Xiao Chen Liu,Shuyang Zhao,Xueping Sun,Liangzi Deng,Xiaolong Zou,Youcheng Hu,Yun Xiao Wang,Ching-Wu Chu,Ching-Wu Chu,Jia Li,Jingjie Wu,Jingjie Wu,Fu Sheng Ke,Pulickel M. Ajayan +13 more
TL;DR: This work reports a unique approach where copper (Cu) atoms from bulk Cu solid intercalate spontaneously into van der Waals (vdW) gaps of group IV and V layered TMDs at room temperature and atmospheric pressure to develop a strategy to synthesize Cu species–intercalated layered T MD compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Graphene: pushing the boundaries.
TL;DR: Grain boundaries in polycrystalline graphene are an obstacle to electron transport, but cunning refinements in growth techniques push the limits to obtain super-sized single-crystal domains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designing nanoscaled hybrids from atomic layered boron nitride with silver nanoparticle deposition
Guanhui Gao,Guanhui Gao,Akshay Mathkar,Eric Perim Martins,Douglas S. Galvao,Duyang Gao,Pedro Alves da Silva Autreto,Chengjun Sun,Lintao Cai,Pulickel M. Ajayan +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a microwave assisted one-pot approach was used to fabricate a novel hybrid nano-composite composed of two-dimensional chemically exfoliated layered hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and embedded silver nanoparticles (SNP).
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-stimuli responsive Cu2S nanocrystals as trimodal imaging and synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy agents
Aby Cheruvathoor Poulose,Srivani Veeranarayanan,M. Sheikh Mohamed,Yutaka Nagaoka,Rebecca Romero Aburto,Trevor Mitcham,Pulickel M. Ajayan,Richard R. Bouchard,Yasushi Sakamoto,Yasuhiko Yoshida,Toru Maekawa,D. Sakthi Kumar +11 more
TL;DR: The simple synthesis protocol, combined with the multitudes of interesting features packed into a single nanoformulation, clearly demonstrates the competing role of this Cu2S nanosystem in future cancer treatment strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Layer Engineering of 2D Semiconductor Junctions.
Yongmin He,Yongmin He,Ali Sobhani,Sidong Lei,Zhuhua Zhang,Zhuhua Zhang,Yongji Gong,Zehua Jin,Wu Zhou,Yingchao Yang,Yuan Zhang,Xifan Wang,Boris I. Yakobson,Robert Vajtai,Naomi J. Halas,Bo Li,Erqing Xie,Pulickel M. Ajayan +17 more
TL;DR: A new concept for junction fabrication by connecting multiple regions with varying layer thicknesses, based on the thickness dependence, is demonstrated, which is only possible in super-thin-layered 2D materials.
