TL;DR: A large area of highly-crystalline MoSe2 atomic layers are synthesized on SiO2/Si, mica and Si substrates using a simple chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method at atmospheric pressure, suggesting that MoSe 2 monolayer is a promising material for photodetection applications.
Abstract: Synthesis of large-area, atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) on diverse substrates is of central importance for the large-scale fabrication of flexible devices and heterojunction-based devices. In this work, we successfully synthesized a large area of highly-crystalline MoSe2 atomic layers on SiO2/Si, mica and Si substrates using a simple chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method at atmospheric pressure. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Raman spectroscopy reveal that the as-grown ultrathin MoSe2 layers change from a single layer to a few layers. Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy demonstrates that while the multi-layer MoSe2 shows weak emission peaks, the monolayer has a much stronger emission peak at ∼1.56 eV, indicating the transition from an indirect to a direct bandgap. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis confirms the single-crystallinity of MoSe2 layers with a hexagonal structure. In addition, the photoresponse performance of photodetectors based on MoSe2 monolayer was studied for the first time. The devices exhibit a rapid response of ∼60 ms and a good photoresponsivity of ∼13 mA/W (using a 532 nm laser at an intensity of 1 mW mm−2 and a bias of 10 V), suggesting that MoSe2 monolayer is a promising material for photodetection applications.

TL;DR: To achieve excellent NIR phosphors, a strategy of enhancing the crystallinity, modifying the micromorphology, and maintaining the valence state of Cr3+ in Ca3Sc2Si3O12 garnet (CSSG) is proposed, and the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) is greatly enhanced to 92.3%.
Abstract: Broadband near-infrared (NIR)-emitting phosphors are key for next-generation smart NIR light sources based on blue LEDs. To achieve excellent NIR phosphors, we propose a strategy of enhancing the crystallinity, modifying the micromorphology, and maintaining the valence state of Cr3+ in Ca3Sc2Si3O12 garnet (CSSG). By adding fluxes and sintering in a reducing atmosphere, the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) is greatly enhanced to 92.3%. The optimized CSSG:6%Cr3+ exhibits excellent thermal stability. At 150 °C, 97.4% of the NIR emission at room temperature can be maintained. The fabricated NIR-LED device emits a high optical power of 109.9 mW at 520 mA. The performances of both the achieved phosphor and the NIR-LED are almost the best results until now. The mechanism for the optimization is investigated. An application of the NIR-LED light source is demonstrated. A near-infrared light-emitting (NIR-LED) diode that emits high-power light could pave the way for the development of next-generation monitoring and detecting devices. Although solid-state NIR-LEDs are used in such devices, their narrow emission band limits their range of applications. Broadband NIR-emitting phosphor-converted LEDs offer the best solution. However, creating NIR phosphors that are sufficiently excited by blue light is challenging. Now, a team of Chinese and American researchers, led by Yongfu Liu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has created a NIR-LED that emits light in the 700–900 nm with an output of 109.9 mW at 520 mA after excitation with blue light. The device has the highest recorded power rating to date and could be used in applications from bioimaging and night-vision technologies, to monitoring food and medicines.

TL;DR: In this article, a template method for fabricating 3D porous graphene nanoplatelets/reduced graphene oxide foam/epoxy (GNPs/rGO/EP) nanocomposites was developed, in which 3D rGO foam embedded with GNPs constructs a 3D electrical and thermal conductive network in the EP matrix.
Abstract: How to rationally design the microstructure of polymer nanocomposites to significantly improve their electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) is still a great challenge. Herein, we developed a template method for fabricating 3D porous graphene nanoplatelets/reduced graphene oxide foam/epoxy (GNPs/rGO/EP) nanocomposites, in which 3D rGO foam embedded with GNPs constructs a 3D electrical and thermal conductive network in the EP matrix. The 3D rGO framework resolves the agglomeration problem of GNPs, acts as an efficient bunch of channels for electrical transport and attenuates the entered electromagnetic wave. Benefiting from this 3D nanohybrid framework, the GNPs/rGO/EP nanocomposites containing 0.1 wt% rGO and 20.4 wt% GNPs exhibit an EMI SE value of 51 dB in the X-band range, an almost 292% improvement relative to the rGO/EP nanocomposites (∼13 dB) and 240% enhancement compared with the GNPs/EP nanocomposites without 3D microstructures (∼15 dB) and an excellent thermal conductivity of 1.56 W mK−1 and electrical conductivity up to 179.2 S m−1. This work provides a new strategy for the design of muti-functional epoxy nanocomposites for EMI shielding and efficient heat dissipation.

