This review presents state-of-the-art progress in 2D-enabled TFN membranes for RO and NF applications water treatment with emphasis on impact of 2D nanosheet membrane properties, performance, its associated challenges.

In this work, graphene-oxide-decorated porous ZnO nanosheets were prepared using a hydrothermal method. The graphene oxide/porous nanosheet (GO/ZnO nanosheet) composites characterized with SEM, HRTEM, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, XPS and BET. results indicate that the have porous, single-crystal structure. Thin GO closely cover surface of nanosheets. sensing performance GO/ZnO is investigated. At o...

Due to the noticeable structural similarity and being neighborhood in periodic table of group-IV -V elemental monolayers, whether combination elements could have stable nanosheet structures with optimistic properties has attracted great research interest. In this work, we performed first-principles simulations investigate elastic, vibrational electronic carbon nitride (CN) puckered honeycomb st...

We present a new approach for designing flexible energy storage capacitors using two-dimensional (2D) inorganic nanosheets. 2D dielectric Ca2Nb3O10 nanosheet and ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) were selected as model material systems. Langmuir–Blodgett deposition was utilized layer-by-layer engineering of (Ca2Nb3O10/PVDF) nanocomposite films on an indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated po...

Plasmene is recently defined as 2D arrays of plasmonic nanoparticles, which could be fabricated by the bottom-up self-assembly approach and demonstrated a wide range applications in sensing, energy harvesting, nanophotonics encryption. Here, this work further demonstrates 3D helical nanostructures that can from plasmene nanosheet. Inspired chocolate curls-making process, micro-spatula-based str...

A closed form three-dimensional solution is presented for determination of the local buckling (cell buckling) load of the nanosheets. Moreover, an expression is proposed for the effective 2D Young’s modulus of the unit cell of the nanosheet. In this regard, a three-dimensional efficient space-frame-like geometrical model with angular and extensional compliances is considered to investigate stab...
