2D Monoelemental Arsenene, Antimonene, and Bismuthene: Beyond Black Phosphorus
Martin Pumera,Zdeněk Sofer +1 more
TL;DR: The area of exponentially increasing research in arsenene, antimonene, and bismuthene, which belong to the fifth main group of elements, the so-called pnictogens, is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
2H → 1T phase transition and hydrogen evolution activity of MoS2, MoSe2, WS2 and WSe2 strongly depends on the MX2 composition
TL;DR: The four most widely considered TMD materials: MoS2, MoSe2, WS2 and WSe2 are investigated hereon, with different efficiencies among the four materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Layered transition metal dichalcogenides for electrochemical energy generation and storage
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the diverse electrochemical applications of MoS2, a representative and well-studied TMD, which range from its use as catalysts in hydrogen evolution reactions to its adoption in supercapacitors, batteries, solar cells, and hydrogen storage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Graphenes prepared by Staudenmaier, Hofmann and Hummers methods with consequent thermal exfoliation exhibit very different electrochemical properties
TL;DR: While Staudenmaier and Hofmann methods generated thermally reduced graphenes with comparable electrochemical properties, the graphene prepared by the Hummers method which uses permanganate as oxidant showed higher heterogeneous electron transfer rates and lower overpotentials as compared to graphened by the Staudensmaier or Hofmanns methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytotoxicity of exfoliated transition-metal dichalcogenides (MoS2 , WS2 , and WSe2 ) is lower than that of graphene and its analogues.
TL;DR: It was concluded that MoS2 and WS2 nanosheets induced very low cytotoxicity to A549 cells, even at high concentrations, and the MTT assay is not suitable for measuring the cytot toxicity of exTMDs because inflated results will be obtained, giving false impressions that the materials are less toxic.
