Abstract
Over the past decade, two-dimensional (2D) layered semiconducting materials, with their distinctive structures and unique physicochemical properties, have attracted attention for potential applications in photonics and optoelectronics. In this study, we utilized time-domain broadband Brillouin scattering on a single germanium monosulfide (GeS) crystal to determine the out-of-plane longitudinal sound speed, evaluated at vL = (4035 ± 200) m/s. The reported results demonstrate the effectiveness of this nondestructive, all-optical technique for measuring the elastic properties in fragile 2D layered materials and provide the value of the out-of-plane compressive elastic constant, C = (69 ± 7) GPa.

[PMID: 38668475 PMCID: PMC11054868 DOI: 10.3390/toxics12040252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 03/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
In this work, the synthesis and structural, thermal, vibrational, morphological, and electronic characterization of 2D-like pure graphene oxide (GO) and phosphorus-containing graphene oxide (GOP) sheets were investigated. The average thicknesses of GO and GOP were 0.8 μm and 3.1 μm, respectively. The electron energy-loss spectroscopy spectra were used to analyze the differences in the C-K and O-K energy edge bands between GO and GOP. In addition, colloidal stability was studied using dynamic light scattering and zeta potential physicochemical techniques, determining that as the concentration increases, the hydrodynamic diameter and electrostatic stability of GO and GOP increase. The colloidal stability was quite important to ensure the interaction between the suspended solid phase and the biomarker. The 2D-like materials were used to determine their ecotoxicological properties, such as the medium lethal concentration, a crucial parameter for understanding ecotoxicity. Acute ecotoxicity experiments (24 h) were conducted in triplicate to obtain robust statistics, with corresponding mean lethal concentration (LC50) of 11.4 mg L-1 and 9.8 mg L-1 for GO and GOP, respectively. The morphological parameters of GO and GOP were compared with a negative control. However, only the case of GO was analyzed, since the Daphnia magna (D. magna) set exposed to GOP died before completing the time required for morphological analysis. The results indicate that the GOP sample is more toxic than the GO, both during and after exposure. Furthermore, the morphological parameters with the greatest statistically significant changes (p<0.05) were associated with the heart and body, while the eye and tail showed less significant changes.

Abstract
Nanomaterials-based gas sensors are widely applied for the monitoring and fast detection of hazardous gases owing to their sensitivity and selectivity. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), hydrogen fluoride (HF), ammonia (NH3), and carbon monoxide/dioxide (CO/CO2) produced from petroleum fields, sewage, mines, and gasoline are harmful for both human life and environment. With an increase in the emission of these toxic compounds, their real-time monitoring and efficient adsorbent application and storage are very necessary. To this end, we investigated the adsorption characteristic and sensitivity factor of these five toxic gases on armchair and zigzag hybrid boron-carbon-nitride (BCN) nanoribbons with/without boron-rich (B-rich) defects using first principle calculation, where 25%, 33%, and 50% carbon concentration were considered. Our findings reveal that B-rich nanoribbons have strong adsorption energy, charge transfer, and structural deformation owing to the double acceptor of B-rich defects. Moreover, the zigzag and armchair forms of these hybrid BCN nanoribbons show physical adsorption, altering their band gap and phase transition after adsorbing these toxic gases, where B-rich nanoribbons possess high sensitivity to NH3 and CO among other gases. Furthermore, B-rich hybrid nanoribbons have higher CO2 adsorption energy than the standard free energy of CO2 at room temperature. This study suggests that hybrid BCN nanoribbons and B-rich defected structures can be good candidates for the uptake and storage of toxic gases, helping experimental groups to design efficient ambient gas sensors.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are specific brain disorders characterized by the progressive deterioration of different motor activities as well as several cognitive functions. Current conventional therapeutic options for NDDs are limited in addressing underlying causes, delivering drugs to specific neuronal targets, and promoting tissue repair following brain injury. Due to the paucity of plausible theranostic options for NDDs, nanobiotechnology has emerged as a promising field, offering an interdisciplinary approach to create nanomaterials with high diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy for these diseases. Recently, two-dimensional nanomaterials (2D-NMs) have gained significant attention in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications due to their precise drug-loading capabilities, controlled release mechanisms, enhanced stability, improved biodegradability, and reduced cell toxicity. Although various studies have explored the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of different nanomaterials in NDDs, there is a lack of comprehensive review addressing the theranostic applications of 2D-NMs in these neuronal disorders. Therefore, this concise review aims to provide a state-of-the-art understanding of the need for these ultrathin 2D-NMs and their potential applications in biosensing and bioimaging, targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine for NDDs.

