TL;DR: In this paper, a scalable one-step chemical vapor deposition technique is demonstrated for the controlled etching and simultaneous graphene growth on stainless steel substrates resulting in a 3D micro-mesh architecture that is ideal for high rate/high capacity electrodes; the graphene coated 3D stainless steel current collector is used with an MoS2 electrode material for demonstrating high stability and rate capacity in Li ion batteries.

TL;DR: A lightweight sulfur-selenium (S-Se) alloy is designed with high stiffness and ductility that can serve as an excellent corrosion-resistant coating with protection efficiency of ≈99.9% for steel in a wide range of diverse environments.

TL;DR: In this article, the second harmonic generation in atomically thin InSe is studied and a strong resonance is observed, attributed to interference between distinct surface and bulk non-linear contributions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a reducing agent aqueous etchant is used to convert metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) nanoribbons to a lower oxidation state, thus expanding the defects.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a recyclable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate by modifying functional boron nitride (M-BN) monolayer nanosheets on silver nanoarrays (Ag NRs/MBN) for label-free detection of bilirubin (BR) in complex biological samples.
