Abstract
A one-step protocol for interfacial self-assembly of graphene oxide (GO), glutamine-substituted perylene diimide (PDI-glu), 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA), and zinc acetate into three- and four-component hybrid nanofilms through hydrogen and coordination bonding was developed. The hybrids deposited onto solid supports were studied after polymerization of PCDA by UV-vis absorption, fluorescence, and Raman spectroscopies, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results of spectroscopic studies suggest that the hybrids assembled through H-bonds can maintain the light-induced Förster energy transfer from the PDI-glu chromophore to the conjugated polymer and then to GO leading to fluorescence quenching. In the hybrids assembled through coordination bonding with zinc clusters, the energy transfer proceeds from PDI-glu to the PDA polymer, whereas the transfer from PDA to GO is quenched completely. Another important characteristic of these ultrathin hybrids is their stability with respect to photobleaching of chromophores due to the acceptor properties of GO. The as-assembled hybrid nanofilms were integrated with conventional photovoltaic planar architectures to study their photoelectric properties. The zinc-containing hybrids integrated with a hole transport layer exhibited photovoltaic properties. The cell with the integrated four-component hybrid comprising both PDI-glu and PDA showed a photocurrent/dark current ratio almost an order higher than that of the three-component hybrid assembled with PDA only. The supramolecular method based on the interfacial self-assembly can be extended to a wide variety of organic chromophores and polymerizable surfactants for integrating them into multicomponent functional GO-based nanohybrids with targeted properties for organic electronics.

Abstract
Covalently patterned Janus-functionalized graphene featuring a spatially defined asymmetric bifacial addend binding motif remains a challenging synthetic target. Here, a facile and universal laser writing approach for a one-step covalent Janus patterning of graphene is reported, leading to the formation of up to now elusive graphene architectures, solely consisting of antaratopically functionalized superlattices. The structurally defined covalent functionalization procedure is based on laser-triggered concurrent photolysis of two different photosensitizers situated on both sides of the graphene plane, generating radicals and subsequent addend binding in the laser-irradiated areas only. Careful structure analysis was performed by Raman spectroscopy and Kelvin probe force microscopy. In terms of the advantages of our newly established concept, including a simple/easy-to-operate patterning procedure, arbitrary pattern availability, and a high degree of addend binding, an easy access to tailor-designed Janus-functionalized graphene devices with spatially resolved functional entities can be envisaged.

Abstract
Janus two-dimensional materials (2DMs) are a novel class of 2DMs in which the two faces of the material are either asymmetrically functionalized or are exposed to a different local environment. The diversity of the properties imparted to the two opposing sides enables the design of new multifunctional materials for applications in a broad variety of fields including opto-electronics, energy storage, and catalysis. In this perspective, we summarize the most enlightening experimental methods for the asymmetric chemical functionalization of 2DMs with tailored made (macro)molecules by means of a supratopic binding (one side) or antaratopic binding (two sides) process. We describe the emergence of unique electrical and optical characteristics resulting from the asymmetric dressing of the two surfaces. Representative examples of Janus 2DMs towards bandgap engineering, enhanced photoresponse and photoluminescence are provided. In addition, examples of Janus 2DMs for real applications such as energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors) and generation (photovoltaics), opto-electronics (field-effect transistors and photodetectors), catalysis, drug delivery, self-healing materials, chemical sensors and selective capture and separation of small molecules are also described. Finally, we discuss the future directions, challenges, and opportunities to expand the frontiers of Janus 2DMs towards technologies with potential impact in environmental science and biomedical applications.

Abstract
The anisotropic nature of ‘graphenic’ nanosheets enables them to form stable three-dimensional porous materials. The use of these porous structures has been explored in several applications including electronics and batteries, environmental remediation, energy storage, sensors, catalysis, tissue engineering, and many more. As method of fabrication greatly influences the final pore architecture, and chemical and mechanical characteristics and performance of these porous materials, it is essential to identify and address the correlation between property and function. In this review, we report detailed analyses of the different methods of fabricating porous graphene-based structures – with a focus on graphene oxide as the base material – and relate these with the resultant morphologies, mechanical responses, and common applications of use. We discuss the feasibility of the synthesis approaches and relate the GO concentrations used in each methodology against their corresponding pore sizes to identify the areas not explored to date. Due to their anisotropic nature, graphene nanosheets can be used to form 3-dimensional porous materials using template-free and template-directed methodologies. These fabrication strategies are found to influence the properties of the final structure.![]()