Abstract
Two-dimensional nanomaterials (2D NMs), consisting of atoms or a near-atomic thickness with infinite transverse dimensions, possess unique structures, excellent physical properties, and tunable surface chemistry. They exhibit significant potential for development in the fields of sensing, renewable energy, and catalysis. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the latest research findings on the preparation and application of 2D NMs. First, the article introduces the common synthesis methods of 2D NMs from both "top-down" and "bottom-up" perspectives, including mechanical exfoliation, ultrasonic-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation, ion intercalation, chemical vapor deposition, and hydrothermal techniques. In terms of the applications of 2D NMs, this study focuses on their potential in gas sensing, lithium-ion batteries, photodetection, electromagnetic wave absorption, photocatalysis, and electrocatalysis. Additionally, based on existing research, the article looks forward to the future development trends and possible challenges of 2D NMs. The significance of this work lies in its systematic summary of the recent advancements in the preparation methods and applications of 2D NMs.

Abstract
Imidacloprid (IMI) is a systemic insecticide, which is widely used for seed treatment and pest control in vegetables. The unwarranted presence of traces of IMI in vegetables and groundwater is a matter of grave concern which needs to be detected and quantified in order to effect remedial measures for the sake of food safety. In this work, we communicate the fabrication of tungsten sulfide (WS2) nanosheets and the construction of an amperometric sensor for the precise determination of IMI. The sensor performances were evaluated by using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The presence of surface-active sites and the fast electron transfer on WS2/GCE favored the electrochemical reduction of the aromatic nitro group in IMI. The developed IMI sensor displayed a linear range of IMI detection from 10 to 90 μM with a detection limit of 0.28 μM. The developed WS2/GCE sensor also displayed good sensitivity, with a value of 3.98 μA μM-1 cm-2. The electrochemical measurements demonstrated the superior selectivity of the constructed WS2/GCE sensor for IMI detection, which makes it suitable for practical applications.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskites have been attracting great attention due to their outstanding properties and have been utilized for a wide variety of applications. However, the high toxicity of lead promotes an urgent and necessary search for alternative nanomaterials. In this perspective, the emerging lead-free perovskites are an environmentally friendly and harmless option. The present work reports for the first time gas sensors based on lead-free perovskite nanocrystals supported on graphene, which acts as a transducing element owing to its high and efficient carrier transport properties. The use of nanocrystals enables achieving excellent sensitivity toward gas compounds and presents better properties than those of bulky perovskite thin films, owing to their quantum confinement effect and exciton binding energy. Specifically, an industrially scalable, facile, and inexpensive synthesis is proposed to support two different perovskites (Cs3CuBr5 and Cs2AgBiBr6) on graphene for effectively detecting a variety of harmful pollutants below the threshold limit values. H2 and H2S gases were detected for the first time by utilizing lead-free perovskites, and ultrasensitive detection of NO2 was also achieved at room temperature. In addition, the band-gap type, defect tolerance, and electronic surface traps at the nanocrystals were studied in detail for understanding the differences in the sensing performance observed. Finally, a comprehensive sensing mechanism is proposed.

Abstract
The fabrication of van der Waals (vdWs) heterostructures mainly extends to two-dimensional (2D) materials. Nevertheless, the current processes for obtaining high-quality 2D films are mainly exfoliated from their bulk counterparts or by high-temperature chemical vapor deposition (CVD), which limits industrial production and is often accompanied by defects. Herein, we first fabricated the type-II p-PdSe2/n-InSe vdWs heterostructure using the ultra-high vacuum laser molecular beam epitaxy (LMBE) technique combined with the vertical 2D stacking strategy, which is reproducible and suitable for high-volume manufacturing. This work found that the introduction of 365 nm UV light illumination can significantly improve the electrical transport properties and NO2 sensing performance of the PdSe2/InSe heterojunction-based device at room temperature (RT). The detailed studies confirm that the sensor based on the PdSe2/InSe heterojunction delivers the comparable sensitivity (Ra/Rg = ∼2.6 at 10 ppm), a low limit of detection of 52 ppb, and excellent selectivity for NO2 gas under UV light illumination, indicating great potential for NO2 detection. Notably, the sensor possesses fast response and full recovery properties (275/1078 s) compared to the results in the dark. Furthermore, the mechanism of enhanced gas sensitivity was proposed based on the energy band alignment of the PdSe2/InSe heterojunction with the assistance of investigating the surface potential variations. This work may pave the way for the development of high-performance, room-temperature gas sensors based on 2D vdWs heterostructures through the LMBE technique.

