The Deep Eutectic Solvent Precipitation Synthesis of Metastable Zn 4 V 2 O 9

A precipitation method involving a deep eutectic solvent (DES)–a mixture of hydrogen bond donor and acceptor–is used to synthesize a ternary metal oxide. Without toxic reagents, precipitates consisting of Zn 3 (OH) 2 V 2 O 7 ·nH 2 O and Zn 5 (OH) 6 (CO 3 ) 2 are obtained by simply introducing deionized H 2 O to the DES solution containing dissolved ZnO and V 2 O 5 . Manipulation of the synthetic conditions demonstrates high tunability in the size/morphology of the two-dimensional nanosheets precipitated during the dynamic equilibrium process. According to differential scanning calorimetry and high-temperature powder X-ray diffraction, Zn 3 V 2 O 8 and ZnO obtained by the annealing of the precipitate are intermediates in the reaction pathway toward metastable Zn 4 V 2 O 9 . Intimate mixing of the metal precursors achieved by the precipitation method allows access to the metastable zinc-rich vanadate with unusually rapid heat treatment. Furthermore, the UV–vis and surface photovoltage spectra reveal the presence of sub-band gap states, stemming from the reduced vanadium (V 4+ ) center. Photoelectrochemical measurements confirm weak photoanodic currents for water and methanol oxidation. For the first time, this work shows the synthesis of a metastable oxide with the DES-precipitation route and provides insight into the structure–property relationship of the zinc-rich vanadate.

Ab Initio-Based Bond Order Potential for Arsenene Polymorphs Developed via Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning

Arsenene, a less-explored two-dimensional material, holds the potential for applications in wearable electronics, memory devices, and quantum systems. This study introduces a bond-order potential model with Tersoff formalism, the ML-Tersoff, which leverages multireward hierarchical reinforcement learning (RL), trained on an ab initio data set. This data set covers a spectrum of properties for arsenene polymorphs, enhancing our understanding of its mechanical and thermal behaviors without the complexities of traditional models requiring multiple parameter sets. Our RL strategy utilizes decision trees coupled with a hierarchical reward strategy to accelerate convergence in high-dimensional continuous search spaces. Unlike the Stillinger-Weber approach, which demands separate formalisms for buckled and puckered forms, the ML-Tersoff model concurrently captures multiple properties of the two polymorphs by effectively representing the local environment, thereby avoiding the need for different atomic types. Here, we apply the ML model to understand the mechanical and thermal properties of the arsenene polymorphs and nanostructures. We observe an inverse relationship between the critical strain and temperature in arsenene. Thermal conductivity calculations in nanosheets show good agreement with ab initio data, reflecting a decrease in thermal conductivity attributable to increased anharmonic effects at higher temperatures. We also apply the model to predict the thermal behavior of arsenene nanotubes.

Locally Engineering and Interrogating the Photoelectrochemical Behavior of Defects in Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are attractive materials for a variety of applications in solar energy conversion and electrocatalysis, due to their favorable optical and electrical properties and their unique two-dimensional structures which facilitate the fabrication of wide-area, ultrathin layers. Unfortunately, the basal planes which make up the majority of these materials are relatively inert, and thus a great deal of effort has been directed to engineering favorable, catalytically active defects into these materials. In this paper, we demonstrate how probe-based electrochemical techniques can be employed as multifunctional tools for locally modifying TMD materials and probing the electrochemical behavior of the resulting defects. Scanning Electrochemical Cell Microscopy (SECCM) was employed to locally anodize exfoliated p-type WSe 2 nanosheets, creating hole-like defects within individual basal planes in a highly controllable fashion. Photoelectrochemical SECCM imaging was then employed to characterize the chemical behavior of these engineered defects, revealing significantly enhanced activity toward the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER). Atomic force microscopy studies are presented which suggest these enhancements result from an increased density of monolayer-high step features within the anodized defects. Analysis of the SECCM data in the context of finite element simulations revealed that these enhancements increased with increasing anodization time, with local kinetic rates over 2 orders of magnitude higher than unaltered basal planes.

