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
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are popular for fundamental physics study and technological applications in next-generation electronics, spintronics, and optoelectronic devices due to a wide range of intriguing physical and chemical properties. Recently, the family of 2D metals and 2D semiconductors has been expanding rapidly because they offer properties once unknown to us. One of the challenges to fully access their properties is poor stability in ambient conditions. In the first half of this Review, we briefly summarize common methods of preparing 2D metals and highlight some recent approaches for making air-stable 2D metals. Additionally, we introduce the physicochemical properties of some air-stable 2D metals recently explored. The second half discusses the air stability and oxidation mechanisms of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides and some elemental 2D semiconductors. Their air stability can be enhanced by optimizing growth temperature, substrates, and precursors during 2D material growth to improve material quality, which will be discussed. Other methods, including doping, postgrowth annealing, and encapsulation of insulators that can suppress defects and isolate the encapsulated samples from the ambient environment, will be reviewed.

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
Two-dimensional single crystal metals, in which the behavior of highly confined optical modes is intertwined with quantum phenomena, are highly sought after for next-generation technologies. Here, we report large area (>104 μm2), single crystal two-dimensional gold flakes (2DGFs) with thicknesses down to a single nanometer level, employing an atomic-level precision chemical etching approach. The decrease of the thickness down to such scales leads to the quantization of the electronic states, endowing 2DGFs with quantum-confinement-augmented optical nonlinearity, particularly leading to more than two orders of magnitude enhancement in harmonic generation compared with their thick polycrystalline counterparts. The nanometer-scale thickness and single crystal quality makes 2DGFs a promising platform for realizing plasmonic nanostructures with nanoscale optical confinement. This is demonstrated by patterning 2DGFs into nanoribbon arrays, exhibiting strongly confined near infrared plasmonic resonances with high quality factors. The developed 2DGFs provide an emerging platform for nanophotonic research and open up opportunities for applications in ultrathin plasmonic, optoelectronic and quantum devices.

Abstract
Generally, two-dimensional gold nanomaterials have unique properties and functions that offer exciting application prospects. However, the crystal phases of these materials tend to be limited to the thermodynamically stable crystal structure. Herein, we report a DNA framework-templated approach for the ambient aqueous synthesis of freestanding and microscale amorphous gold nanosheets with ultrathin sub-nanometer thickness. We observe that extended single-stranded DNA on DNA nanosheets can induce site-specific metallization and enable precise modification of the metalized nanostructures at predefined positions. More importantly, the as-prepared gold nanosheets can serve as an electrocatalyst for glucose oxidase-catalyzed aerobic oxidation, exhibiting enhanced electrocatalytic activity (~3-fold) relative to discrete gold nanoclusters owing to a larger electrochemical active area and wider band gap. The proposed DNA framework-templated metallization strategy is expected to be applicable in a broad range of fields, from catalysis to new energy materials.

Abstract
Dirac materials are characterized by the emergence of massless quasiparticles in their low-energy excitation spectrum that obey the Dirac Hamiltonian. Known examples of Dirac materials are topological insulators, d-wave superconductors, graphene, and Weyl and Dirac semimetals, representing a striking range of fundamental properties with potential disruptive applications. However, none of the Dirac materials identified so far shows metallic character. Here, we present evidence for the formation of free-standing molybdenene, a two-dimensional material composed of only Mo atoms. Using MoS2 as a precursor, we induced electric-field-assisted molybdenene growth under microwave irradiation. We observe the formation of millimetre-long whiskers following screw-dislocation growth, consisting of weakly bonded molybdenene sheets, which, upon exfoliation, show metallic character, with an electrical conductivity of ~940 S m-1. Molybdenene when hybridized with two-dimensional h-BN or MoS2, fetch tunable optical and electronic properties. As a proof of principle, we also demonstrate applications of molybdenene as a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy platform for molecular sensing, as a substrate for electron imaging and as a scanning probe microscope cantilever.

