In recent years, graphene-like boron carbide and carbon nitride nanosheets have attracted remarkable attentions, owing to their semiconducting electronic nature outstanding mechanical heat transport properties. Graphene-like BC6N is an experimentally realized layered material most recently has been the focus of numerous theoretical studies. Interestingly, stable form monolayer remains unexplore...

The nanosheet-seeding growth (NSG) technique is an interesting synthesis method for preparing two-dimensional (2D) materials by employing ultrathin nanosheets as templates. In this work, the of 2D TiO2 nanoplates using Ti0.87O2 via NSG process thoroughly studied to achieve a better understanding process. influence various conditions on morphology and phase composition has been carefully examine...

Pathological amyloidogenic prion proteins have a toxic effect on functional cells in the human cerebrum because of poor degradability and the tendency to accumulate in an uncontrolled manner under physiological conditions. HET-s, a fungal prion protein, is known to undergo conformational variations from fibrillar to nanosheet structures during a change from low to high pH conditions. It has bee...

Limited control over charge recombination between photogenerated charge carriers largely hinders the progress in photocatalysis. Here, we introduce metal nanoparticles (Cr, Ag) to the surface of MoS2 nanosheets by simple synthetic means creating a hybrid metal-MoS2 nanosheet system with well-defined metal/semiconductor interfaces. We demonstrate that this hybrid nanosheet structure is capable o...

Wet-chemical syntheses of quasi two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have emerged as promising methods for straightforward solution-processing these materials. However, the photoluminescence (PL) properties colloidal TMDs are virtually unexplored due to typically nonemitting synthesis products. In this work, we demonstrate room temperature micro-PL delicate ultrathin WS2...

Successful experimental realizations of two-dimensional (2D) C60 fullerene networks have been among the most exciting latest advances in rapidly growing field 2D materials. In this short communication, on basis experimentally synthesized full boron B40 lattice, and by structural minimizations extensive atomic configurations via density functional theory calculations, we could, for first time, p...

Graphene is a new class of two-dimensional carbon nanostructure, which holds great promise for the vast applications in many technological fields. It would be one of the prominent new materials for the next generation nano-electronic devices. In this paper the influence of various vacancy defects on the critical buckling load of a single-layered graphene nanosheet is investigated. The nanosheet...
