tackling fundamental inquiries while identifying avenues for further exploration. Our strategies for fabricating COF membranes with enhanced ion selectivity encompass the following: (1) crafting (sub)nanoscale ion channels to enhance permselectivity, thereby amplifying energy production; (2) implementing a multivariate (MTV) synthesis method to control charge density within nanochannels, optimizing ion transport efficiency; (3) modifying the pore environment within confined mass transfer channels to establish distinct pathways for ion transport. For each strategy, we expound on its chemical foundations and offer illustrative examples that underscore fundamental principles. Our efforts have culminated in the creation of groundbreaking membrane materials that surpass traditional counterparts, propelling advancements in sustainable energy conversion, waste heat utilization, energy element extraction, and pollutant removal. These innovations are poised to redefine energy systems and industrial wastewater management practices. In conclusion, we outline future research directions and highlight key challenges that need addressing to enhance the ion/molecular recognition capabilities and practical applications of COF membranes. Looking forward, we anticipate ongoing advancements in functionalization and fabrication techniques, leading to enhanced selectivity and permeability, ultimately rivaling the capabilities of biological membranes.

Abstract
Two-dimensional metal-organic networks (2D MONs) having heterogeneous coordination nodes (HCNs) could exhibit excellent performance in catalysis and optoelectronics because of the unbalanced electron distribution of the coordinating metals. Therefore, the design and construction of 2D MONs with HCNs are highly desirable but remain challenging. Here, we report the construction of 2D organometallic coordination networks with an organic Kagome lattice and a semiregular metal lattice on Au(111) via the in situ formation of HCNs. Using a bifunctional precursor 1,4-dibromo-2,5-diisocyanobenzene, the coordination of isocyano with Au adatom on a room-temperature Au(111) yielded metal-organic coordination chains with isocyano-Au-isocyano nodes. In contrast, on a high-temperature Au(111), a selective debromination/coordination cascade reaction occurred, affording 2D organometallic coordination networks with phenyl-Au-isocyano nodes. By combining scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory calculations, we determined the structures of coordination products and the nature of coordination nodes, demonstrating a thermodynamically favorable pathway for forming the phenyl-Au-isocyano nodes.

Abstract
The exploration and synthesis of novel materials are integral to scientific and technological progress. Since the prediction and synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) materials, it is expected to play an important role in the application of industrialization and the information age, resulting from its excellent physical and chemical properties. Currently, researchers have effectively utilized a range of material synthesis techniques, including mechanical exfoliation, redox reactions, chemical vapor deposition, and chemical vapor transport, to fabricate two-dimensional materials.

Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) have emerged as a promising candidate for energy storage applications and have been extensively investigated over the past few years. Due to their high theoretical capacity, nature of abundance, and high safety, AIBs can be considered an alternative to lithium-ion batteries. However, the electrochemical performance of AIBs for large-scale applications is still limited due to the poor selection of cathode materials. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been regarded as appropriate cathode materials for AIBs due to their wide layer spacing, large surface area, and distinct physiochemical characteristics. This mini-review provides a succinct summary of recent research progress on TMD-based cathode materials in non-aqueous AIBs. The latest developments in the benefits of utilizing 3D-printed electrodes for AIBs are also explored.

Abstract
In recent years in the field of traditional materials, traditional polyaniline has faced a number of scientific problems such as an irregular morphology, high difficulty in crystallization, and difficulty in forming an ordered structure compared to the corresponding inorganic materials. In response to these urgent issues, this study determines how to prepare a highly ordered structure in polyaniline formed at the gas-liquid interface. By dynamically arranging aniline monomers into a highly ordered structure with sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) surfactant, aniline polymerization is initiated at the gas-liquid interface, resulting in two-dimensional polyaniline crystal sheets with a highly ordered structure. By elucidating the microstructure, crystallization process, and molecular structure of the two-dimensional polyaniline crystal sheets, the practical application of polyaniline as an encryption label in the field of electrochromism has been further expanded, thus making polyaniline widely used in the field of information encryption. Therefore, the synthesis of flaky polyaniline crystal sheets has a role in scientific research and practical application, which will arouse the interest and exploration of researchers.

Abstract
Organic memristors as promising electronic units are attracting significant attention owing to their simplicity of molecular structure design. However, fabricating high-quality organic films via novel synthetic technologies and exploring unprecedented chemical structures to achieve excellent memory performance in organic memristor devices are highly challenging. In this work, we report a cathodic electropolymerization to synthesize an ionic azulene-based memristive film (PPMAz-Py+Br-) under the molecular-potential and redox coregulation. During the cathodic electropolymerization process, electropositive pyridinium salts migrate to the cathode under an electric field, undergo a reduction-coupling deprotonation reaction, and polymerize into a uniform film with a controllable thickness on the electrode surface. The prepared Al/PPMAz-Py+Br-/ITO devices not only exhibit a high ON/OFF ratio of 1.8 × 103, high stability, long memory retention, and endurance under a wide range of voltage scans, but also achieve excellent multilevel storage and history-dependent memristive performance. In addition, the devices can mimic important biosynaptic functions, such as learning/forgetting function, synaptic enhancement/inhibition, paired-pulse facilitation/depression, and spiking-rate-dependent plasticity. The tunable memristive performances are attributed to the capture of free electrons on pyridinium cations, the migration of the aluminum ions (Al3+), and the form of Al conductive filaments under voltage scans.