Abstract
The synthesis of highly dispersed Au nanoclusters that are stable under elevated temperatures in heterogeneous catalysis is challenging. Here, we directly observe a strong metal-support interaction (SMSI)-induced dispersion of Au nanoparticles (NPs) on α-MoC using an environmentally atomically resolved secondary imaging technique. Under a realistic environment, Au NPs flatten and spread out on the α-MoC to form two-dimensional atomic layered clusters. The formed highly dispersed Au/α-MoC catalyst shows excellent stability at 600 °C for 160 h in the reverse water-gas shift reaction. The X-ray photoelectron spectrum and extended X-ray absorption fine structure results show that Au NPs gradually become low-coordination-number cluster species and lose electrons to become Auδ+; these form chemical bonds with the α-MoC support and are responsible for the dispersion behavior. This work provides an insightful understanding of dispersion behavior and promotes the rational design and synthesis of reverse sintering catalysts.

Abstract
The helical insertion behavior of poly(para-phenylene) (PP) chains into confined cylindrical slits constructed by two carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with different diameters is studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The contribution of system energy and each energy component to helical self-assembly is discussed to further explain the conditions, driving force and mechanism. The width and length of the slit, the diameter of the outer tube and the temperature have a great impact on the helical insertion of PP chains. Two equations are proposed to confirm the diameter and the distances between the PP helix and the inner and outer walls of the given CNTs. The helical self-assembly of PP with different numbers of chains inserted into the slits is further studied. This study has a great benefit in understanding the conformational behavior of polymers, even biological macromolecules in confinements.

Abstract
Confining dual atoms (DAs) within the van der Waals gap of 2D layered materials is expected to expedite the kinetic and energetic strength in catalytic process, yet is a huge challenge in atomic-scale precise assembling DAs within two adjacent layers in the 2D limit. Here, an ingenious approach is proposed to assemble DAs of Ni and Fe into the interlayer of MoS2 . While inheriting the exceptional merits of diatomic species, this interlayer-confined structure arms itself with confinement effect, displaying the more favorable adsorption strength on the confined metal active center and higher catalytic activity towards acidic water splitting, as verified by intensive research efforts of theoretical calculations and experimental measurements. Moreover, the interlayer-confined structure also renders metal DAs a protective shelter to survive in harsh acidic environment. The findings embodied the confinement effects at the atom level, and interlayer-confined assembling of multiple species highlights a general pathway to advance interlayer-confined DAs catalysts within various 2D materials.

Abstract
Controlling the synthesis of metal nanostructures is one approach for catalyst engineering and performance optimization in electrocatalysis. As an emerging class of unconventional electrocatalysts, two-dimensional (2D) metallene electrocatalysts with ultrathin sheet-like morphology have gained ever-growing attention and exhibited superior performance in electrocatalysis owing to their distinctive properties originating from structural anisotropy, rich surface chemistry, and efficient mass diffusion capability. Many significant advances in synthetic methods and electrocatalytic applications for 2D metallenes have been obtained in recent years. Therefore, an in-depth review summarizing the progress in developing 2D metallenes for electrochemical applications is highly needed. Unlike most reported reviews on the 2D metallenes, this review starts by introducing the preparation of 2D metallenes based on the classification of the metals (e.g., noble metals, and non-noble metals) instead of synthetic methods. Some typical strategies for preparing each kind of metal are enumerated in detail. Then, the utilization of 2D metallenes in electrocatalytic applications, especially in the electrocatalytic conversion reactions, including the hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, fuel oxidation reaction, CO2 reduction reaction, and N2 reduction reaction, are comprehensively discussed. Finally, current challenges and opportunities for future research on metallenes in electrochemical energy conversion are proposed.