Probing Activities of Individual Catalytic Nanoflakes by Tunneling Mode of Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy

The tunneling mode of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) was developed recently and applied to studies of charge-transfer reactions at single metal nanoparticles (NPs). When an SECM tip is brought within the tunneling distance from a conductive NP, the particle begins to act as a part of the nanoelectrode. Herein, we demonstrate the possibility of using carbon nanoelectrodes with a very thin insulating sheath for electrochemical tunneling experiments at flat samples. In this way, electrocatalytic activity, conductivity, and charging properties of and faradaic processes in layered nanomaterials can be characterized by single-nanoflake voltammetry without making direct ohmic contact with them. A broad applicability of tunneling SECM experiments is demonstrated by probing nanomaterials with different size, geometry, and electrocatalytic properties, including metallic/pseudo-metallic (1T/1T') and semiconducting (2H) MoS 2 nanoflakes, N-doped porous carbon catalyst, and MXene nanosheets. Further, the Tafel plots for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at individual nanoflakes are compared to analogous measurements for an ensemble of flakes attached to the surface of a macroscopic electrode. Moreover, we observed variations in catalytic activities of individual MXene flakes toward HER and OER caused by non-uniform doping.

Lepidocrocite Titanate–Graphene Composites for Sodium-Ion Batteries

To overcome electronic transport issues of layered titanates in sodium-ion batteries, we have designed and synthesized composites of lepidocrocite titanates with reduced graphene oxide through a solution-based self-assembly approach. The parent lepidocrocite titanate (K 0.8 [Ti 1.73 Li 0.27 ]O 4 ) was exfoliated by a soft-chemical approach and mechanical shaking. Exfoliated layered titania sheets (LTO) were then combined with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) layers to assemble into composites through flocculation. Countercations (i.e., Mg 2+ ) were used for the self-assembly of negatively charged titania and rGO nanosheets via flocculation. The carbon content in the composites was tuned from 1 to 17% by changing the ratio of titania and rGO sheets in the mixed colloidal suspensions. Electrodes were processed with as-prepared LTO-rGO composites without any carbon additives and tested in sodium half-cell configurations. Mg + -coagulated LTO-rGO composite electrodes deliver higher capacities than electrodes prepared with coagulated titania sheets and 10% acetylene black in sodium half-cells and display good capacity retention after 50 cycles. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results indicate lower charge transfer resistance for LTO-14.5%rGO composites than that of coagulated titania sheets with 10% acetylene black. A power law analysis of cells containing the composites indicate a hybrid mechanism consisting of both surface and diffusional processes. A comparison with a similar system, that of dopamine-derived LTO-C heterostructures, reveal significant differences. While capacities showed a strong dependence on carbon content for the dopamine-derived materials, this was not true for the LTO-rGO composites. Instead, the highest capacity was obtained for the 14.5% rGO sample, with a lower value obtained for the 17% rGO sample. A greater proportion of the redox processes were surface rather than diffusional in nature for the LTO-rGO composites as well.

Key Intermediate Nanostructures in the Self-Assembly of Amphiphilic Polypeptoids Revealed by Cryo-TEM

Amphiphilic copolypeptoids are known to form a variety of nanostructures (fibers, tubes, sheets, etc.), but the assembly mechanisms and key intermediates remain underexplored. This study investigates the intermediate structures formed during the early stages of self-assembly in diblock copolypeptoids using cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). Here we focused on two diblock copolypeptoids, one with a free N-terminus and the other with a capped N-terminus, which ultimately form less-ordered nanofibers and well-ordered nanosheets, respectively. Through cryo-TEM imaging of vitrified solutions at various time points during the self-assembly process, the study identified micelles and vesicles as key intermediate structures. Notably, the formation of vesicles as intermediates is unusual in crystallization-driven self-assembly and suggests a unique pathway in polypeptoid self-assembly. The study provides direct imaging evidence of key intermediates in polypeptoid self-assembly, advancing the understanding of their self-assembly mechanisms.

