TL;DR: Structural characterization and electrochemical studies confirmed that the nanosheets of the metallic MoS2 polymorph exhibit facile electrode kinetics and low-loss electrical transport and possess a proliferated density of catalytic active sites, which make these metallic nanOSheets a highly competitive earth-abundant HER catalyst.

TL;DR: Lasing performance, coupled with the facile solution growth of single-crystal nanowires and the broad stoichiometry-dependent tunability of emission colour, makes lead halide perovskites ideal materials for the development of nanophotonics, in parallel with the rapid development in photovoltaics from the same materials.

TL;DR: The controlled synthesis of NiCo layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoplates using a newly developed high temperature high pressure hydrothermal continuous flow reactor (HCFR) enables direct growth onto conductive substrates in high yield and better control of the precursor supersaturation and, thus, nanostructure morphology and size.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report metallic WS2 nanosheets that display excellent catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) that is the best reported for MX2 materials.

TL;DR: The results suggest that chemically exfoliated 1T-MoS2/Si heterostructures are promising earth-abundant alternatives to photocathodes based on noble metal catalysts for solar-driven hydrogen production.