Abstract
High-performance electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction are of interest in the development of next-generation sustainable hydrogen production systems. Although expensive platinum-group metals have been recognized as the most effective HER catalysts, there is an ongoing requirement for the discovery of cost-effective electrode materials. This paper reveals the prospects of two-dimensional (2D) noble metals, possessing a large surface area and a high density of active sites available for hydrogen proton adsorption, as promising catalytic materials for water splitting. An overview of the synthesis techniques is given. The advantages of wet chemistry approaches for the growth of 2D metals over deposition techniques show the potential for kinetic control that is required as a precondition to prevent isotropic growth. An uncontrolled presence of surfactant-related chemicals on a 2D metal surface is however the main disadvantage of kinetically controlled growth methods, which stimulates the development of surfactant-free synthesis approaches, especially template-assisted 2D metal growth on non-metallic substrates. Recent advances in the growth of 2D metals using a graphenized SiC platform are discussed. The existing works in the field of practical application of 2D noble metals for hydrogen evolution reaction are analyzed. This paper shows the technological viability of the "2D noble metals" concept for designing electrochemical electrodes and their implementation into future hydrogen production systems, thereby providing an inspirational background for further experimental and theoretical studies.

Abstract
The pseudo-two-dimensional (2D) morphology of plate-like metal nanoparticles makes them one of the most anisotropic, mechanistically understood, and tunable structures available. Although well-known for their superior plasmonic properties, recent progress in the 2D growth of various other materials has led to an increasingly diverse family of plate-like metal nanoparticles, giving rise to numerous appealing properties and applications. In this review, we summarize recent progress on the solution-phase growth of colloidal plate-like metal nanoparticles, including plasmonic and other metals, with an emphasis on mechanistic insights for different synthetic strategies, the crystallographic habits of different metals, and the use of nanoplates as scaffolds for the synthesis of other derivative structures. We additionally highlight representative self-assembly techniques and provide a brief overview on the attractive properties and unique versatility benefiting from the 2D morphology. Finally, we share our opinions on the existing challenges and future perspectives for plate-like metal nanomaterials.

Abstract
Photothermal catalysis, as one of the emerging technologies with synergistic effects of photochemistry and thermochemistry, is highly attractive in the fields of environment and energy. Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have received extensive attention toward photothermal catalysis because of their ultrathin layer structures, superior physical and optical properties, and high surface areas. These merits are beneficial for shortening the transfer distance of charge carriers, improving the efficiency of solar to thermal, and providing a great opportunity for the development of photothermal chemistry. In this review, we have summarized the state-of-art advances in various 2D nanomaterials with emphasis on the driving force and relevant mechanism of photothermal catalysis, including the involved three types, namely, localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR), nonradiative relaxation, and thermal vibrations of molecules. Moreover, the synthesis strategies of 2D materials and their photothermal applications in carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion, hydrogen (H2) production, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) degradation, and water (H2O) purification have been discussed in detail. Ultimately, the existing challenges and prospects of future development in the field are proposed. It is believed that this review will afford a great reference for the exploration of the high-efficiency 2D nanomaterials and their structure-activity relationship.

Tripodal Pd metallenes mediated by Nb 2C MXenes for boosting alkynes semihydrogenation. Nat Commun 2023; 14:661.

Abstract
2D metallene nanomaterials have spurred considerable attention in heterogeneous catalysis by virtue of sufficient unsaturated metal atoms, high specific surface area and surface strain. Nevertheless, the strong metallic bonding in nanoparticles aggravates the difficulty in the controllable regulation of the geometry of metallenes. Here we propose an efficient galvanic replacement strategy to construct Pd metallenes loaded on Nb2C MXenes at room temperature, which is triggered by strong metal-support interaction based on MD simulations. The Pd metallenes feature a chair structure of six-membered ring with the coordination number of Pd as low as 3. Coverage-dependent kinetic analysis based on first-principles calculations reveals that the tripodal Pd metallenes promote the diffusion of alkene and inhibit its overhydrogenation. As a consequence, Pd/Nb2C delivers an outstanding turnover frequency of 10372 h-1 and a high selectivity of 96% at 25 oC in the semihydrogenation of alkynes without compromising the stability. This strategy is general and scalable considering the plentiful members of the MXene family, which can set a foundation for the design of novel supported-metallene catalysts for demanding transformations.