Abstract
In gas sensors composed of semiconductor metal oxides and two-dimensional materials, the gas-sensitive material is deposited or coated on a metallic signal electrode and must be selective and responsive at a specific temperature. The microelectromechanical devices hosting this material must keep it at the correct operating temperature using a micro-hotplate robust to high temperatures. In this study, three hotplate designs were investigated: electrodes arranged on both sides of an AlN substrate, a micro-hotplate buried in an alumina ceramic substrate, and a beam structure formed using laser punching. The last two designs use magnetron-sputtered ultra-thin AlN films to separate the upper Au interdigital electrodes and lower Pt heating resistor in a sandwich-like structure. The temperature distribution is simulated by the Joule heat model, and the third design has better energy consumption performance. This design was fabricated, and the effect of the rough surface of the alumina ceramic on the preparation was addressed. The experimental results show that the micro-hotplate can operate at nearly 700 °C. The micro-hotplate heats to nearly 240 °C in 2.4 s using a power of ~340 mW. This design makes ceramic-based micro-hotplates a more practical alternative to silicon-based micro-hotplates in gas sensors.

Abstract
Two-dimensional materials with excellent surface-volume ratios and massive reaction sites recently have been receiving attention for gas sensing. With first-principles calculations, we explored the performance of monolayer Sc2CF2 as a gas sensor. We investigated how molecule adsorption affects its electronic structure and optical properties. It is found that a large charge transfer quantity happens between Sc2CF2 and NO2, which results from the fact that the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of NO2 is below the valence band maximum (VBM) of Sc2CF2. Moreover, the MD simulation shows that NO2 can adsorb on the Sc2CF2 surface stably at room temperature. We explored the effect of biaxial strain on the adsorption energy and charge transfer quantity of each system, and the results show that the biaxial strain can enhance both the adsorption energy and charge transfer quantity of the NO2 system and thus can improve the sensitivity of Sc2CF2 in detecting the NO2 molecule. Furthermore, we investigated the adsorption behavior and charge transfer of polar polyatomic molecules at the Sc2CF2 surface with h-BN as a substrate, and the results demonstrate that the h-BN substrate can hardly modify the main results. Our result predicts that Sc2CF2 can be a promising selective and sensitive sensor to detect the NO2 molecule, and could also give a theoretical guide for other terminated MXenes used for gas sensors or detectors.

Abstract
In this paper, nanostructured molybdenum selenide (MoSe2) with composited phases are synthesized by hydrothermal method, and the products are modified by metal anoparticles to improve the gas sensing performance. Microstructure characterization shows that few layered 1T/2H-MoSe2nanosheets have been successfully prepared. Both the morphology and component of nanosheets could be tuned by the reaction parameters. It is shown the MoSe2-based nanomaterials have excellent selectivity to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) according to gas sensing properties measurement. The sensitivity of 1T/2H-MoSe2nanosheets modified by Cu nanoparticles is 17.73 (50 ppm NO2) at the optimal operating temperature, which is the highest compared with other samples. The sensors also exhibit rapid response/recovery time and high stability. The sensing mechanism of MoSe2nanosheets toward NO2is investigated based on the first-principles calculation. The results suggest the modification by metal nanoparticles could significantly improve the adsorption energy and charge transfer between gas molecule and MoSe2. This work demonstrates a promising guidance for the design of new NO2gas sensing materials and devices.

Abstract
The intrinsic and electronic properties of elemental two-dimensional (2D) materials beyond graphene are first introduced in this review. Then the studies concerning the application of gas sensing using these 2D materials are comprehensively reviewed. On the whole, the carbon-, nitrogen-, and sulfur-based gases could be effectively detected by using most of them. For the sensing of organic vapors, the borophene, phosphorene, and arsenene may perform it well. Moreover, the G-series nerve agents might be efficiently monitored by the bismuthene. So far, there is still challenge on the material preparation due to the instability of these 2D materials under atmosphere. The synthesis or growth of materials integrated with the technique of surface protection should be associated with the device fabrication to establish a complete process for particular application. This review provides a complete and methodical guideline for scientists to further research and develop the hazardous gas sensors of these 2D materials in order to achieve the purpose of environmental protection.