TL;DR: In this article, a few-layered Ti3C2Tx MXene was fabricated by ionic intercalation and sonication-assisted method, followed by thermal reduction at medium-low temperature.
Abstract: Few-layered Ti3C2Tx MXene was fabricated by ionic intercalation and sonication-assisted method, followed by thermal reduction at medium-low temperature. Then annealed Ti3C2Tx/epoxy electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding nanocomposites were obtained by solution casting method. XRD, SEM, AFM and TEM indicated the successful preparation of few-layered Ti3C2Tx. FTIR, XPS and XRD showed that thermal reduction removed partial polar groups on the surface of Ti3C2Tx with no by-product. For a fixed Ti3C2Tx loading, compared with Ti3C2Tx/epoxy EMI shielding nanocomposites, the annealed Ti3C2Tx/epoxy EMI shielding nanocomposites exhibited relatively higher electrical conductivity and excellent EMI shielding effectiveness (SE). When the mass fraction of annealed Ti3C2Tx was 15 wt%, the annealed Ti3C2Tx/epoxy EMI shielding nanocomposites presented the optimal electrical conductivity of 105 S/m and EMI SE of 41 dB, 176% and 37% higher than that of 15 wt% Ti3C2Tx/epoxy EMI shielding nanocomposites. Furthermore, the 5 wt% annealed Ti3C2Tx/epoxy EMI shielding nanocomposites exhibited the optimal Young's modulus of 4.32 GPa and hardness of 0.29 GPa, respectively.

TL;DR: SPAdes as mentioned in this paper is a new assembler for both single-cell and standard (multicell) assembly, and demonstrate that it improves on the recently released E+V-SC assembler and on popular assemblers Velvet and SoapDeNovo (for multicell data).
Abstract: The lion's share of bacteria in various environments cannot be cloned in the laboratory and thus cannot be sequenced using existing technologies. A major goal of single-cell genomics is to complement gene-centric metagenomic data with whole-genome assemblies of uncultivated organisms. Assembly of single-cell data is challenging because of highly non-uniform read coverage as well as elevated levels of sequencing errors and chimeric reads. We describe SPAdes, a new assembler for both single-cell and standard (multicell) assembly, and demonstrate that it improves on the recently released E+V-SC assembler (specialized for single-cell data) and on popular assemblers Velvet and SoapDeNovo (for multicell data). SPAdes generates single-cell assemblies, providing information about genomes of uncultivatable bacteria that vastly exceeds what may be obtained via traditional metagenomics studies. SPAdes is available online ( http://bioinf.spbau.ru/spades ). It is distributed as open source software.

Abstract: Luminogenic materials with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) attributes have attracted much interest since the debut of the AIE concept in 2001. In this critical review, recent progress in the area of AIE research is summarized. Typical examples of AIE systems are discussed, from which their structure–property relationships are derived. Through mechanistic decipherment of the photophysical processes, structural design strategies for generating new AIE luminogens are developed. Technological, especially optoelectronic and biological, applications of the AIE systems are exemplified to illustrate how the novel AIE effect can be utilized for high-tech innovations (183 references).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the methods used to synthesize transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and their properties with particular attention to their charge density wave, superconductive and topological phases, along with their applications in devices with enhanced mobility and with the use of strain engineering to improve their properties.
Abstract: Graphene is very popular because of its many fascinating properties, but its lack of an electronic bandgap has stimulated the search for 2D materials with semiconducting character. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), which are semiconductors of the type MX2, where M is a transition metal atom (such as Mo or W) and X is a chalcogen atom (such as S, Se or Te), provide a promising alternative. Because of its robustness, MoS2 is the most studied material in this family. TMDCs exhibit a unique combination of atomic-scale thickness, direct bandgap, strong spin–orbit coupling and favourable electronic and mechanical properties, which make them interesting for fundamental studies and for applications in high-end electronics, spintronics, optoelectronics, energy harvesting, flexible electronics, DNA sequencing and personalized medicine. In this Review, the methods used to synthesize TMDCs are examined and their properties are discussed, with particular attention to their charge density wave, superconductive and topological phases. The use of TMCDs in nanoelectronic devices is also explored, along with strategies to improve charge carrier mobility, high frequency operation and the use of strain engineering to tailor their properties. Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) exhibit attractive electronic and mechanical properties. In this Review, the charge density wave, superconductive and topological phases of TMCDs are discussed, along with their synthesis and applications in devices with enhanced mobility and with the use of strain engineering to improve their properties.

Abstract: Although homogeneous gold catalysis was known previously, an exponential growth was only induced 12 years ago. The key findings which induce that rise of the field are discussed. This includes early reactions of allenes and furanynes and intermediates of these conversions as well as hydroarylation reactions. Other substrate types addressed are alkynyl epoxides and N-propargyl carboxamides. Important vinylgold intermediates, the transmetalation from gold to other transition metals, the development of new ligands for gold catalysis, and significant contributions from computational chemistry are other crucial points for the field highlighted here.