Abstract
In light of their unique physicochemical properties two-dimensional metals are of interest in the development of next-generation sustainable sensing and catalytic applications. Here we showcase results of the investigation of the substrate effect on the formation and the catalytic activity of representative 2D gold layers supported by non-graphenized and graphenized SiC substrates. By performing comprehensive density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we revealed the epitaxial alignment of gold monolayer with the underlying SiC substrate, regardless of the presence of zero-layer graphene or epitaxial graphene. This is explained by a strong binding energy (∼4.7 eV) of 2D Au/SiC and a pronounced charge transfer at the interface, which create preconditions for the penetration of the related electric attraction through graphene layers. We then link the changes in catalytic activity of substrate-supported 2D Au layer in hydrogen evolution reaction to the formation of a charge accumulation region above graphenized layers. Gold intercalation beneath zero-layer graphene followed by its transformation to quasi-free-standing epitaxial graphene is found to be an effective approach to tune the interfacial charge transfer and catalytic activity of 2D Au. The sensing potential of substrate-supported 2D Au was also tested through exploring the adsorption behaviour of NH3, NO2 and NO gas molecules. The present results can be helpful for the experimental design of substrate-supported 2D Au layers with targeted catalytic activity and sensing performance.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) gold nanoplates (AuNPLs) have shown potential in catalysis, photonics, electronics, sensing, and biomedicine fields due to their high aspect ratio, fascinating surface chemistry, and quantum-size effect. Therefore, the synthesis of substrate-free, size-controlled single-crystal gold (Au) nanoplates is highly desirable for the development of catalysis and optical near-field enhancement applications. EDTA and hydroxide anions were used in this study to stimulate the formation of microscale single-crystal gold nanoplates under hydrothermal conditions. The reaction temperature, amount of EDTA, and hydroxyl anions all have a significant effect on the morphologies and size distributions of the gold nanoplates. The gold nanoplates had an average side length of between 3 and 11 μm. The application of the microscale single-crystal gold nanoplates as a nanocatalyst proved their excellent catalytic activity and recyclability for the catalysis of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol, implying that the large-size gold nanoplates were promising in heterogeneous catalysis applications.

Abstract
Aerobic oxidation of benzylic C(sp3)-H bonds in a green and heterogeneous manner is a major target in organic catalysis. Herein, we report the synthesis of 3D coordination polymers containing [Co5(OH)6]4+ layers, affording reusable and efficient oxidation of ethylbenezene and tetralin by using O2 as the oxidant. Moreover, the cleavage of CoII-carboxylate bonding renders atomically thin cobaltate nanosheets and enhanced catalytic performance. This is one of the top catalytic performances for CoII-catalyzed benzylic C(sp3)-H oxidation (∼0.02 mol% Co and 76% conversion for nanosheets), ascribed to the exposed, accessible and coordinatively unsaturated CoII species.

Abstract
Xenes, i.e., monoelemental two-dimensional atomic sheets, are promising for sensitive and ultrafast sensor applications owing to exceptional carrier mobility; however, most of them oxidize below 500 °C and therefore cannot be employed for high-temperature applications. 2D gold, an oxidation-resistant plasmonic Xene, is extremely promising. 2D gold was experimentally realized by both atomic layer deposition and chemical synthesis using sodium citrate. However, it is imperative to develop a new facile single-step method to synthesize 2D gold. Here, liquid-phase synthesis of 2D gold is demonstrated by microwave exposure to auric chloride dispersed in dimethylformamide. Microscopies (AFM and high-resolution TEM), spectroscopies (Raman, UV-vis, and X-ray photoelectron), and X-ray diffraction establish the formation of a hexagonal crystallographic phase for 2D gold. 2D-2D hybrids of 2D gold have also been synthesized and investigated for electronic/optoelectronic behaviors and SERS-based molecular sensing. DFT band structure calculation for 2D gold and its hybrids corroborates the experimental findings.

