Controlled synthesis of ultrathin lamellar Eu(2)O(3) nanocrystals: self-assembly of 1D nanowires to 2D nanosheets.
نویسندگان
چکیده
By using 1,5-pentanediol as a capping and structure directing agent, ultrathin Eu2O3 nanosheets (<1 nm) have been synthesized and assembled into a layered structure. The lateral dimensions of the nanosheets can be tuned by simply controlling the reaction time. These layered structures exhibit a strong quantum size effect due to the extremely small thickness of the assembled nanosheets.

Highly Ordered Self-Assembly of Native Proteins into 1D, 2D, and 3D Structures Modulated by the Tether Length of Assembly-Inducing Ligands.
In nature, proteins self-assemble into various structures with different dimensions. To construct these nanostructures in laboratories, normally proteins with different symmetries are selected. However, most of these approaches are engineering-intensive and highly dependent on the accuracy of the protein design. Herein, we report that a simple native protein LecA assembles into one-dimensional ...
متن کاملPreparation, formation mechanism and photocatalysis of ultrathin mesoporous single-crystal-like CeO2 nanosheets.
For the first time we synthesized mesoporous CeO2 nanosheets with single-crystal-like, ultrathin and uniform-sized structures through the thermal decomposition of specially prepared intermediates of Ce(OH)CO3 nanosheets. The resulting single-crystal-like CeO2 porous nanosheets are only 2.4 nm thick, as measured by AFM. BET analysis indicated that the pores of the nanosheets were centered at 3.7...

Two-dimensional inorganic nanomaterials have drawnmuch attention due to their excellent properties and wide applications associated with unique 2D structures. However, an efficient and versatile chemical synthesis method using ambient conditions for 2D nanomaterials, especially with secondary structures (e.g. mesopores), has still not been reported. Herein, we report a versatile method to synth...
متن کاملControlled synthesis and enhanced luminescence of BiOCl:Eu3+ ultrathin nanosheets
BiOCl:Eu ultrathin nanosheets were synthesized through a facile solvothermal method with the assistance of polyvinyl pyrrolidone. The ultrathin nanosheets showed a size ranging from 50–100 nm and a height of 2.9 nm, which is about four [Cl–Bi–O–Bi–Cl] layers. In addition, the luminescence properties and mechanism were investigated in detail, and compared with that of the nanoplate. It was found...
متن کاملSelf-Assembled 2D Free-Standing Janus Nanosheets with Single-Layer Thickness
We report the thermodynamically controlled growth of solution-processable and free-standing nanosheets via peptide assembly in two dimensions. By taking advantage of self-sorting between peptide β-strands and hydrocarbon chains, we have demonstrated the formation of Janus 2D structures with single-layer thickness, which enable a predetermined surface heterofunctionalization. A controlled 2D-to-...
