Tuning the Photo-electrochemical Performance of RuII-Sensitized Two-Dimensional MoS2
(2020)Covalently tethering photosensitizers to catalytically active 1T-MoS2 surfaces holds great promise for the solar-driven hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we report the preparation of two new RuII-complex-functionalized ... -
"Turn-on" fluorescence sensing of volatile organic compounds using a 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide Tröger's base functionalised triazine organic polymer
(2019)The 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide Tröger's base functionalized triazine covalent organic polymer TB-TZ-COP was synthesised and employed as a “turn-on” fluorescent and a colorimetric sensor for the discriminative sensing of ... -
Two-dimensional material inks.
(2002)The development of new and more accurate fabrication technologies has, in the past few years, boosted interest in advanced device manufacturing. 2D materials, thanks to their diverse properties and dispersibility in liquid ... -
Two-dimensional materials as catalysts for energy conversion
(2016)Although large efforts have been dedicated to studying two-dimensional materials for catalysis, a rationalization of the associated trends in their intrinsic activity has so far been elusive. In the present work we employ ... -
Two-Dimensional MoS2 Catalyzed Oxidation of Organic Thiols
(2018)Thiol-chemistry directed techniques have been extensively employed to modify the properties of two-dimensional MoS2 nanosheets, aiming to heal or functionalize sulfur vacancies. However, the exact nature of the organic ... -
Two-Photon Absorption in Monolayer MXenes
(2020)Two‐photon absorption (2PA) is a nonlinear optical (NLO) effect that typically occurs in a conventional semiconductor whose bandgap is larger than the energy of one excited photon but smaller than the energy of two photons. ... -
Two-Photon Polymerization of Sugar Responsive 4D Microstructures
(2023)Stimuli-responsive hydrogels have attracted much attention owing to the versatility of their programmed response in offering intelligent solutions for biomimicry applications, such as soft robotics, tissue engineering, and ... -
A two-pronged attack on DNA: Targeting guanine quadruplexes with nonplanar porphyrins and DNA-binding small molecules
(2016)Cancer therapy requires the identification and selective targeting of cancer‐specific effectors. DNA is considered to be a chemotherapeutic target for cancer because of its involvement in cellular proliferation. In ... -
Uncovering the Complex Behavior of Hydrogen in Cu2O
(2011)The behavior of hydrogen in p-type Cu2O has been reported to be quite unusual. Muon experiments have been unable to ascertain the preferential hydrogen site within the Cu2O lattice, and indicate that hydrogen causes an ... -
Understanding and tuning the intrinsic hydrophobicity of rare-earth oxides: A DFT+U study
(2016)Rare-Earth Oxides (REOs) possess a remarkable intrinsic hydrophobicity, making them candidates for a myriad of applications. Although the superhydrophobicity of REOs has been explored experimentally, the atomistic details ... -