Abstract
The creation of micrometer-sized sheets of silver at the air-water interface by direct deposition of electrospray-generated silver ions (Ag+) on an aqueous dispersion of reduced graphene oxide (RGO), in ambient conditions, is reported. In the process of electrospray deposition (ESD), an electrohydrodynamic flow is created in the aqueous dispersion, and the graphene sheets assemble, forming a thin film at the air-water interface. The deposited Ag+ coalesce to make single-crystalline Ag sheets on top of this assembled graphene layer. Fast neutralization of Ag+ forming atomic Ag, combined with their enhanced mobility on graphene surfaces, presumably facilitates the growth of larger Ag clusters. Moreover, restrictions imposed by the interface drive the crystal growth in 2D. By controlling the precursor salt concentration, RGO concentration, deposition time, and ion current, the dimensionality of the Ag sheets can be tuned. These Ag sheets are effective substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), as demonstrated by the successful detection of methylene blue at nanomolar concentrations.

Abstract
Semiconductor nanofilm fabrication with advanced technology is of great importance for next-generation electronics/optoelectronics. Fabrication of high-quality and perfectly oriented semiconductor thin films and integration into high-performance electronic devices with low cost and high efficiency are huge challenges. Here we exquisitely utilized the Marangoni effect to perfectly guide tin disulfide (SnS2) nanocoins into an ordered assembly in milliseconds, resulting in an uniaxial-oriented monolayer semiconductor film. Further exploration revealed that the formed "crumple zone" at the interface caused by the Marangoni force endows the nanofilm with a rapid healable capability, which can be easily transferred to arbitrary substrates. As a proof of concept, the nanocoin-monolayer was transferred onto a micro-interdigitated electrode substrate to form a high-performance chemiresistive sensor that can effectively monitor the trace amounts of toxic gases. In addition, the assembled monolayer nanofilms can be conformally printed on freeform surfaces: both flat and nonflat substrates. This efficient and low-cost Marangoni force-assisted surface self-assembly (MFA-SSA) strategy is promising for advanced microelectronics and real industrial applications.

Abstract
The important concept of confined synthesis is considered a promising strategy for the design and synthesis of definable nanostructured materials with controllable compositions and specific morphology, such as highly loaded single-atom catalysts capable of providing abundant active sites for photocatalytic reactions. In recent years, researchers have been working on developing new confined reaction systems and searching for new confined spaces. Here, we present for the first time the concept of a bubble liquid film as a novel confined space. The liquid film has a typical sandwich structure consisting of a water layer, sandwiched between the upper and lower surfactant layers, with the thickness of the intermediate water layer at the micro- and nanometer scales, which can serve as a good confinement. Based on the above understanding and combined with the photodeposition method, we successfully confined synthesized Ag/TiO2, Au/TiO2, and Pd/TiO2 photocatalysts in liquid film. By HAADF-STEM, it can be seen that the noble metal morphologies are all nanoclusters of about 1 nm and are highly uniformly dispersed on the TiO2 surface. Compared with photodeposition in solution, we believe that the surfactant molecular layer restricts a limited amount of precursor to the liquid film, avoiding the accumulation of noble metals and the formation of large particle size nanoparticles. The liquid film, meanwhile, restricts the migration path of noble metal precursors, allowing for thorough in situ photodeposition and enables the complete and uniform dispersion of noble metal precursors, greatly reducing the photodeposition time. The uniform loading of the three noble metals proved the universality of the method, and the catalysts showed high activity for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The rates of reduction of CO2 to CO over the Ag/TiO2 photocatalytic reached 230 μmol g-1 h-1.This study provides a new idea for the expansion of the confined reaction system and a reference for the study of liquid film as the confined space.

Abstract
Replacement of sp2-hybridized carbon in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by boron affords electron-deficient π-scaffolds due to the vacant pz-orbital of three-coordinate boron with the potential for pronounced electronic interactions with electron-rich metal surfaces. Using a diboraperylene diborinic acid derivative as precursor and a controlled on-surface non-covalent synthesis approach, we report on a self-assembled chiral supramolecular kagome network on an Ag(111) surface stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions at low temperature. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) reveal a flat band at ca. 0.33 eV above the Fermi level which is localized at the molecule center, in good agreement with tight-binding model calculations of flat bands characteristic for kagome lattices.

Abstract
Elemental 2D materials (E2DMs) have been attracting considerable attention owing to their chemical simplicity and excellent/exotic properties. However, the lack of robust chemical synthetic methods seriously limits their potential. Here, a surfactant-free liquid-phase synthesis of high-quality 2D tellurium is reported based on ultrasonication-assisted exfoliation of metastable 1T'-MoTe2. The as-grown 2D tellurium nanosheets exhibit excellent single crystallinity, ideal 2D morphology, surfactant-free surface, and negligible 1D by-products. Furthermore, a unique growth mechanism based on the atomic escape of Te atoms from metastable transition metal dichalcogenides and guided 2D growth in the liquid phase is proposed and verified. 2D tellurium-based field-effect transistors show ultrahigh hole mobility exceeding 1000 cm2 V-1 s-1 at room temperature attributing to the high crystallinity and surfactant-free surface, and exceptional chemical and operational stability using both solid-state dielectric and liquid-state electrical double layer. The facile ultrasonication-assisted synthesis of high-quality 2D tellurium paves the way for further exploration of E2DMs and expands the scope of liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) methodology toward the controlled wet-chemical synthesis of functional nanomaterials.

Abstract
The maximum range of perpendicular momentum transfer (q z) has been tripled for X-ray scattering from liquid surfaces when using a double-crystal deflector setup to tilt the incident X-ray beam. This is achieved by employing a higher-energy X-ray beam to access Miller indices of reflecting crystal atomic planes that are three times higher than usual. The deviation from the exact Bragg angle condition induced by misalignment between the X-ray beam axis and the main rotation axis of the double-crystal deflector is calculated, and a fast and straightforward procedure to align them is deduced. An experimental method of measuring scattering intensity along the q z direction on liquid surfaces up to q z = 7 Å-1 is presented, with liquid copper serving as a reference system for benchmarking purposes.

