TL;DR: It is shown that a hybrid material made out of a few phosphorene layers sandwiched between graphene layers shows a specific capacity of 2,440 mA h g(-1) at a current density and an 83% capacity retention after 100 cycles while operating between 0 and 1.5 V.

TL;DR: A broadband photodetector using a layered black phosphorus transistor that is polarization-sensitive over a bandwidth from ∼400 nm to 3,750‽nm is demonstrated and might provide new functionalities in novel optical and optoelectronic device applications.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that high-crystalline mono- and few-layer WS2 flakes and even complete layers can be synthesized on sapphire with the domain size exceeding 50 × 50 μm(2) and it is interesting to see that, only through a mild sample oxidation process, the grain boundaries are easily recognizable by scanning electron microscopy due to its altered contrasts.

TL;DR: With the flexible tuning of properties 2D TMDs become attractive candidates for a variety of applications including electronics, optoelectronics, catalysis, and energy.

TL;DR: It is shown that few-layered vertically aligned MoS2 (FLV-MoS2) films can be used to harvest the whole spectrum of visible light (∼50% of solar energy) and achieve highly efficient water disinfection.