Energy Funneling in a Noninteger Two-Dimensional Perovskite

Energy funneling is a phenomenon that has been exploited in optoelectronic devices based on low-dimensional materials to improve their performance. Here, we introduce a new class of two-dimensional semiconductor, characterized by multiple regions of varying thickness in a single confined nanostructure with homogeneous composition. This "noninteger 2D semiconductor" was prepared via the structural transformation of two-octahedron-layer-thick (n = 2) 2D cesium lead bromide perovskite nanosheets; it consisted of a central n = 2 region surrounded by edge-lying n = 3 regions, as imaged by electron microscopy. Thicker noninteger 2D CsPbBr 3 nanostructures were obtained as well. Finally, these noninteger 2D perovskites formed a laterally coupled quantum well band alignment with virtually no strain at the interface and no dielectric barrier, across which unprecedented intramaterial funneling of the photoexcitation energy was observed from the thin to the thick regions using time-resolved absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy.

Ion Transport in Self-Assembled Peptoid Membranes with Carbon Nanotube Porin Channels

Artificial membranes that combine high ionic selectivity with mechanical robustness remain a key challenge for next-generation separation technologies. Here, we report ion transport measurements in biomimetic membranes composed of crystalline peptoid nanosheets co-assembled with carbon nanotube porins (CNTPs). Pure peptoid sheets formed defect-free, ion-impermeable membranes, which were then suspended over small SiN x nanopore apertures for ion transport measurements. Incorporation of CNTPs into the peptoid sheet matrix made these membranes ion permeable, with ion conductance values consistent with ion transport through individual and multiple carbon nanotube channels. In conclusion, the modularity and molecular order of peptoid membranes, combined with the exceptional conductance properties of CNTPs, position this platform as a versatile framework for assembling programmable, selective, and robust nanofluidic membranes that can bridge the performance gap between biological and synthetic membrane materials.

Carrier Recombination Dynamics of Surface-Passivated Epitaxial (100)Ge, (110)Ge, and (111)Ge Layers by Atomic Layer Deposited Al2O3

Germanium (Ge) and its heterostructures with compound semiconductors offer a unique optoelectronic functionality due to its pseudo-bandgap nature, that can be transformed to a direct bandgap material by providing strain and/or mixing with tin. Moreover, two crystal surfaces, (100)Ge and (110)Ge, that are technologically important for ultralow power fin or nanosheet transistors, could offer unprecedented properties with reduced surface defects after passivating these surfaces by atomic layer deposited (ALD) dielectrics. In this work, the crystallographically oriented epitaxial Ge/AlAs heterostructures were grown and passivated with ALD Al2O3 dielectrics, and the microwave photoconductive decay (u-PCD) technique was employed to evaluate carrier lifetimes at room temperature. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis reveals no role of orientation effect in the quality of the ALD Al2O3 dielectric on oriented Ge layers. The carrier lifetimes measured using the u-PCD technique were benchmarked against unpassivated Ge/AlAs heterostructures. Excitation wavelengths of 1500 and 1800 nm with an estimated injection level of ~10^13 cm-3 were selected to measure the orientation-specific carrier lifetimes. The carrier lifetime was increased from 390 ns to 565 ns for (100)Ge and from 260 ns to 440 ns for (110)Ge orientations with passivation, whereas the carrier lifetime is almost unchanged for (111)Ge after passivation. This behavior indicates a strong dependence of the measured lifetime on surface orientation and surface passivation. The observed increase (>1.5x) in lifetime with Al2O3-passivated (100)Ge and (110)Ge surfaces is due to the lower surface recombination velocity compared to unpassivated Ge/AlAs heterostructures. The enhancement of carrier lifetime from passivated Ge/AlAs heterostructures with (100)Ge and (110)Ge surface orientations offers a path for the development of nanoscale transistors due to the reduced interface state density.