Abstract
2D conjugated polymers (2DCPs) possess extended in-plane π-conjugated lattice and out-of-plane π-π stacking, which results in enhanced electronic performance and potentially unique band structures. These properties, along with predesignability, well-defined channels, easy postmodification, and order structure attract extensive attention from material science to organic electronics. In this review, the recent advance in the interfacial synthesis and conductivity tuning strategies of 2DCP thin films, as well as their application in organic electronics is summarized. Furthermore, it is shown that, by combining topology structure design and targeted conductivity adjustment, researchers have fabricated 2DCP thin films with predesigned active groups, highly ordered structures, and enhanced conductivity. These films exhibit great potential for various thin-film organic electronics, such as organic transistors, memristors, electrochromism, chemiresistors, and photodetectors. Finally, the future research directions and perspectives of 2DCPs are discussed in terms of the interfacial synthetic design and structure engineering for the fabrication of fully conjugated 2DCP thin films, as well as the functional manipulation of conductivity to advance their applications in future organic electronics.

Abstract
2D materials, with advantages of atomic thickness and novel physical/chemical characteristics, have emerged as the vital building blocks for advanced lamellar membranes which possess promising potential in energy storage, ion separation, and catalysis. When 2D materials are stacked together, the van der Waals (vdW) force generated between adjacent layered nanosheets induces the construction of an ordered lamellar membrane. By regulating the interlayer spacing down to the nanometer or even sub-nanometer scale, rapid and selective ion transport can be achieved through such vdW gaps. The further improvement and application of qualified 2D materials-based lamellar membranes (2DLMs) can be fulfilled by the rational design of nanochannels and the intelligent micro-environment regulation under different stimuli. Focusing on the newly emerging advances of 2DLMs, in this review, the common top-down and bottom-up synthesis approaches of 2D nanosheets and the design strategy of functional 2DLMs are briefly introduced. Two essential ion transport mechanisms within vdW gaps are also involved. Subsequently, the responsive 2DLMs based on different types of external stimuli and their unique applications in nanofluid transport, membrane-based filters, and energy storage are presented. Based on the above analysis, the existing challenges and future developing prospects of 2DLMs are further proposed.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL), integrating the characteristics of electrochemistry and fluorescence, has the advantages of high sensitivity and low background. However, only a few studies have been reported for enantioselective sensing based on the ECL-active platform because of the huge challenges in constructing tunable chiral ECL luminophores. Here, we developed a facile strategy to design and prepare ECL-active chiral covalent organic frameworks (COFs) Ph-triPy+-(R)-Ru(II) for enantioselective sensing. In such an artificial structure, the ionic skeleton of COFs was beneficial to the electron transfer on the working electrode surface and the chiral Ru-ligand was used as the chiral ECL-active luminophore. It was found that Ph-triPy+-(R)-Ru(II) coupled with sodium persulfate (Na2S2O8) as the coreactant exhibited obvious ECL signals. More importantly, a clear difference toward l- and d-enantiomers was observed in the response of the ECL intensity, resulting in a uniform recognition law. That is, for amino alcohols, d-enantiomers (1 mM) measured by Ph-triPy+-(R)-Ru(II) showed a higher ECL intensity compared with l-enantiomers. Differently, amino acids (1 mM) gave an inverse recognition phenomenon. The ECL intensity ratios between l- and d-enantiomers (1 mM) are in the range of 1.25-1.94 for serine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, valine, leucine, leucinol, and valinol. What is more interesting is that the ECL intensity was closely related to the concentration of l-amino alcohols and d-amino acids, whereas their inverse configurations remained unchanged. In a word, the present concept demonstrates a feasible direction toward chiral ECL-active COFs and their potential for efficient enantioselective sensing.

Abstract
Noble metal-based catalyst, despite their exorbitant cost, are the only successful catalyst for bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis owing to their capability to drive forward the reaction rate kinetically. Therefore, it is desirable to diminish the noble metal loading without any compromise in the catalyst performance. In this study, the aim to achieve two goals with one action via a single-step route to have ultra-low loading of Pd in the catalyst. The Pd is used as a catalyst for C─C bond formation followed by complexation reactions or vice versa, in conventional Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling (SMCC) reaction, which yields a Pd-based porous organic polymer. Interestingly, it is found that dispersed Pd nanocluster (PdNC ) is present together with Pd single atom doped into nanocarbon (Pd-NC) matrix in the catalyst (PdNC /Pd-NC800 ) that obtained after pyrolysis of the porous polymer. The catalyst exhibits remarkable bifunctional activity and durability towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Further, it is studied that the in situ attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy at different electrochemical potentials during ORR and OER to observe the reaction intermediates. The homemade zinc-air battery with the catalyst displayed great performance, establishing the significance of PdNC /Pd-NC800 as a bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst.

Abstract
The self-assembly of core/shell nanoparticles (NPs) at fluid interfaces is a rapidly evolving area with tremendous potential in various fields, including biomedicine, display devices, catalysts, and sensors. This review provides an in-depth exploration of the current state-of-the-art in the programmed design of stimuli-responsive NP assemblies, with a specific focus on inorganic core/organic shell NPs below 100 nm for their responsive adsorption properties at fluid and polymer interfaces. The interface properties, such as ligands, charge, and surface chemistry, play a significant role in dictating the forces and energies governing both NP-NP and NP-hosting matrix interactions. We highlight the fundamental principles governing the reversible surface chemistry of NPs and present detailed experimental examples in the following three key aspects of stimuli-responsive NP assembly: (i) stimuli-driven assembly of NPs at the air/liquid interface, (ii) reversible NP assembly at the liquid/liquid interface, including films and Pickering emulsions, and (iii) hybrid NP assemblies at the polymer/polymer and polymer/water interfaces that exhibit stimuli-responsive behaviors. Finally, we address current challenges in existing approaches and offer a new perspective on the advances in this field.

