چکیده

Layered lead bismuth selenide, PbBi2Se4, an intergrowth compound of PbSe (rocksalt) and Bi2Se3 (hexagonal), is a topological insulator in the bulk phase. We present a simple solution based synthesis of two dimensional (2D) few seven atomic (septuple) layered PbBi2Se4 nanosheets (4-7 nm thick) for the first time. The excellent electrical transport in ultrathin PbBi2Se4 is attributed to the presence of dominant surface states that offer high electrical mobility (∼153 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)) and scattering resistant carriers. Ultrathin 3-5 SLs PbBi2Se4 shows an n-type semiconducting behaviour with a band gap of ∼0.6 eV, which is confirmed by optical spectroscopy and thermopower measurements.

Controlled synthesis of ultrathin lamellar Eu(2)O(3) nanocrystals: self-assembly of 1D nanowires to 2D nanosheets.

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.

Few-layered CoHPO4 · 3H2O ultrathin nanosheets for high performance of electrode materials for supercapacitors.

Ultrathin cobalt phosphate (CoHPO4 · 3H2O) nanosheets are successfully synthesized by a one pot hydrothermal method. Novel CoHPO4 · 3H2O ultrathin nanosheets are assembled for constructing the electrodes of supercapacitors. Benefiting from the nanostructures, the as-prepared electrode shows a specific capacitance of 413 F g(-1), and no obvious decay even after 3000 charge-discharge cycles. Such...
