Graphene is considered an enabling material for next generation sensors, due to the remarkable properties derived from its atomic thickness. However, these promises come with acute sensitivity to parasite adsorbates, that may hinder reaching the full poten ...
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) of Mo and W in their 1T' crystalline phase host the quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator phase. We address the electronic properties of the QSH edge states by means of first-principles calculations perfo ...
Herein, we highlighted fluorine-anion-modification as a useful method for enhancing OER catalytic activity. Fluorine-anion-doped Ni foam exhibits an almost 10-fold enhancement in OER catalytic activity. Moreover, fluorine-anion-modification could be used a ...
Two-dimensional (2D) crystals such as graphene or transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are a fascinating class of quantum materials. These compounds are obtained isolating the single atomic sheets that normally form bulk layered crystals, and the reduc ...
Since their discovery, graphene and other 2D materials have become a subject of intense research in condensed matter physics. Especially the vast possibilities of combining those materials into heterostructures are promising for the discovery of novel phys ...
Today's great challenges of energy and informational technologies are addressed with a singular compound, Li-and Na-doped few-layer graphene. All that is impossible for graphite (homogeneous and high-level Na doping) and unstable for single-layer graphene ...
Using accurate first-principles calculations based on many-body perturbation theory, we predict that two-dimensional MoS2 hosts edge excitons with universal character, intrinsic to the existence of edges and lying well below the onset of bulk features. The ...
Hexagonal boron nitride () is the isoelectronic but insulating counterpart of graphene. Like graphene it can easily be grown as high-quality nanotubes or as single layers on metal surfaces. Both materials can be exfoliated or transferred after single-layer ...
The rapidly evolving field of 2D materials has developed a plethora of emerging micro/nano devices where atomically-thin materials play a fundamental role. In most cases, this implies the need of nanostructuring them, but due to their delicate nature, conv ...
The fabrication of highly ordered nanostructures over large areas is key for many technologies and colloidal lithography using the Langmuir Blodgett technique appears a simple and straightforward way of reaching that goal. While this technique has been wid ...