Abstract
Two-dimensional polymers (2DPs) are a class of 2D crystalline polymer materials with definite structures, which have outstanding physical-chemical and electronic properties. They cleverly link organic building units through strong covalent bonds and can construct functional 2DPs through reasonable design and selection of different monomer units to meet various application requirements. As promising energy materials, 2DPs have developed rapidly in recent years. This review first introduces the basic overview of 2DPs, such as their historical development, inherent 2D characteristics and diversified topological advantages, followed by the summary of the typical 2DP synthesis methods recently (including "top-down" and "bottom-up" methods). The latest research progress in assembly and processing of 2DPs and the energy-related applications in energy storage and conversion are also discussed. Finally, we summarize and prospect the current research status, existing challenges, and future research directions of 2DPs.

Abstract
Zinc porphene is a two-dimensional material made of fully fused zinc porphyrins in a tetragonal lattice. It has a fully conjugated π-system, making it similar to graphene. Zinc porphene has recently been synthesized, and a combination of rough conductivity measurements and infrared and Raman spectroscopies all suggested that it is a semiconductor (Magnera, T.F. et al. Porphene and Porphite as Porphyrin Analogs of Graphene and Graphite, Nat. Commun.2023, 14, 6308). This is in contrast with all previous predictions of its electronic structure, which indicated metallic conductivity. We show that the gap-opening in zinc porphene is caused by a Peierls distortion of its unit cell from square to rectangular, thus giving the first account of its electronic structure in agreement with the experiment. Accounting for this distortion requires proper treatment of electron delocalization, which can be done using hybrid functionals with a substantial amount of exact exchange. Such a functional, PBE38, is then applied to predict the properties of many first transition row metalloporphenes, some of which have already been prepared. We find that changing the metal strongly affects the electronic structure of metalloporphenes, resulting in a rich variety of both metallic conductors and semiconductors, which may be of great interest to molecular electronics and spintronics. Properties of these materials are mostly governed by the extent of the Peierls distortion and the number of electrons in their π-system, analogous to changes in aromaticity observed in cyclic conjugated molecules upon oxidation or reduction. These results give an account of how the concept of antiaromaticity can be extended to periodic systems.

Abstract
Highly transparent, conductive nanosheets are extremely attractive for advanced opto-electronic applications. Previously, we have demonstrated that transparent, conductive Au nanosheets can be prepared by UV irradiation of Au nanoparticle (AuNP) monolayers spread on water, which serves as the subphase. However, thick Au nanosheets cannot be fabricated because the method is not applicable to large Au NPs. Further, in order to fabricate nanosheets with different thicknesses and compositions, it is necessary to prepare the appropriate NPs. A strategy is needed to produce nanosheets with different thicknesses and compositions from a single type of metal NP monolayer. In this study, we show that this UV irradiation technique can easily be extended as a nanosheet modification method by using subphases containing metal ions. UV irradiation of 4.7 nm AuNP monolayers on 480 µM HAuCl4 solution increased the thickness of Au nanosheets from 3.5 nm to 36.5 nm, which improved conductivity, but reduced transparency. On the other hand, the use of aqueous AgNO3 and CH3COOAg solutions yielded Au-Ag hybrid nanosheets; however, their morphologies depended on the electrolytes used. In Au-Ag nanosheets prepared on aqueous 500 µM AgNO3, Au and Ag metals are homogeneously distributed throughout the nanosheet. On the other hand, in Au-Ag nanosheets prepared on aqueous 500 µM CH3COOAg, AuNPs still remained and these AuNPs were covered with a Ag nanosheet. Further, these Au-Ag hybrid nanosheets had high conductivity without reduced transparency. Therefore, this UV irradiation method, modified by adding metal ions, is quite effective at improving and diversifying properties of Au nanosheets.

Abstract
Porous organic frameworks (POFs) are novel porous materials that have attracted much attention due to their extraordinary properties, such as high specific surface area, tunable pore size, high stability and ease of functionalisation. However, conventional synthesised POFs are mostly large-sized particles or insoluble powders, which are difficult to recycle and have low mass transfer efficiencies, limiting the development of their cutting-edge applications. Therefore, processing POF materials into membrane structures is of great significance. In recent years, interface engineering strategies have proved to be efficient methods for the formation of POF membranes. In this perspective, recent advances in the use of interfaces to prepare POF membranes are reviewed. The challenges of this strategy and the potential applications of the formed POF membranes are discussed.

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
Covalent organic framework (COF) membranes featuring uniform topological structures and devisable functions, show huge potential in water purification and molecular separation. Nevertheless, the inability of uniform COF membranes to be produced on an industrial scale and their nonenvironmentally friendly fabrication method are the bottleneck preventing their industrial applications. Herein, we report a new green and industrially adaptable scraping-assisted interfacial polymerization (SAIP) technique to fabricate scalable and uniform TpPa COF membranes. The process used non-toxic and low-volatility ionic liquids (ILs) as organic phase instead of conventional organic solvents for interfacial synthesis of TpPa COF layer on a support membrane, which can simultaneously achieve the purposes of (i) improving the greenness of membrane-forming process and (ii) fabricating a robust membrane that can function beyond the conventional membranes. This approach yields a large-area, continuous COF membrane (19×25 cm2 ) with a thickness of 78 nm within a brief period of 2 minutes. The resulting membrane exhibited an unprecedented combination of high permeance (48.09 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 ) and antibiotic desalination efficiency (e.g., NaCl/adriamycin separation factor of 41.8), which is superior to the commercial benchmarking membranes.

