Photoelectrochemical Behavior of the MnO2 Nanosheet Electrodes

We recently synthesized a new modification of nanosized oxides such as titania [1] and manganese oxide [2] by delaminating precursor layered crystals into their elementary layers. The obtained materials have been named nanosheets on the basis of their two-dimensional morphology, as depicted in Fig. 1. The crystallite has an extremely small thickness less than 1 nm and a lateral size ranging fro...

Atomic structure of titania nanosheet with vacancies

Titania nanosheets are two-dimensional single crystallites of titanium oxide with a thickness of one titanium or two oxygen atoms, and they show attractive material properties, such as photocatalytic reactions. Since a titania (Ti₀.₈₇O₂) nanosheet is synthesized by the delamination of a parent layered K₀.₈Ti₁.₇₃Li₀.₂₇O₄ crystal using a soft chemical procedure, substantial Ti vacancies are expec...

Ordered mesoporous carbon/α-alumina nanosheet composites.

Novel α-alumina crystalline nanosheets are used for the preparation of alumina-carbon composites, in which the latter component is phenolic resin-based ordered mesoporous carbon. A unique feature of these composites is perpendicular orientation of ordered mesopores of the carbon to the (001) facets of nonporous α-alumina nanosheets accompanied by significant enlargement of these mesopores in co...

Mini Review: Nanosheet Technology towards Biomedical Application

The fabrication technique of ultrathin film (commonly known as nanosheets) has been significantly developed over the years. Due to the mechanical properties of nanosheets, such as high levels of adhesion and flexibility, this made nanosheets the ideal candidate in biomedical applications. In this review, innovative biomedical applications of nanosheets are discussed, which include, drug deliver...
