Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit excellent electronic and photoelectric properties under pressure, prompting researchers to investigate their structural phase transitions, electrical transport, and photoelectric response upon compression. Herein, the structural and photoelectric properties of layered ZrS2 under pressure using in situ high‐pressure photocurrent, Raman scattering spectroscopy,...
Adhesive materials have played an essential role in the history of humanity. Natural adhesives composed of low‐molecular‐weight monomers have been overshadowed by modern petroleum‐based glues. With the development of green economy, the demand for eco‐friendly materials has increased. Herein, two natural biocompatible compounds, namely thioctic acid (TA) and malic acid (MA), are selected to prepare...
Atomically dispersed metal and nitrogen co‐doped carbon catalysts (M‐N‐C) have been attracting tremendous attentions thanks to their unique MNx active sites and fantastic catalytic activities in advanced oxidation technologies (AOTs) for water remediation. However, precisely tailoring the microenvironment of active sites at atomic level is still an intricate challenge so far, and understanding of...
Organic photomechanical molecular crystals are promising candidates for photoactuators, which have potential applications as smart materials in various fields. However, it is still challenging to fabricate photomechanical molecular crystals with flexibility because most of the molecular crystals are brittle and the mechanism of flexible crystals remains controversial. Here, a plastically flexible...
Switchable spontaneous polarization is the vital property of ferroelectrics, which leads to other key physical properties such as piezoelectricity, pyroelectricity, and nonlinear optical effects, etc. Recently, organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites with 2D layered structure have become an emerging branch of ferroelectric materials. However, most of the 2D hybrid ferroelectrics own relatively low polarizations...
Single‐atom catalysts (SACs) exhibit remarkable potential for electrochemical reduction of CO2 to value‐added products. However, the commonly pursued methods for preparing SACs are hard to scale up, and sometimes, lack general applicability because of expensive raw materials and complex synthetic procedures. In addition, the fine tuning of coordination environment of SACs remains challenging due to...
In recent years, photocatalysis has received increasing attention in alleviating energy scarcity and environmental treatment, and graphite carbon nitride (g‐C3N4) is used as an ideal photocatalyst. However, it still remains numerous challenges to obtain the desirable photocatalytic performance of intrinsic g‐C3N4. Functional group functionalization, formed by introducing functional groups into the...
The efficiency of gas sensors varies enormously from fundamental study to practical application. This big gap comes mainly from the complex and unpredictable effect of atmospheric environment, especially in humidity. Here, the cross‐sensitivity to humidity of a SnO2 sensor from local structural and lattice evolutions is studied. The sensing response of ethanol is found to be efficiently activated...
