Three-dimensionalization of ultrathin nanosheets in a two-dimensional nano-reactor: macroporous CuO microstructures with enhanced cycling performance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three-dimensional (3D) macroporous CuO structures composed of ultrathin nanosheets were successfully synthesized by employing a liquid-liquid interface as a two-dimensional (2D) nano-reactor. The macroporous structure helped CuO to retain the exposed surface during reactions, thus significantly enhancing the long term cycling performance both in photocatalysis and lithium ion batteries.

Ultrathin CoMn2O4 nanosheets supported on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) are successfully synthesized through a simple co-precipitation method with a post-annealing treatment. With the assistance of citrate, the free-standing CoMn2O4 ultrathin nanosheets can form porous overlays on both sides of the rGO sheets. Such a novel hybrid nanostructure can effectively promote charge transport and accommo...
متن کاملFacile, one-pot solvothermal method to synthesize ultrathin Sb2S3 nanosheets anchored on graphene.
Ultrathin, two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets of layered transition-metal chalcogenides are theoretically and technologically intriguing. However, it still remains a great challenge to synthesize ultrathin nanosheets because of the lack of an intrinsic driving force for the anisotropic growth of 2D superposed microstructures. Here we demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, the in situ sy...