Abstract
The functions of nanomaterials are closely linked with their fine structures and compositions. Precisely processing nanoparticles into morphology- and composition-varied nanostructures can a cutting-edge technology for producing complex nanostructures. Herein, we develop an interface-confined precise processing strategy towards toluene/water-interfacial Ag nanowires. Interfacial Ag nanowires are transformed into AgPd-nanoparticle-sealed AgAu nanotroughs with abundant AgPd/AgAu hetero-junctions (i.e., AgPdAu hetero-junction nanostructures). By adjusting the reaction conditions, composition-varied AgPdAu hetero-junction nanostructures can be obtained. The formation of AgPdAu hetero-junction nanostructures can be attributed to interface-confined precise etching towards Ag nanowires separately from the two subphases of the water and the toluene. Composition-optimized Ag13Pd67Au20 hetero-junction nanostructure shows satisfactory catalytic performance towards ethanol electrooxidation: ∼4 and 2 times in electrochemical-activity-surface-area-normalized activities; ∼6 and 5 times in mass-normalized activities higher than commercial Pd/C and Pt/C, respectively. The outstanding catalytic capability of Ag13Pd67Au20 may be attributed to optimized composition, porous nanostructures as well as abundant AgPd/AgAu hetero-junctions. This work demonstrates the feasibility of precisely processing interfacial nanoparticles, opening the way for creating morphology-well-defined composition-varied complex nanostructures.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy is a powerful technology in trace analysis. However, the wide applications of SERS in practice are limited by the expensive substrate materials and the complicated preparation processes. Here we report a simple and economical galvanic-replacement-assisted synthesis route to prepare Ag nanoparticles on Cu(0) foil (nanoAg@Cu), which can be directly used as SERS substrate. The fabrication process is fast (ca. 10 min) and easily scaled up to centimeters or even larger. In addition, the morphology of the nanoAg@Cu (with Ag particles size from 30 nm to 160 nm) can be adjusted by various additives (e.g., amino-containing ligands). Finally, we show that the as-prepared nanoAg@Cu can be used for SERS characterization of two-dimensional polymers, and ca. 298 times relative enhancement of Raman intensity is achieved. This work offers a simple and economical strategy for the scalable fabrication of silver-based SERS substrate in thin film analysis.

[PMID: 38112524 PMCID: PMC10785817 DOI: 10.1021/jacs.3c10691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are usually synthesized under solvothermal conditions that require the use of toxic organic solvents, high reaction temperatures, and complicated procedures. Additionally, their insolubility and infusibility present substantial challenges in the processing of COFs. Herein, we report a facile, green approach for the synthesis of imine-linked COFs in an aqueous solution at room temperature. The key behind the synthesis is the regulation of the reaction rate. The preactivation of aldehyde monomers using acetic acid significantly enhances their reactivity in aqueous solutions. Meanwhile, the still somewhat lower imine formation rate and higher imine breaking rates in aqueous solution, in contrast to conventional solvothermal synthesis, allow for the modulation of the reaction equilibrium and the crystallization of the products. As a result, highly crystalline COFs with large surface areas can be formed in relatively high yields in a few minutes. In total, 16 COFs are successfully synthesized from monomers with different molecular sizes, geometries, pendant groups, and core structures, demonstrating the versatility of this approach. Notably, this method works well on the gram scale synthesis of COFs. Furthermore, the aqueous synthesis facilitates the interfacial growth of COF nanolayers on the surface of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs). The resulting CNF@COF hybrid nanofibers can be easily processed into freestanding nanopapers, demonstrating high efficiency in removing trace amounts of antibiotics from wastewater. This study provides a route to the green synthesis and processing of various COFs, paving the way for practical applications in diverse fields.

Abstract
The emerging two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors substantially extend materials bases for versatile applications such as semiconductor photocatalysis demanding semiconductive matrices and large surface areas. The dimensionality, while endowing 2D semiconductors the unique properties to host photocatalytic functionality of pollutant removal and hydrogen evolution, hurdles the activation paths to form heterogenous photocatalysts where the photochemical processes are normally superior over these on the mono-compositional counterparts. In this perspective, we present a cross-dimensional strategy to employ thenD (n= 0-2) clusters or nanomaterials as activation partners to boost the photocatalytic activities of the 2D semiconductors. The formation principles of heterogenous photocatalysts are illustrated specifically for the 2D matrices, followed by selection criteria of them among the vast 2D database. The computer investigations are illustrated in the density functional theory route and machine learning benefitted from the vast samples in the 2D library. Synthetic realizations and characterizations of the 2D heterogenous systems are introduced with an emphasis on chemical methods and advanced techniques to understand materials and mechanistic studies. The perspective outlooks cross-dimensional activation strategies of the 2D materials for other applications such as CO2removal, and materials matrices in other dimensions which may inspire incoming research within these fields.

Abstract
Electrical conductivity is very important property of nanomaterials for using wide range of applications especially energy applications. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are notorious for their low electrical conductivity and less considered for usage in pristine forms. However, the advantages of high surface area, porosity and confined catalytic active sites motivated researchers to improve the conductivity of MOFs. Therefore, 2D electrical conductive MOFs (ECMOF) have been widely synthesized by developing the effective synthetic strategies. In this article, we have summarized the recent trends in developing the 2D ECMOFs, following the summary of potential applications in the various fields with future perspectives.