Abstract
Membranes with asymmetric wettability have attracted significant interest by virtue of their unique transport characteristics and functionalities arising from different wetting behaviors of each membrane surface. The cross-sectional wettability distinction enables a membrane to realize directional liquid transport or multifunction integration, resulting in rapid advance in applications, such as moisture management, fog collection, oil-water separation, and membrane distillation. Compared with traditional homogeneous membranes, these membranes possess enhanced transport performance and higher separation efficiency owing to the synergistic or individual effects of asymmetric wettability. This Review covers the recent progress in fabrication, transport mechanisms, and applications of electrospun membranes with asymmetric wettability and provides a perspective on future development in this important area.

Abstract
AbstractCobalt ferrite functionalized chitosan graphene oxide (CoFe2O4@CS@GO) was inserted successfully in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and its distribution was distinguished through scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. Furthermore, the thermal and structural characterizations of the CoFe2O4@CS@GO-PVP nanocomposite were accomplished via the TGA, DSC, FT-IR, and XRD methods. The magnetic characterization of the synthesized nanocomposite was specified by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Results demonstrated the improved thermal stability of pure PVP with the addition of CoFe2O4@CS@GO. The DSC analysis results also showed that the glass transition temperature of 158.9°C–164.8°C was obtained for the CoFe2O4@CS@GO-PVP nanocomposites. The FT-IR spectra indicated that an interaction occurred between CoFe2O4@CS@GO and PVP. Due to a good distribution of CoFe2O4@CS@GO in the PVP matrix, the strong interaction shown by the ~18 cm−1 red shift with good complexation of the carbonyl functional group of PVP with CoFe2O4@CS@GO was observed for the CoFe2O4@CS@GO-PVP (5% w/w) nanocomposite.

Abstract
AbstractJanus particles represent a unique group of patchy particles combining two or more different physical or chemical functionalities at their opposite sides. Especially, individual Janus particles (JPs) with both chemical and geometrical anisotropy as well as their assembled layers provide considerable advantages over the conventional monofunctional particles or surfactant molecules offering (a) a high surface-to-volume ratio; (b) high interfacial activity; (c) target controlling and manipulation of their interfacial activity by external signals such as temperature, light, pH, or ionic strength and achieving switching between stable emulsions and macro-phase separation; (d) recovery and recycling; (e) controlling the mass transport across the interface between the two phases; and finally (f) tunable several functionalities in one particle allowing their use either as carrier materials for immobilized catalytically active substances or, alternatively, their site-selective attachment to substrates keeping another functionality active for further reactions. All these advantages of JPs make them exclusive materials for application in (bio-)catalysis and (bio-)sensing. Considering “green chemistry” aspects covering biogenic materials based on either natural or fully synthetic biocompatible and biodegradable polymers for the design of JPs may solve the problem of toxicity of some existing materials and open new paths for the development of more environmentally friendly and sustainable materials in the very near future. Considering the number of contributions published each year on the topic of Janus particles in general, the number of contributions regarding their environmentally friendly and sustainable applications is by far smaller. This certainly pinpoints an important challenge and is addressed in this review article. The first part of the review focuses on the synthesis of sustainable biogenic or biocompatible Janus particles, as well as strategies for their recovery, recycling, and reusability. The second part addresses recent advances in applications of biogenic/biocompatible and non-biocompatible JPs in environmental and biotechnological fields such as sensing of hazardous pollutants, water decontamination, and hydrogen production. Finally, we provide implications for the rational design of environmentally friendly and sustainable materials based on Janus particles.

Abstract
The dynamic process of synthesizing Janus nanoparticles (JNPs) at a water/oil two-phase interface using a grafting-from reaction is investigated via dissipative particle dynamics simulations. We find that the interfacial tension, the initial monomer concentration, and the reaction probability can greatly influence the microscopic characteristics of JNP structure. It is difficult to synthesize a symmetric JNP with an equal volume ratio between hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts by grafting-from methods unless the physical chemical conditions in the two phases are strictly symmetric, and there is always a disordered domain on the JNP at a two immiscible solvents interface. Interestingly, for certain routes for synthesizing JNPs with a grafting-from method, the higher interfacial tension between the water and oil phases may enhance the degree of disorder of the grafted chains. The asymmetric initial monomer concentration in solution and the reaction probability can be used to control the syntheses of asymmetric JNPs.

