TL;DR: Low onset overpotential and small Tafel slope, along with large cathodic current density and excellent durability, are all achieved for the novel hydrogen-evolution-reaction electrocatalyst.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates the successfully synergistic regulations of both structural and electronic benefits by controllable disorder engineering and simultaneous oxygen incorporation in MoS2 catalysts, leading to the dramatically enhanced HER activity.

TL;DR: High solar photocatalytic activity in ultrathin BiOCl nanosheets with almost fully exposed active {001} facets is achieved and some new and deep-seated insights are provided into how the defects in the exposed active facets affect the solar-driven photoc atalytic property are provided.

TL;DR: The exfoliated black phosphorus nanosheets are demonstrated to be effective photosensitizers for the generation of singlet oxygen with a high quantum yield of about 0.91, rendering their attractive applications in catalysis and photodynamic therapy.

TL;DR: The large two-photon absorption cross section, the high photostability, good biocompatibility and non-toxicity, negligible photothermal effect, and specific interaction with DNA render the single-layered g-C3 N4 QDs as a promising candidate for in vivo and in vitro two-Photon fluorescence imaging and further biomedical applications.