Abstract
Graphene turns out to be the pioneering material for setting up boulevard to a new zoo of recently proposed carbon based novel two dimensional (2D) analogues. It is evident that their electronic, optical and other related properties are utterly different from that of graphene because of the distinct intriguing morphology. For instance, the revolutionary emergence of Dirac cones in graphene is particularly hard to find in most of the other 2D materials. As a consequence the crystal symmetries indeed act as a major role for predicting electronic band structure. Since tight binding calculations have become an indispensable tool in electronic band structure calculation, we indicate the implication of such method in graphene's allotropes beyond hexagonal symmetry. It is to be noted that some of these graphene allotropes successfully overcome the inherent drawback of the zero band gap nature of graphene. As a result, these 2D nanomaterials exhibit great potential in a broad spectrum of applications, viz nanoelectronics, nanooptics, gas sensors, gas storages, catalysis, and other specific applications. The miniaturization of high performance graphene allotrope based gas sensors to microscopic or even nanosized range has also been critically discussed. In addition, various optical properties like the dielectric functions, optical conductivity, electron energy loss spectra reveal that these systems can be used in opto-electronic devices. Nonetheless, the honeycomb lattice of graphene is not superconducting. However, it is proposed that the tetragonal form of graphene can be intruded to form new hybrid 2D materials to achieve novel superconducting device at attainable conditions. These dynamic experimental prospects demand further functionalization of these systems to enhance the efficiency and the field of multifunctionality. This topical review aims to highlight the latest advances in carbon based 2D materials beyond graphene from the basic theoretical as well as future application perspectives.

Abstract
To date, nanotechnology has increasingly been identified as a promising and efficient means to address a number of challenges associated with public health. In the past decade, two-dimensional (2D) biomaterials, as a unique nanoplatform with planar topology, have attracted explosive interest in various fields such as biomedicine due to their unique morphology, physicochemical properties and biological effect. Motivated by the progress of graphene in biomedicine, dozens of types of ultrathin 2D biomaterials have found versatile bio-applications, including biosensing, biomedical imaging, delivery of therapeutic agents, cancer theranostics, tissue engineering, as well as others. The effective utilization of 2D biomaterials stems from the in-depth knowledge of structure-property-bioactivity-biosafety-application-performance relationships. A comprehensive summary of 2D biomaterials for biomedicine is still lacking. In this comprehensive review, we aim to concentrate on the state-of-the-art 2D biomaterials with a particular focus on their versatile biomedical applications. In particular, we discuss the design, fabrication and functionalization of 2D biomaterials used for diverse biomedical applications based on the up-to-date progress. Furthermore, the interactions between 2D biomaterials and biological systems on the spatial-temporal scale are highlighted, which will deepen the understanding of the underlying action mechanism of 2D biomaterials aiding their design with improved functionalities. Finally, taking the bench-to-bedside as a focus, we conclude this review by proposing the current crucial issues/challenges and presenting the future development directions to advance the clinical translation of these emerging 2D biomaterials.

Abstract
As a direct wide bandgap semiconducting material, two-dimensional, 2D, silicon carbide has the potential to bring revolutionary advances into optoelectronic and electronic devices. It can overcome current limitations with silicon, bulk SiC, and gapless graphene. In addition to SiC, which is the most stable form of monolayer silicon carbide, other compositions, i.e., SixCy, are also predicted to be energetically favorable. Depending on the stoichiometry and bonding, monolayer SixCy may behave as a semiconductor, semimetal or topological insulator. With different Si/C ratios, the emerging 2D silicon carbide materials could attain novel electronic, optical, magnetic, mechanical, and chemical properties that go beyond those of graphene, silicene, and already discovered 2D semiconducting materials. This paper summarizes key findings in 2D SiC and provides insight into how changing the arrangement of silicon and carbon atoms in SiC will unlock incredible electronic, magnetic, and optical properties. It also highlights the significance of these properties for electronics, optoelectronics, magnetic, and energy devices. Finally, it will discuss potential synthesis approaches that can be used to grow 2D silicon carbide.