Abstract
Confined nanospaces provide a new platform to promote catalytic reactions. However, the mechanism of catalytic enhancement in the nanospace still requires insightful exploration due to the lack of direct visualization. Here, we report operando investigations on the etching and growth of graphene in a two-dimensional (2D) confined space between graphene and a Cu substrate. We observed that the graphene layer between the Cu and top graphene layer was surprisingly very active in etching (more than 10 times faster than the etching of the top graphene layer). More strikingly, at a relatively low temperature (∼530 °C), the etched carbon radicals dissociated from the bottom layer, in turn feeding the growth of the top graphene layer with a very high efficiency. Our findings reveal the in situ dynamics of the anomalous confined catalytic processes in 2D confined spaces and thus pave the way for the design of high-efficiency catalysts.

Abstract
We precisely synthesized two-dimensional (2D) PtPdCu nanostructures with the morphology varying from porous circular nanodisks (CNDs) and triangular nanoplates (TNPs) to triangular nanoboomerangs (TNBs) by tuning the molar ratios of metal precursors. The PtPdCu trimetallic nanoalloys exhibit superior electrocatalytic performances to alcohol oxidation reactions due to their unique structural features and the synergistic effect. Impressively, PtPdCu TNBs exhibit a high mass activity of 3.42 mgPt+Pd-1 and 1.06 A·mgPt-1 for ethanol and methanol oxidation compared to PtPd, PtCu, and pure Pt, which is 3.93 and 4.07 times that of commercial Pt/C catalysts, respectively. Moreover, 2D PtPdCu TNPs and PtPdCu CNDs also show a highly improved electrocatalytic activity. Furthermore, as all-in-one electrocatalysts, PtPdCu nanoalloys display excellent electrocatalytic activity and stability toward the oxidation of other alcohol molecules, such as isopropyl alcohol, glycerol, and ethylene glycol. The enhanced mechanism was well proposed to be the abundant active sites and upshifted d-band center based on density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
Nanomaterials (NMs) with unique structures and compositions can give rise to exotic physicochemical properties and applications. Despite the advancement in solution-based methods, scalable access to a wide range of crystal phases and intricate compositions is still challenging. Solid-state reaction (SSR) syntheses have high potential owing to their flexibility toward multielemental phases under feasibly high temperatures and solvent-free conditions as well as their scalability and simplicity. Controlling the nanoscale features through SSRs demands a strategic nanospace-confinement approach due to the risk of heat-induced reshaping and sintering. Here, we describe advanced SSR strategies for NM synthesis, focusing on mechanistic insights, novel nanoscale phenomena, and underlying principles using a series of examples under different categories. After introducing the history of classical SSRs, key theories, and definitions central to the topic, we categorize various modern SSR strategies based on the surrounding solid-state media used for nanostructure growth, conversion, and migration under nanospace or dimensional confinement. This comprehensive review will advance the quest for new materials design, synthesis, and applications.

Abstract
Coating a second metal on the surface of ultrathin 2D nanosheets (NSs) could induce lattice strain and modify the electronic structure, thereby changing the surface reactivity. Herein, we report the effects of different crystal phases of Ru on the electrocatalytic performance of ultrathin Ru@Pt core-shell NSs for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Importantly, Ru with a novel face-centered-cubic phase was found to have more effect on the electronic structure of Pt than Ru with a conventional hexagonal close-packed phase, thereby leading to improved electrocatalytic activity toward the MOR under acidic and basic conditions. It is believed that the strategy presented here would offer a new approach to the construction of bimetallic core-shell nanostructures with various promising applications.

