The production of two-dimensional rhenium disulfide (ReS2) nanosheets by exfoliation using lithium intercalation is demonstrated. The vibrational and photoluminescence properties of the exfoliated nanosheets are investigated, and the local atomic structure is studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The catalytic activity of the nanosheets in a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER)...

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets have unique physical and chemical properties, which make it a perfect candidate for next generation electronic and energy storage applications. Herein, we show the successful synthesis of nitrogen-doped MoS2 nanosheets by a simple, effective and large-scale approach. MoS2 nanosheets synthesised by this method show a porous structure formed by curled and ov...

Highly luminescent and water-soluble cobalt(ii)-bis(8-hydroxyquinoline) (CoQ(2)) nanosheets have been successfully synthesized via a simple, rapid sonochemical method. The water-soluble CoQ(2) nanosheets were characterized by luminescence spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The CoQ(2) nanosheets allow highly sensitive and selective d...

Polymer-carbon nanocomposites incorporate the exceptional properties of both polymer matrices, such as low cost and simple processing, with distinctive features carbon-based fillers, high electrical thermal conductivities, excellent mechanical properties. Various fillers like carbon black (CB), graphite, expanded graphite (EG), nanotubes (CNTs) are being used to produce materials advanced Howev...