Abstract
Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) as a vital component among transistors have shown great potential in smart sensing, flexible displays, and bionics due to their flexibility, biocompatibility and customizable chemical structures. Even though linear conjugated polymer semiconductors are common for constructing channel materials of OTFTs, advanced materials with high charge carrier mobility, tunable band structure, robust stability, and clear structure-property relationship are indispensable for propelling the evolution of OTFTs. Two-dimensional conjugated polymers (2DCPs), featured with conjugated lattice, tailorable skeletons, and functional porous structures, match aforementioned criteria closely. In this review, we firstly introduce the synthesis of 2DCP thin films, focusing on their characteristics compatible with the channels of OTFTs. Subsequently, the physics and operating mechanisms of OTFTs and the applications of 2DCPs in OTFTs are summarized in detail. Finally, the outlook and perspective in the field of OTFTs using 2DCPs are provided as well.

Abstract
Improving the properties of the existing two-dimensional (2D) materials is a major concern for many researchers today. Synergistic coupling of single-phase 2D material species with secondary functional materials has resulted in 2D nanohybrids with significantly enhanced properties beyond the sum of their individual components. In particular, nanohybrids created by alternatingly integrating different material species in the confined 2D nanometer regime have the potential to meet the needs of a wide variety of applications, particularly the many important energy-related applications that are of interest. However, scaling up production of 2D nanohybrids is still challenging, which is a major barrier to their practical application. Delamination and exfoliation by physical means separate the weakly bound 2D nanosheets into kinetically stable single- or few-layers. Herein, we provide a concise overview of recent achievements in the physical exfoliation-based fabrication of 2D nanohybrids featuring controlled heterolayered structures. Several strategies to efficiently produce heterolayered 2D nanohybrids in large quantities are described, such as (i) coexfoliation of different 2D species, (ii) aqueous-phase synthesis, and (iii) gas-phase synthesis. The versatility of the 2D nanohybrids was also illustrated by remarkable research examples, especially in energy-related applications.

Abstract
The water surface provides a highly effective platform for the synthesis of two-dimensional polymers (2DP). In this study, we present an efficient on-water surface synthesis of crystalline monolayer 2D polyimide (2DPI) through the imidization reaction between tetra (4-aminophenyl) porphyrin (M1) and perylenetracarboxylic dianhydride (M2), resulting in excellent stability and coverage over a large area (tens of cm2). We further fabricate innovative organic-inorganic hybrid van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) by combining with exfoliated few-layer molybdenum sulfide (MoS2). High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) reveals face-to-face stacking between MoS2 and 2DPI within the vdWH. This stacking configuration facilitates remarkable charge transfer and noticeable n-type doping effects from monolayer 2DPI to MoS2, as corroborated by Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence measurements, and field-effect transistor (FET) characterizations. Notably, the 2DPI-MoS2 vdWH exhibits an impressive electron mobility of 50 cm2/V·s, signifying a substantial improvement over pristine MoS2 (8 cm2/V·s). This study unveils the immense potential of integrating 2D polymers to enhance semiconductor device functionality through tailored vdWHs, thereby opening up exciting new avenues for exploring unique interfacial physical phenomena.

Abstract
A photoactive two-dimensional coordination polymer (2D CP) [Zn2(4-spy)2(bdc)2]n (1) [4-spy = 4-styrylpyridine and H2bdc = 1,4-benzendicarboxylic acid] undergoes a photochemical [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction upon UV irradiation. Interestingly, the crystals of 1 show different photomechanical effects, such as jumping, swelling, and splitting, during UV irradiation. In addition, the CP was employed for conductivity measurements before and after UV irradiation via current density-voltage characteristics and impedance spectroscopy, which suggest that they are semiconducting in nature and can be used as Schottky diodes. Thus, this work demonstrates the potential dual applications of a 2D CP based on photosalient and conductivity properties.

Abstract
Attaining controllable molecular motion at the nanoscale can be beneficial for multiple reasons, spanning from optoelectronics to catalysis. Here we study the movement of a two-legged molecular walker by modeling the migration of a phenyl aziridine ring on curved graphene. We find that directional ring migration can be attained on graphene in the cases of both 1D (wrinkled/rippled) and 2D (bubble-shaped) curvature. Using a descriptor approach based on graphene's frontier orbital orientation, we can understand the changes in binding energy of the ring as it translates across different sites with variable curvature and the kinetic barriers associated with ring migration. Additionally, we show that the extent of covalent bonding between graphene and the molecule at different sites directly controls the binding energy gradient, propelling molecular migration. Importantly, one can envision such walkers as carriers of charge and disruptors of local bonding. This study enables a new way to tune the electronic structure of two-dimensional materials for a range of applications.

Abstract
Single-crystal polymers (SCPs) with unambiguous chemical structures at atomic-level resolutions have attracted great attention. Obtaining precise structural information of these materials is critical as it enables a deeper understanding of the potential driving forces for specific packing and long-range order, secondary interactions, and kinetic and thermodynamic factors. Such information can ultimately lead to success in controlling the synthesis or engineering of their crystal structures for targeted applications, which could have far-reaching impact. Successful synthesis of SCPs with atomic level control of the structures, especially for those with 2D and 3D architectures, is rare. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in the synthesis of SCPs, including 1D, 2D, and 3D architectures. Solution synthesis, topochemical synthesis, and extreme condition synthesis are summarized and compared. Around 70 examples of SCPs with unambiguous structure information are presented, and their synthesis methods and structural analysis are discussed. This review offers critical insights into the structure-property relationships, providing guidance for the future rational design and bottom-up synthesis of a variety of highly ordered polymers with unprecedented functions and properties.