Abstract
Noble metal nanozymes have shown great promise in biomedicine; however, developing novel and high-performance noble metal nanozymes is still highly pressing and challenging. Herein, we, for the first time, prepared two-dimensional (2D) Pd@Ir bimetal nanosheets (NSs) with well-defined size and composition by a facile seed-mediated growth strategy. Enzyme-mimicked investigations find that the Pd@Ir NSs possess oxidase (OXD)-, peroxidase (POD)-, and catalase (CAT)-like multienzyme-mimetic activities. Especially, they exhibited much higher OXD- and POD-like activities than individual Pd NSs and Ir nanoparticles (NPs). The density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the adsorption energy of O2 on Pd@Ir NSs is lower than that on the pure Pd NSs, which is more favorable for the conversion of O2 molecules from the triplet state (3O2) into the singlet state (1O2). Finally, based on the outstanding nanozyme activities to yield highly active singlet oxygen (1O2) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH) as well as excellent biosafety, the as-prepared Pd@Ir NSs were applied to treat bacteria-infected wounds, and satisfactory therapeutic outcomes were achieved. We believe that the highly efficient 2D Pd@Ir nanozyme will be an effective therapeutic reagent for various biomedical applications.

Abstract
Monitoring the liver status in a convenient and low-cost way is significant for obtaining a warning about drug-indued liver diseases promptly. Herein, we designed a novel colorimetric point-of-care (POC) platform for the determination of three liver-related biomarkers─aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). This platform integrated agarose hydrogels into a portable device, where hydrogels were loaded with nanozymes and different reaction substances for triggering specific reactions and generating colorimetric signals. Typically, Au-decorated CoAl-layered double oxide (Au/LDO) was for the first time developed as the nanozyme with peroxidase (POD) mimic activity, which can accelerate the oxidation of colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue oxTMB with the coexistence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The detection mechanism of AST and ALT is based on the fact that they can cause individual cascade reactions to generate H2O2, and H2O2 further activates the Au/LDO nanozyme to catalyze the chromogenic reaction of TMB. As for ALP, it can catalytically hydrolyze l-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate to ascorbic acid. The latter then discolored the oxTMB that was produced with the assistance of Au/LDO. Teaming up with a smartphone, the color information of hydrogels can be converted to hue values, which allow quantitative analysis of ALT, AST, and ALP with detection limits of 15, 10, and 5 U/L, respectively. Moreover, the simple and cost-effective platform was successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of the three analytes in human plasma. Additionally, since the hydrogel is disposable and can be replaced by new ones loaded with different reaction regents, the platform is expected to serve the POC testing of various chem/bio targets.

Abstract
Supported single-metal atom catalysts (SACs) are constituted of isolated active metal centers, which are heterogenized on inert supports such as graphene, porous carbon, and metal oxides. Their thermal stability, electronic properties, and catalytic activities can be controlled via interactions between the single-metal atom center and neighboring heteroatoms such as nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. Due to the atomic dispersion of the active catalytic centers, the amount of metal required for catalysis can be decreased, thus offering new possibilities to control the selectivity of a given transformation as well as to improve catalyst turnover frequencies and turnover numbers. This review aims to comprehensively summarize the synthesis of Fe-SACs with a focus on anchoring single atoms (SA) on carbon/graphene supports. The characterization of these advanced materials using various spectroscopic techniques and their applications in diverse research areas are described. When applicable, mechanistic investigations conducted to understand the specific behavior of Fe-SACs-based catalysts are highlighted, including the use of theoretical models.

Abstract
Elemental two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as promising candidates for energy and catalysis applications due to their unique physical, chemical, and electronic properties. These materials are advantageous in offering massive surface-to-volume ratios, favorable transport properties, intriguing physicochemical properties, and confinement effects resulting from the 2D ultrathin structure. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in emerging energy and catalysis applications based on beyond-graphene elemental 2D materials.

