TL;DR: This study demonstrates the formation of a flexible and free-standing carbon nanotube-copper oxide-poly-poly(vinylidene fluoride) (CNT-Cu(2) O-PVDF) nanocomposite and its application as an electrode-separator material for Li-ion batteries.

TL;DR: It is shown that the composition of interfacial transition region between semiconducting WSe2 atomic layer channels and metallic NbSe2 contact layers can be engineered through interfacial doping with Nb atoms.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the synthesis of ultrathin tellurium tri-layer flakes with distinct boundaries by physical vapor deposition (PVD) and pulsed laser deposition (PLD).

TL;DR: High-resolution microscopy shows that the carbon atoms have a bumpy ride as they grow out of vapour.

TL;DR: In this article, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are layered semiconductors with indirect band gaps comparable to Si, and the authors evaluate the potential of these compounds by studying the photovoltaic response of electrostatically generated PN-junctions composed of approximately ten atomic-layers of MoSe$_2$ stacked onto the dielectric $h$-BN.