Low-Cost Transformation of Biomass-Derived Carbon to High-Performing Nano-graphite via Low-Temperature Electrochemical Graphitization

Graphite, an essential component of energy storage devices, is traditionally synthesized via an energy-intensive thermal process (Acheson process) at ~3300 K. However, the battery performance of such graphite is abysmal under fast-charging conditions, which is deemed essential for the propulsion of electric vehicles to the next level. Herein, a low-temperature electrochemical transformation approach has been demonstrated to afford a highly crystalline nano-graphite with the capability of tuning interlayer spacing to enhance the lithium diffusion kinetics in molten salts at 850 °C. The essence of our strategy lies in the effective electrocatalytic transformation of carbon to graphite at a lower temperature that could significantly increase the energy savings, reduce the cost, shorten the synthesis time, and replace the traditional graphite synthesis. The resulting graphite exhibits high purity, crystallinity, a high degree of graphitization, and a nanoflake architecture that all ensure fast lithium diffusion kinetics (~2.0 × 10 –8 cm2 s –1 ) through its nanosheet. Such unique features enable outstanding electrochemical performance (~200 mA h g –1 at 5C for 1000 cycles, 1C = 372 mA g –1 ) as a fast-charging anode for lithium-ion batteries. Overall, this finding paves the way to make high energy-density fast-charging batteries that could boost electromobility.

Nanoscale Probing of Electrical Memory Effects in van der Waals Layered PdSe 2

Tunable electronic materials that can be switched between different impedance states are fundamental to the hardware elements for neuromorphic computing architectures. This “brain-like” computing paradigm uses highly paralleled and colocated data processing, leading to greatly improved energy efficiency and performance compared to traditional architectures in which data have to be frequently transferred between processor and memory. In this work, we use scanning microwave impedance microscopy for nanoscale electrical and electronic characterization of two-dimensional layered semiconductor PdSe 2 to probe neuromorphic properties. The local resolution of tens of nanometers reveals significant differences in electronic behavior between and within PdSe 2 nanosheets (NSs). In particular, we detected both n-type and p-type behaviors, although previous reports only point to ambipolar n-type dominating characteristics. Nanoscale capacitance–voltage curves and subsequent calculation of characteristic maps revealed a hysteretic behavior originating from the creation and erasure of Se vacancies as well as the switching of defect charge states. In addition, stacks consisting of two NSs show enhanced resistive and capacitive switching, which is attributed to trapped charge carriers at the interfaces between the stacked NSs. Stacking n- and p-type NSs results in a combined behavior that allows one to tune electrical characteristics. In conclusion, as local inhomogeneities of electrical and electronic behavior can have a significant impact on the overall device performance, the demonstrated nanoscale characterization and analysis will be applicable to a wide range of semiconducting materials.

Nacre-like MXene/Polyacrylic Acid Layer-by-Layer Multilayers as Hydrogen Gas Barriers

MXenes are a promising class of 2D nanomaterials and are of particular interest for gas barrier applications due to their high aspect ratio. However, MXene nanosheets naturally bear a negative charge, which prevents assembly with negatively charged polymers, such as polyacrylic acid (PAA), into gas barrier coatings. Here, we present MXene- and PAA-based layer-by-layer (MXene/ PAA LbL) multilayers formed by leveraging hydrogen bonding interactions. When assembled in acidic conditions, MXene/PAA LbL multilayers exhibit conformal, pinhole-free, nacre-like structures. The MXene/PAA LbL multilayers yield high blocking capability and low permeability (0.14 ± 0.01 cc·mm·m −2 ·day −1 · MPa −1 ) for hydrogen gas which is over 9000 times lower than uncoated niobium (Nb) substrate. These nacre-like structures are also electronically conductive (σ DC , up to 370 ± 30 S cm −1 ). Because these multilayers utilize hydrogen bonding, their properties are highly sensitive to the pH of the assembly and its external environment. Specifically, the reversible deconstruction of these multilayers under basic conditions is experimentally verified. This study shows that hydrogen bonding interactions can be leveraged to form MXene LbL multilayers as gas barriers, electronically conductive coatings, and deconstructable thin films via pH control.