Abstract
As the lightest solid element and also the simplest metal, lithium (Li) is one of the best representations of quasi-free electron model in both bulk form and the reduced dimensions. Herein, the controlled growth of 2D ultrathin Li nanosheets is demonstrated by utilizing an in situ electrochemical platform built inside transmission electron microscope (TEM). The as-grown freestanding 2D Li nanosheets have strong structure-anisotropy with large lateral dimensions up to several hundreds of nanometers and thickness limited to just a few nanometers. The nanoscale dynamics of nanosheets growth are unraveled by in situ TEM imaging in real-time. Further density-functional theory calculations indicate that oxygen molecules play an important role in directing the anisotropic 2D growth of Li nanosheets through controlling the growth kinetics by their facet-specific capping. The plasmonic optical properties of the as-grown Li nanosheets are probed by cathodoluminescence spectroscopy equipped within TEM, and a broadband visible emission is observed that contains contributions of both in-plane and out-of-plane plasmon resonance modes.

Abstract
N-doped carbon materials represent a type of metal-free catalyst for diverse organic synthetic reactions. However, single N-doped carbon materials perform insufficiently in the selective oxidation reaction of C-H bond compared with metal catalysts or multielement co-doped materials. There are a few reports on the application of three-dimensional (3D) carbon materials in such a reaction. Besides, the relationship between the well-developed porous structures, heteroatom doping, and their catalytic performance is unclear. In this study, 3D porous N-doped graphene aerogel catalysts with high activity and selectivity for the C-H bond oxidation under mild reaction conditions have been synthesized through a two-step method. Systematic studies on the dosage of N sources, pyrolysis temperature, and their influences on the catalytic performances have been evolved. Moreover, solid evidence of the synergistic effect of sp2 C atoms adjacent to the N atoms and porous structure promoting the performance has been provided in this work.

Abstract
The importance of the "heterogeneity" of a Pd monolayer induced by interaction with a semi-ionic support in catalysis was evaluated. The geometry of the Pd monolayer was optimized on the (100) plane of γ-Al2O3 at fixed unit cell parameters defined by the oxide. Simulation of the deposition of a whole Pd monolayer in the flat Pd(100) form cut from the bulk led to the formation of a slightly distorted Pd(111) monolayer. The subsequent chemisorption or dissociation of CH4 or H2O on the Pd(111) layer resulted in a new hybrid Pd(100)/(111) structure containing alternating elements of (100) and (111) planes (the parallel bands of squares and triangles), which are similar for both CH4 and H2O reactions, and two isolated Pd mono-vacancies, respectively. The hybrid Pd(100)/(111) layer without chemisorbed species was found to be more stable than the initial distorted Pd(111) layer. The catalytic capabilities of these monolayer structures were investigated for the dissociation of methane and the water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) due to the lower predicted activation barriers for CH4, H2O, and O2 dissociation on the hybrid Pd(100)/(111) layer compared to that on the pure (bulk) Pd(100) surface. Moreover, the exothermic heats of these reactions were calculated to be moderate instead of endothermic heats on the Pd(100) or Pd(111) surfaces. The heats of H2O and NH3 adsorption on various monolayers were tested, revealing their dependence on Pd atomic charges. The relevance of the model of the heterogeneous Pd monolayer for explaining the maximum reaction rate experimentally observed at different Pd coverages was discussed. The transferability of the geometry and the extent of charge inhomogeneity of the hybrid monolayer without vacancies were also tested on the same γ-Al2O3(100) support for Pt, Rh, and Ag.