Abstract
Biological naïve extracellular matrices (ECMs) exhibit anisotropic functions in their physical, chemical, and morphological properties. Representative examples include anisotropic skin layers or blood vessels simultaneously facing multiphasic environments. Here, anisotropically multifunctional structures called BiFACIAL ( biomimetic freestanding anisotropic catechol- interfaces with asymmetrically layered) films were developed simply by contacting two polysaccharide solutions of heparin-catechol (Hep-C) and chitosan-catechol (Chi-C). Such anisotropic characters were due to controlling catechol cross-linking by alkaline pH, resulting in a trimodular structure: a rigid yet porous Hep-C exterior, nonporous interfacial zone, and soft/highly porous Chi-C interior. The anisotropic features of each layer, including the porosity, rigidity, rheology, composition, and ionic strength, caused the BiFACIAL films to show spontaneously biased stimuli responses and differential behaviors against biological substances (e.g., blood plasma). The films could be created in situ in live animals and imitated the structural/functional aspects of the representative anisotropic tissues (e.g., skin and blood vessels), providing valuable ECM-like platforms for the creation of favorable environments or for tissue regeneration or disease treatment by effectively manipulating cellular behaviors.

Abstract
Janus structures represent an overwhelming member of materials with adaptable chemical and physical properties. Development of new synthesis routes has allowed the fabrication of Janus architectures with specific characteristics depending on the final applications. In the case of the membranes, the improvement of wet routes has been limited to the capillary effect, in which the solution can gradually penetrate through the membrane, avoiding a double modification different at each face of the membrane. In this work, we propose a new electrochemical methodology to circumvent the capillary limitation and obtain a double electrochemical functionalization in only one step in a controlled way. This innovative methodology has been validated using a tridirectional spectroelectrochemistry setup. Moreover, the information provided by this optical arrangement should be especially useful for the study of the different processes (ion transfer, assisted ion transfer, and electron transfer) that can take place at liquid/liquid interfaces. Janus electrochemistry allows us to modify the two faces of a free-standing single-walled carbon nanotube electrode in a single experiment. As proof of concept, the free-standing films have been functionalized with two different conducting polymers, polyaniline and poly(3-hexylthiophene), in one electrochemical experiment. According to the obtained results, this new electrochemical methodology will open new gates for the design and functionalization of Janus materials.

Abstract
Membrane separation of oil and water with high purity and high permeability is of great interest in environmental and industrial processes. However, membranes with fixed wettability can separate only one type of surfactant-stabilized emulsion (water-in-oil or oil-in-water). Here, we report on Janus graphene oxide (J-GO) sponges for high purity and high permeability separation of both water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions. Millimeter-scale reduced GO sponges with a controlled pore size (11.2 or 94.1 μm) are synthesized by freeze drying, and the wettability is further controlled by fluorine (hydrophobic/oleophilic in air) or oxygen (hydrophilic/oleophilic in air) functionalization. J-GO sponges are prepared by the fluorine functionalization on one side and oxygen functionalization on the other side. Interestingly, the oil wettability of oxygen-functionalized surface turns into an oleophobic surface when immersed in water, which is explained by Young's theory. This effect is further used in the separation of both water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions by changing the flow direction. The purity of the separated oil and water is very high (≥99.2%), and the permeability is more than an order of magnitude greater than those of the other Janus membranes reported. J-GO sponges can be reused with an excellent repeatability, demonstrating feasibility in practical applications.

Abstract
2D mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) nanosheets are prepared and exploited as a functional surface for grafting various polymer brushes. The PDA nanosheet and its polymer-brush derivatives show lateral integrity and are robust; therefore, they can be detached from their substrates. Cell-adhesion tests show that the PDA nanosheet promotes cell growth and attachment, while a PDA-based poly(3-sulfopropyl methacrylate) carpet exhibits nonfouling behavior.