MXene-Derived Potassium-Preintercalated Bilayered Vanadium Oxide Nanostructures for Cathodes in Nonaqueous K-Ion Batteries

Bilayered vanadium oxides (BVOs) are promising cathode materials for beyond-Li-ion batteries due to their tunable chemistries and high theoretical capacities. However, the large size of beyond-Li + ions limits electrochemical cycling and rate capability of BVO electrodes. Recent reports of MXene-derived BVOs with nanoscale flower-like morphology have shown improved electrochemical stability at high rates up to 5C in nonaqueous lithium-ion batteries. Here, we report how morphological stabilization can lead to improved rate capability in potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) through the synthesis and electrochemical characterization of MXene-derived K-preintercalated BVOs (MD-KVOs), which were derived from two V 2 CT x precursor materials prepared using two different etching protocols. We show that the etching conditions affect the surface chemistry of the MXene, which plays a role in the MXene-to-oxide transformation process. MXene derived from a milder etchant transformed into a nanoflower MD-KVO with two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet petals (KVO-DMAE) while a more aggressive etchant produced a MXene that transformed into a MD-KVO with one-dimensional (1D) nanorod morphology (KVO-CMAE). Electrochemical cycling of the produced MD-KVOs after drying at 200 °C under vacuum (KVO-DMAE-200 and KVO-CMAE-200) in PIBs showed that electrochemical stability of MD-KVO at high rates improved through the morphological stabilization of 2D particles combined with the control of interlayer water and K + ion content. Structure refinement of KVO-DMAE-200 further corroborates the behavior observed during K + ion cycling, connecting structural and compositional characteristics to the improved rate capability. This work demonstrates how proper synthetic methodology can cause downstream effects in the control of structure, chemical composition, and morphology of nanostructured layered oxide materials, which is necessary for development of future materials for beyond-Li-ion battery technologies.

Water-Fed Hydroxide Exchange Membrane Electrolyzer Enabled by a Fluoride-Incorporated Nickel–Iron Oxyhydroxide Oxygen Evolution Electrode

Here, we have developed a dissolved oxygen and galvanic corrosion method to synthesize vertically aligned fluoride-incorporated nickel–iron oxyhydroxide nanosheet arrays on a compressed Ni foam as an efficient self-supported oxygen evolution electrode. It is integrated with poly(aryl piperidinium) hydroxide exchange membrane and ionomers with high ion exchange capacity into a hydroxide exchange membrane electrolyzer fed with pure water, which achieves a performance of 1020 mA cm –2 at 1.8 V and prevents the detachment of catalysts during continuous operation (>160 h at 200 mA cm –2 ). Furthermore, this work provides a potential pathway for massively producing low-cost hydrogen using intermittent renewable energy sources.

Metal-Confined Synthesis of ZnS 2 Monolayer Catalysts for Dinitrogen Electroreduction

Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials are of great significance in catalytic, energy storage, and electronic devices. So far, such materials are limited to several categories with layered structures. Herein, we predict an unusual atomically thin ZnS2 monolayer and exploit a metal-confined chemical vapor deposition strategy for the successful preparation of such an unprecedented 2D material, where a sulfide monolayer was first grown on metal nanosheets to form a sulfide/metal/sulfide sandwich structure, and then, the metal core was etched out to obtain freestanding sulfide monolayers. As shown in this work, the ZnS 2 monolayer possesses unique electron-deficient properties related to the atomic structure and exhibits high catalytic activity for dinitrogen electroreduction. Our work will enable creating 2D TMD materials that were previously inexistent or inaccessible.

