TL;DR: Lin et al. as mentioned in this paper reviewed the most recent breakthrough discoveries as well as emerging opportunities and remaining challenges in the field of 2D materials, including transition metal dichalcogenides, mono-elemental 2D sheets, and several carbide-and nitride-based materials.
Abstract: Author(s): Lin, Z; McCreary, A; Briggs, N; Subramanian, S; Zhang, K; Sun, Y; Li, X; Borys, NJ; Yuan, H; Fullerton-Shirey, SK; Chernikov, A; Zhao, H; McDonnell, S; Lindenberg, AM; Xiao, K; Le Roy, BJ; Drndic, M; Hwang, JCM; Park, J; Chhowalla, M; Schaak, RE; Javey, A; Hersam, MC; Robinson, J; Terrones, M | Abstract: The rise of two-dimensional (2D) materials research took place following the isolation of graphene in 2004. These new 2D materials include transition metal dichalcogenides, mono-elemental 2D sheets, and several carbide- and nitride-based materials. The number of publications related to these emerging materials has been drastically increasing over the last five years. Thus, through this comprehensive review, we aim to discuss the most recent groundbreaking discoveries as well as emerging opportunities and remaining challenges. This review starts out by delving into the improved methods of producing these new 2D materials via controlled exfoliation, metal organic chemical vapor deposition, and wet chemical means. We look into recent studies of doping as well as the optical properties of 2D materials and their heterostructures. Recent advances towards applications of these materials in 2D electronics are also reviewed, and include the tunnel MOSFET and ways to reduce the contact resistance for fabricating high-quality devices. Finally, several unique and innovative applications recently explored are discussed as well as perspectives of this exciting and fast moving field.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the resulting methanol incorporated a substantial fraction of gas-phase O2, suggesting that the controlled breakdown of H2O2 activates methane, which subsequently incorporates molecular oxygen through a radical process.
Abstract: The selective oxidation of methane, the primary component of natural gas, remains an important challenge in catalysis. We used colloidal gold-palladium nanoparticles, rather than the same nanoparticles supported on titanium oxide, to oxidize methane to methanol with high selectivity (92%) in aqueous solution at mild temperatures. Then, using isotopically labeled oxygen (O2) as an oxidant in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), we demonstrated that the resulting methanol incorporated a substantial fraction (70%) of gas-phase O2. More oxygenated products were formed than the amount of H2O2 consumed, suggesting that the controlled breakdown of H2O2 activates methane, which subsequently incorporates molecular oxygen through a radical process. If a source of methyl radicals can be established, then the selective oxidation of methane to methanol using molecular oxygen is possible.

TL;DR: It is suggested that phosphorylation occurs in a localized fashion, resulting in decreased microtubule destabilizing activity near chromatin or micro Tubule polymer, and a spatial gradient of inactive Op18/stathmin associated with chromatinor microtubules could contribute significantly to mitotic spindle assembly.

TL;DR: It is shown that the addition of tin to palladium catalysts coupled with an appropriate heat treatment cycle switches off the sequential hydrogenation and decomposition reactions, enabling selectivities of >95% toward H2O2.
Abstract: The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from H2 and O2 represents a potentially atom-efficient alternative to the current industrial indirect process. We show that the addition of tin to palladium catalysts coupled with an appropriate heat treatment cycle switches off the sequential hydrogenation and decomposition reactions, enabling selectivities of >95% toward H2O2. This effect arises from a tin oxide surface layer that encapsulates small Pd-rich particles while leaving larger Pd-Sn alloy particles exposed. We show that this effect is a general feature for oxide-supported Pd catalysts containing an appropriate second metal oxide component, and we set out the design principles for producing high-selectivity Pd-based catalysts for direct H2O2 production that do not contain gold.