Abstract
Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have become one of the recent frontiers and focuses in two-dimensional (2D) materials fields thanks to their superior electronic, optical, and photoelectric properties. Triggered by the growing demand for developing nano-electronic devices, strain engineering of ultrathin TMDs has become a hot topic in the scientific community. In recent years, both theoretical and experimental research on the strain engineering of ultrathin TMDs have suggested new opportunities to achieve high-performance ultrathin TMDs based devices. However, recent reviews mainly focus on the experimental progress and the related theoretical research has long been ignored. In this review, we first outline the currently employed approaches for introducing strain in ultrathin TMDs, both their characteristics and advantages are explained in detail. Subsequently, the recent research progress in the modification of lattice and electronic structure, and physical properties of ultrathin TMDs under strain are systematically reviewed from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. Despite much work being done in this filed, reducing the distance of experimental progress from the theoretical prediction remains a great challenge in realizing wide applications of ultrathin TMDs in nano-electronic devices.

Abstract
As biosensors and biomedical devices have become increasingly important to everyday diagnostics and monitoring, there are tremendous, and constant efforts towards developing and improving the reliability and versatility of such technology. As they offer high surface area-to-volume ratios and a diverse range of properties, from electronic to optical, two dimensional (2D) materials have proven to be very promising candidates for biological applications and technologies. Due to the dimensionality, 2D materials facilitate many interfacial phenomena that have shown to significantly improve the performance of biosensors, while recent advances in synthesis techniques and surface engineering methods also enable the realization of future biomedical devices. This short review aims to highlight the influence of 2D material surfaces and the properties that arise due to their 2D structure. Using recent (within the last few years) examples of biosensors and biomedical applications, we emphasize the important role of 2D materials in advancing developments and research for biosensing and healthcare.

Abstract
Molecular adsorption at the surface of a two-dimensional material poses numerous questions regarding the modification to the band structure and interfacial states, which of course deserve full attention. In line with this, first principles density functional theory is employed on a graphene/ammonia system. We identify the effects on the band structure due to strain, charge transfer and presence of molecular orbitals (MOs) of NH3for six adsorption configurations. Induced-strain upon ammonia-adsorption opens the band gap (Eg) of graphene due to the breaking of translational symmetry. The charge transfer/MOs of NH3shifts the equilibrium Fermi energy (EF). TheEgandEFvalues and charge density distribution are dependent on the adsorption configuration, where the MO structure of NH3plays a crucial role. The presence of MOs of N or H-originated pushes the unoccupied states of graphene towardsEF. NH3forms an interfacial occupied state originating from N2pbelow theEFwithin ∼1.6 to 2.2 eV for all configurations. These findings enhance fundamental understanding of graphene/NH3system.

Abstract
Using density functional theory calculations, the adsorption of gaseous molecules (NO, NO2, NH3, SO2, CO, HCN, O2, H2, N2, CO2, and H2O) on the graphitic SiC monolayer and bilayer has been investigated to explore the possibilities in gas sensors for NO, NO2, and NH3 detection. The strong adsorption of NO2 and SO2 on the SiC monolayer precludes its applications in nitride gas sensors. The nitride gases (NO, NO2, and NH3) are chemisorbed on the SiC bilayer with moderate adsorption energies and apparent charge transfer, while the other molecules are all physisorbed. Further, the bilayer can effectively weaken the adsorption strength of NO2 and SO2 molecules, that is, NO2 molecules are only weakly chemisorbed on the SiC bilayer with an E ads of -0.62 eV, while SO2 are physisorbed on the bilayer. These results indicate that the SiC bilayer can serve as a gas sensor to detect NO, NO2, and NH3 gases with excellent performance (high sensitivity, high selectivity, and rapid recovery time). Moreover, compared with other molecular adsorptions, the adsorption of NH3 molecules significantly changes the work function of the SiC monolayer and bilayer, indicating that they can be used as optical gas sensors for NH3 detection.

Molecules 2020; 25:E2526.

Abstract
The emergence of the hydrogen economy requires development in the storage, generation and sensing of hydrogen. The indium selenide ( γ -InSe) van der Waals (vdW) crystal shows promise for technologies in all three of these areas. For these applications to be realised, the fundamental interactions of InSe with hydrogen must be understood. Here, we present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study on the interaction of γ -InSe with hydrogen. It is shown that hydrogenation of γ -InSe by a Kaufman ion source results in a marked quenching of the room temperature photoluminescence signal and a modification of the vibrational modes of γ -InSe, which are modelled by density functional theory simulations. Our experimental and theoretical studies indicate that hydrogen is incorporated into the crystal preferentially in its atomic form. This behaviour is qualitatively different from that observed in other vdW crystals, such as transition metal dichalcogenides, where molecular hydrogen is intercalated in the vdW gaps of the crystal, leading to the formation of "bubbles" for hydrogen storage.