Highly Oxidized Oxide Surface toward Optimum Oxygen Evolution Reaction by Termination Engineering

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a critical step for sustainable fuel production through electrochemistry process. Maximizing active sites of nanocatalyst with enhanced intrinsic activity, especially the activation of lattice oxygen, is gradually recognized as the primary incentive. Since the surface reconfiguration to oxyhydroxide is unavoidable for oxygen-activated transition metal oxides, developing a surface termination like oxyhydroxide in oxides is highly desirable. In this work, we demonstrate an unusual surface termination of (111)-facet Co 3 O 4 nanosheet that is exclusively containing edge-sharing octahedral Co 3+ similar to CoOOH that can perform at approximately 40 times higher current density at 1.63 V (vs RHE) than commercial RuO 2 . It is found that this surface termination has an oxidized oxygen state in contrast to standard Co-O systems, which can serve as active site independently, breaking the scaling relationship limit. Finally, this work forwards the applications of oxide electrocatalysts in the energy conversion field by surface termination engineering.

Two-Dimensional Tantalum Carbo-Selenide for Hydrogen Evolution

Herein, we report the synthesis of two-dimensional Ta 2 Se 2 C (2D-Ta 2 Se 2 C) nanosheets using electrochemical lithiation in multilayer Ta 2 Se 2 C followed by sonication in deionized water. Multilayer Ta 2 Se 2 C was obtained via solid-state synthesis of Fe x Ta 2 Se 2 C followed by chemical etching of Fe. 2D-Ta 2 Se 2 C exhibited promising electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction from water compared to multilayer Ta 2 Se 2 C and 2D-TaSe 2 . 2D-Ta 2 Se 2 C showed an overpotential at 10 mA·cm -2 (η 10 ) of 264 mV, a Tafel slope of 91 mV·dec -1 , and an electrochemically active surface area of 17.61 m ECSA 2 ·g catalyst -1 . The high performance could be attributed to the large surface area of single sheets which hence maximizes the number of exposed catalytic sites and increased density of vacancies, observed with transmission electron microscopy, during synthesis and processing.

N -Terminal Octylated Peptoid Hydrogels as 3D-Printable Cell Scaffolds and Proteolytically Robust Cargo Depots

Supramolecular hydrogels that mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) represent promising materials for tissue engineering and drug delivery. However, conventional hydrogels formed via the self-assembly of natural or synthetic building blocks often face a trade-off between biological functionality and biochemical stability, limiting their utility in long-term or protease-rich environments. Peptoids, a class of peptide-inspired, sequence-defined polymers, offer a compelling alternative due to their exceptional proteolytic resistance and bioactivity. Despite this potential, the development of supramolecular peptoid hydrogels has been hindered by the absence of backbone hydrogen bond donors, which limits long-range ordering necessary for efficient hydrogel formation. This work describes a short peptoid functionalized at the N-terminus with an octyl chain that readily self-assembles into hydrogels. Hydrophobic interactions among pendant octyl groups promote directional peptoid packing into highly ordered nanosheets, which interconnect to form a porous hydrogel network. These hydrogels exhibit tunable viscoelasticity, shear-thinning, and self-healing properties, enabling their use as inks for extrusion-based 3D printing. They support NIH-3T3 fibroblast adhesion, spreading, and proliferation, maintaining greater than 95% cell viability over 4 days. Moreover, the hydrogels retain their macroscopic integrity under protease-rich conditions, enabling sustained cargo release and uniform cellular uptake. Together, this study demonstrates a class of supramolecular peptoid hydrogelators that integrate biocompatibility, 3D printability, and proteolytic stability, providing a versatile platform for ECMmimetic scaffolds in regenerative medicine and long-term therapeutic delivery.