Abstract
The development of nanolayered materials is one of the greatest challenges in nanoscience. Until now, pseudohalogen-bridged nanosheets using the mechanical exfoliation method have not been reported. A state-of-the-art material, {[FeII(3-acetylpyridine)2][HgII(μ-SCN)4]}n (1), has been developed to achieve the goal. The compound forms a two-dimensional (2D) coordination polymer with weak out-of-plane van der Waals interactions and has an intrinsic tendency to form shear planes perpendicular to the crystallographic c-direction. These structural features predispose 1 to mechanical exfoliation realized by employing the "Scotch-tape method". As a result, nanosheets were fabricated and characterized by digital optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The nanosheets were found to have a minimum thickness of ∼15 nm and a lateral size of several micrometers.

Abstract
Quantum materials are driving a technology revolution in sensing, communication, and computing, while simultaneously testing many core theories of the past century. Materials such as topological insulators, complex oxides, superconductors, quantum dots, color center-hosting semiconductors, and other types of strongly correlated materials can exhibit exotic properties such as edge conductivity, multiferroicity, magnetoresistance, superconductivity, single photon emission, and optical-spin locking. These emergent properties arise and depend strongly on the material's detailed atomic-scale structure, including atomic defects, dopants, and lattice stacking. In this review, we describe how progress in the field of electron microscopy (EM), including in situ and in operando EM, can accelerate advances in quantum materials and quantum excitations. We begin by describing fundamental EM principles and operation modes. We then discuss various EM methods such as (i) EM spectroscopies, including electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), cathodoluminescence (CL), and electron energy gain spectroscopy (EEGS); (ii) four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM); (iii) dynamic and ultrafast EM (UEM); (iv) complementary ultrafast spectroscopies (UED, XFEL); and (v) atomic electron tomography (AET). We describe how these methods could inform structure-function relations in quantum materials down to the picometer scale and femtosecond time resolution, and how they enable precision positioning of atomic defects and high-resolution manipulation of quantum materials. For each method, we also describe existing limitations to solve open quantum mechanical questions, and how they might be addressed to accelerate progress. Among numerous notable results, our review highlights how EM is enabling identification of the 3D structure of quantum defects; measuring reversible and metastable dynamics of quantum excitations; mapping exciton states and single photon emission; measuring nanoscale thermal transport and coupled excitation dynamics; and measuring the internal electric field and charge density distribution of quantum heterointerfaces- all at the quantum materials' intrinsic atomic and near atomic-length scale. We conclude by describing open challenges for the future, including achieving stable sample holders for ultralow temperature (below 10K) atomic-scale spatial resolution, stable spectrometers that enable meV energy resolution, and high-resolution, dynamic mapping of magnetic and spin fields. With atomic manipulation and ultrafast characterization enabled by EM, quantum materials will be poised to integrate into many of the sustainable and energy-efficient technologies needed for the 21st century.

Abstract
Two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) occupy a special place among the large family of functional 2D materials. Even at a monolayer level, 2D MOFs exhibit unique sensing, separation, catalytic, electronic, and conductive properties due to the combination of porosity and organo-inorganic nature. However, lab-to-fab transfer for 2D MOF layers faces the challenge of their scalability, limited by weak interactions between the organic and inorganic building blocks. Here, comparing three top-down approaches to fabricate 2D MOF layers (sonication, freeze-thaw, and mechanical exfoliation), The technological criteria have established for creation of the layers of the thickness up to 1 nm with a record aspect ratio up to 2*10^4:1. The freezing-thaw and mechanical exfoliation are the most optimal approaches; wherein the rate and manufacturability of the mechanical exfoliation rivaling the greatest scalability of 2D MOF layers obtained by freezing-thaw (21300:1 vs 1330:1 aspect ratio), leaving the sonication approach behind (with a record 900:1 aspect ratio) have discovered. The high quality 2D MOF layers with a record aspect ratio demonstrate unique optical sensitivity to solvents of a varied polarity, which opens the way to fabricate scalable and freestanding 2D MOF-based atomically thin chemo-optical sensors by industry-oriented approach.

Abstract
Two-dimensional conjugated metal-organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs) have emerged as a new class of crystalline layered conducting materials that hold significant promise for applications in electronics and spintronics. However, current 2D c-MOFs are mainly made from organic planar ligands, whereas layered 2D c-MOFs constructed by curved or twisted ligands featuring novel orbital structures and electronic states remain less developed. Herein, we report a Cu-catecholate wavy 2D c-MOF (Cu3(HFcHBC)2) based on a fluorinated core-twisted contorted hexahydroxy-hexa-cata-hexabenzocoronene (HFcHBC) ligand. We show that the resulting film is composed of rod-like single crystals with lengths up to ∼4 μm. The crystal structure is resolved by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and continuous rotation electron diffraction (cRED), indicating a wavy honeycomb lattice with AA-eclipsed stacking. Cu3(HFcHBC)2 is predicted to be metallic based on theoretical calculation, while the crystalline film sample with numerous grain boundaries apparently exhibits semiconducting behavior at the macroscopic scale, characterized by obvious thermally activated conductivity. Temperature-dependent electrical conductivity measurements on the isolated single-crystal devices indeed demonstrate the metallic nature of Cu3(HFcHBC)2, with a very weak thermally activated transport behavior and a room-temperature conductivity of 5.2 S cm-1. Furthermore, the 2D c-MOFs can be utilized as potential electrode materials for energy storage, which display decent capacity (163.3 F g-1) and excellent cyclability in an aqueous 5 M LiCl electrolyte. Our work demonstrates that wavy 2D c-MOF using contorted ligands are capable of intrinsic metallic transport, marking the emergence of new conductive MOFs for electronic and energy applications.