Abstract
Gold (Au), a transition metal with an atomic number of 79 in the periodic table of elements, was discovered in approximately 3000 B.C. Due to the ultrahigh chemical stability and brilliant golden color, Au had long been thought to be a most inert material and was widely utilized in art, jewelry, and finance. However, it has been found that Au becomes exceptionally active as a catalyst when its size shrinks to the nanometer scale. With continuous efforts toward the exploration of catalytic applications over the past decades, Au nanomaterials show critical importance in many catalytic processes. Besides catalysis, Au nanomaterials also possess other promising applications in plasmonics, sensing, biology and medicine, due to their unique localized surface plasmon resonance, intriguing biocompatibility, and superior stability. Unfortunately, the practical applications of Au nanomaterials could be limited because of the scarce reserves and high price of Au. Therefore, it is quite essential to further explore novel physicochemical properties and functions of Au nanomaterials so as to enhance their performance in different types of applications.Recently, phase engineering of nanomaterials (PEN), which involves the rearrangement of atoms in the unit cell, has emerged as a fantastic and effective strategy to adjust the intrinsic physicochemical properties of nanomaterials. In this Account, we give an overview of the recent progress on crystal phase control of Au nanomaterials using wet-chemical synthesis. Starting from a brief introduction of the research background, we first describe the development history of wet-chemical synthesis of Au nanomaterials and especially emphasize the key research findings. Subsequently, we introduce the typical Au nanomaterials with untraditional crystal phases and heterophases that have been observed, such as 2H, 4H, body-centered phases, and crystal-phase heterostructures. Importantly, crystal phase control of Au nanomaterials by wet-chemical synthesis is systematically described. After that, we highlight the importance of crystal phase control in Au nanomaterials by demonstrating the remarkable effect of crystal phases on their physicochemical properties (e.g., electronic and optical properties) and potential applications (e.g., catalysis). Finally, after a concise summary of recent advances in this emerging research field, some personal perspectives are provided on the challenges, opportunities, and research directions in the future.

Abstract
Fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) have drawn significant attention due to their variable species and intriguing optical properties; however, spectrally tuning the fluorescence color of CDs, especially in a long-wavelength region, is still a challenge. In this study, CDs were synthesized through the hydrothermal reaction of 2,5-diaminobenzenesulfonate (DBS) and dodecyl sulfate (DS) in the confined interlayer space of layered double hydroxides (LDHs). Particularly, the emission color of the obtained CD/LDH phosphors could be spectrally tuned from greenish-yellow (λem = 537 nm) to red (λem = 597 nm) by simply changing the molar ratio of the intercalated DBS and DS. Through the detailed characterization of different interlayer CDs by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), a new route of modulating the absorption and emission wavelengths of CDs by regulating the content of graphitic nitrogen during heteroatom doping is presented. In addition, the stabilities of the solid-state luminescence against UV bleaching and temperature variation were improved by the rigid 2-dimensional (2D) LDH matrix, and prospective applications of the proposed CD/LDH phosphors were demonstrated in multicolour displays and in the fabrication of white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs).

Abstract
Monitoring harmful and toxic chemicals, gases, microorganisms, and radiation has been a challenge to the scientific community for the betterment of human health and environment. Two-dimensional (2D)-material-based sensors are highly efficient and compatible with modern fabrication technology, which yield data that can be proficiently used for health and environmental monitoring. Graphene and its oxides, black phosphorus (BP), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), metal oxides, and other 2D nanomaterials have demonstrated properties that have been alluring for the manufacture of highly sensitive sensors due to their unique material properties arising from their inherent structures. This review summarizes the properties of 2D nanomaterials that can provide a platform to develop high-performance sensors. In this review, we have also discussed the advances made in the field of infrared photodetectors and electrochemical sensors and how the structural properties of 2D nanomaterials affect sensitivity and performance. Further, this review highlights 2D-nanomaterial-based electrochemical sensors that can be used to check for contaminations from heavy metals, organic/inorganic compounds, poisonous gases, pesticides, bacteria, antibiotics, etc., in water or air, which are severe risks to human wellbeing as well as the environment. Moreover, the limitations, future prospects, and challenges for the development of sensors based on 2D materials are also discussed for future advancements.
