Abstract
The layered 2-D materials, such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), are among the most promising candidates for detecting H2S gas at very low concentrations. Herein, we have designed a series of novel nanocomposites consisting of MoS2 and NiO. These materials were synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method. The microstructure and morphology of nanocomposites were studied using different characterization techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). These nanocomposites were used as gas sensors, and the highest response (6.3) towards 10 ppm H2S was detected by the MNO-10 gas sensor among all the tested sensors. The response value (Rg/Ra) was almost three times that of pure NiO (Rg/Ra = 2). Besides, the MNO-10 sensor exposed good selectivity, short response/recovery time (50/20 s), long-term stability (28 days), reproducibility (6 cycles), and a low detection limit (2 ppm) towards H2S gas at RT. The excellent performance of MNO-10 may be attributed to some features of MoS2, such as a layered structure, higher BET surface area, higher active sites, and a synergistic effect between MoS2 and NiO. This simple fabrication sensor throws a novel idea for detecting H2S gas.

Abstract
Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as promising candidates for optoelectronic devices. In particular, quantum dot light-emitting devices (QLEDs) utilizing QDs as the emission layer offer advantages in terms of simplified fabrication processes. However, the use of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene-sulfonate) as a hole injection layer (HIL) in QLEDs presents limitations due to its acidic and hygroscopic nature. In this study, NiO/ZnS core-shell nanostructures as an alternative HIL were studied. The ZnS shell on NiO nanoparticles effectively suppresses the exciton quenching process and regulates charge transfer in QLEDs. The fabricated QLEDs with NiO/ZnS HIL demonstrate high luminance and current efficiency, highlighting the potential of NiO/ZnS as an inorganic material for highly stable all-inorganic QLEDs.

Abstract
The cost-effective production of chemicals in electrolytic cells and the conversion of the radiation energy into electrical energy in photoelectrochemical cells (PECs) require the use of electrodes with large surface area, which possess either electrocatalytic or photoelectrocatalytic properties. In this context nanostructured semiconductors are electrodic materials of great relevance because of the possibility of varying their photoelectrocatalytic properties in a controlled fashion via doping, dye-sensitization or modification of the conditions of deposition. Among semiconductors for electrolysers and PECs the class of the transition metal oxides (TMOs) with a particular focus on NiO interests for the chemical-physical inertness in ambient conditions and the intrinsic electroactivity in the solid state. The latter aspect implies the existence of capacitive properties in TMO and NiO electrodes which thus act as charge storage systems. After a comparative analysis of the (photo)electrochemical properties of nanostructured TMO electrodes in the configuration of thin film the use of NiO and analogs for the specific applications of water photoelectrolysis and, secondly, photoelectrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide will be discussed.

Abstract
Electrically-transduced sensors, with their simplicity and compatibility with standard electronic technologies, produce signals that can be efficiently acquired, processed, stored, and analyzed. Two dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, including graphene, phosphorene (BP), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), and others, have proven to be attractive for the fabrication of high-performance electrically-transduced chemical sensors due to their remarkable electronic and physical properties originating from their 2D structure. This review highlights the advances in electrically-transduced chemical sensing that rely on 2D materials. The structural components of such sensors are described, and the underlying operating principles for different types of architectures are discussed. The structural features, electronic properties, and surface chemistry of 2D nanostructures that dictate their sensing performance are reviewed. Key advances in the application of 2D materials, from both a historical and analytical perspective, are summarized for four different groups of analytes: gases, volatile compounds, ions, and biomolecules. The sensing performance is discussed in the context of the molecular design, structure-property relationships, and device fabrication technology. The outlook of challenges and opportunities for 2D nanomaterials for the future development of electrically-transduced sensors is also presented.

Abstract
Since the discovery of mechanically exfoliated graphene in 2004, research on ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials has grown exponentially in the fields of condensed matter physics, material science, chemistry, and nanotechnology. Highlighting their compelling physical, chemical, electronic, and optical properties, as well as their various potential applications, in this Review, we summarize the state-of-art progress on the ultrathin 2D nanomaterials with a particular emphasis on their recent advances. First, we introduce the unique advances on ultrathin 2D nanomaterials, followed by the description of their composition and crystal structures. The assortments of their synthetic methods are then summarized, including insights on their advantages and limitations, alongside some recommendations on suitable characterization techniques. We also discuss in detail the utilization of these ultrathin 2D nanomaterials for wide ranges of potential applications among the electronics/optoelectronics, electrocatalysis, batteries, supercapacitors, solar cells, photocatalysis, and sensing platforms. Finally, the challenges and outlooks in this promising field are featured on the basis of its current development.

Abstract
Zn-doped NiO two-dimensional grainy films on glass substrates are shown to be an ammonia-sensing material with excellent comprehensive performance, which could real-time detect and monitor ammonia (NH3) in the surrounding environment. The morphology and structure analysis indicated that the as-fabricated semiconductor films were composed of particles with diameters ranging from 80 to 160 nm, and each particle was composed of small crystalline grain with a narrow size about 20 nm, which was the face-centered cubic single crystal structure. X-ray diffraction peaks shifted toward lower angle, and the size of the lattice increased compared with undoped NiO, which demonstrated that zinc ions have been successfully doped into the NiO host structure. Simultaneously, we systematically investigated the gas-sensing properties of the Zn-doped NiO sensors for NH3 detection at room temperature. The sensor based on doped NiO sensing films gave four to nine times faster response and four to six times faster recovery speeds than those of sensor with undoped NiO films, which is important for the NiO sensor practical applications. Moreover, we found that the doped NiO sensors owned outstanding selectivity toward ammonia.