Abstract
Owing to their magnificent chemical and physical properties, transition metal-based heterostructures are potential materials for applications ranging from point-of-care diagnostics to sustainable energy technologies. The cryptomelane-type octahedral molecular sieves (K-OMS-2) are extensively studied porous materials with a hollandite (2 × 2 tunnel of dimensions 4.6 × 4.6 Å2) structure susceptible to the isovalent substitution of metal cations at the framework of MnO6 octahedral chains. Here we report a facile in situ synthesis of framework-level zirconium (Zr)-doped K-OMS-2 nanoribbons in poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanoflakes at a water/chloroform interface at ambient conditions. An oxidant system of KMnO4 and ZrOCl2·8H2O initiated the polymerisation at temperatures ranging from 5° to 50 °C. The lattice distortions arising from the framework-level substitution of Mn4+ by Zr4+ in the K-OMS-2 structure were evidenced with powder X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and N2 adsorption-desorption studies. Transmission electron microscopic and mapping images confirmed that PEDOT/Zr-K-OMS-2 comprises a highly crystalline random network of two-dimensional PEDOT flakes and Zr-doped K-OMS-2 nanoribbons. In this regard, the proposed interfacial strategy affirms an in situ method for the morphological tuning of heterostructures on polymer supports at low temperatures.

Abstract
Borophene, the lightest two-dimensional material, exhibits exceptional storage capacity as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). However, the pronounced surface activity gives rise to strong interfacial bonding between borophene and the metal substrate it grows on. Incorporation of heterogeneous atoms capable of forming strong bonds with boron to increase borophene stability while preserving its intrinsic metallic conductivity and high theoretical capacity remains a great challenge. In this study, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) method was employed to determine several new two-dimensional monolayer boron phosphides (BxP, x = 3-6) with rich boron components. The obtained BxP has great potential to be used as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries/potassium-ion batteries (SIBs/PIBs), according to DFT calculations. BxP demonstrates remarkable stability compared with borophene which ensures their feasibility of experimental synthesis. Moreover, B5P and B6P exhibit high electronic conductivity and ionic conductivity, with migration energy barriers of 0.20 and 0.21 eV for Na ions and 0.07 eV for K ions. Moreover, the average open circuit voltage falls within a favorable range of 0.25-0.73 V, which results in a high storage capacity of 1119-2103 mA h g-1 for SIBs and 631-839 mA h g-1 for PIBs. This study paves the way for exploring boron-rich 2D electrode materials for energy applications and provides valuable insights into the functionalization and stabilization of borophene.

Abstract
Access to sustainable energy is paramount in today's world, with a significant emphasis on solar and water-based energy sources. Herein, we develop photo-responsive ionic dye-sensitized covalent organic framework membranes. These innovative membranes are designed to significantly enhance selective ion transport by exploiting the intricate interplay between photons, electrons, and ions. The nanofluidic devices engineered in our study showcase exceptional cation conductivity. Additionally, they can adeptly convert light into electrical signals due to photoexcitation-triggered ion movement. Combining the effects of salinity gradients with photo-induced ion movement, the efficiency of these devices is notably amplified. Specifically, under a salinity differential of 0.5/0.01 M NaCl and light exposure, the device reaches a peak power density of 129 W m-2, outperforming the current market standard by approximately 26-fold. Beyond introducing the idea of photoelectric activity in ionic membranes, our research highlights a potential pathway to cater to the escalating global energy needs.

Abstract
Facilely synthesized peroxidase-like nanozymes with high catalytic activity and stability may serve as effective biocatalysts. The present study synthesizes peroxidase-like nanozymes with multinuclear active sites using two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets and evaluates them for their practical applications. A simple method involving a one-pot bottom-up reflux reaction is developed for the mass synthesis of (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets, significantly increasing production quantity and reducing reaction time compared to traditional autoclave methods. The (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets with the unique coordination of Cu(I) stabilized in Cu-based MOFs demonstrate impressive activity in mimicking natural peroxidase. The active sites of the peroxidase-like activity of (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets were predominantly verified as Cu(I) rather than Cu(II) of other Cu-based MOFs. The cost-effective and long-term stability of (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets make them suitable for practical applications. Furthermore, the inhibition of the peroxidase-like activity of (Cu-S)n MOF nanosheets by glutathione (GSH) could provide a simple strategy for colorimetric detection of GSH against other amino acids. This work remarkably extends the utilization of (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets in biosensing, revealing the potential for 2D (Cu-S)n MOFs.

Abstract
Porous crystalline materials usually include metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) and zeolites, which exhibit exceptional porosity and structural/composition designability, promoting the increasing attention in memory and neuromorphic computing systems in the last decade. From both the perspective of materials and devices, it is crucial to provide a comprehensive and timely summary of the applications of porous crystalline materials in memory and neuromorphic computing systems to guide future research endeavors. Moreover, the utilization of porous crystalline materials in electronics necessitates a shift from powder synthesis to high-quality film preparation to ensure high device performance. This review highlights the strategies for preparing porous crystalline materials films and discusses their advancements in memory and neuromorphic electronics. It also provides a detailed comparative analysis and presents the existing challenges and future research directions, which can attract the experts from various fields (e.g., materials scientists, chemists, and engineers) with the aim of promoting the applications of porous crystalline materials in memory and neuromorphic computing systems.
