Special functional groups to modify the surface of graphene have received much attention since they enable the charge transfer enhancement, thus realizing gas-sensing at room temperature. In this work, three typical redox dye molecules, methylene blue (MB), indigo carmine (IC) and anthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AQS), were selected to be supramolecularl...

Exploring the simple yet well-controlled synthesis of atomically dispersed Pt catalysts is a crucial endeavour for harvesting clean hydrogen via the kinetics-favoured acidic electrochemical water splitting technique. Here we employed the use of defective carbon sheets by KOH etching as a substrate for the in situ surface reduction of Pt(IV) ions to...

The exploration of MXenes, especially nitride MXenes, in the field of theranostic nanomedicine is still in its infancy. Here, towards synergistic chemo-photothermal oncotherapy, we demonstrate the first kind of 2D titanium nitride (Ti2N) MXene-based nanosystem (Ti2N@oSi) for dual-strategy synergistic oncotherapy. The unique structure of Ti2N nanosh...

High-performance aqueous zinc batteries are expected to be realized, rooting from component synergistic effects of the hierarchical composite electrode materials. Herein, hierarchical crystalline Ni-Co phosphide coated with amorphous phosphate nanoarrays (C-NiCoP@A-NiCoPO4) self-supporting on the Ni foam are constructed as cathode material of an aq...

Uniformly dispersed ultrafine platinum nanoparticles confined in a covalent organic framework (Pt/COF) have been designed and synthesized, which exhibit good catalytic activities in both enzyme-like and electrocatalytic catalysis. Benefiting from the space-confinement effect of pores in the COF matrix, the size of in situ grown Pt nanoparticles is ...

We experimentally determine the elastic properties of 2D HfS2 and HfSe2 - two emerging nano-materials whose moderate energy bandgap and dielectric oxidized layer make them highly attractive for functional electronic and optoelectronic systems. We found that the average Young's moduli of HfS2 and HfSe2 nano-drumheads are relatively low (45.3 ± 3.7 G...

This work describes the assembly of a novel enzyme-controlled nanomachine operated through an AND Boolean logic gate for on-command delivery. The nanodevice was constructed on Au-mesoporous silica Janus nanoparticles capped with a thiol-sensitive gate-like molecular ensemble on the mesoporous face and functionalized with glutathione reductase on th...

The combination of various desired physical properties greatly extends the applicability of materials. Magnetic materials are generally mechanically soft, yet the combination of high mechanical hardness and ferromagnetic properties is highly sought after. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of nanocrystalline manganese boride, CrB-ty...

Silicon plays a crucial part in developing high-performance energy storage materials, owing to a high specific capacity compared to carbon. Moreover, nanoscale silicon is beneficial for reducing the inherent disadvantage of large volume change during repeated lithiation/de-lithiation, while artificial synthesis methods usually involve complex proce...
