Summary: This article presents the controlled synthesis of highly crystalline MoS2 nanosheets via liquid phase exfoliation and reports the piezoelectric response of the exfoliated nanosheets. The piezo force microscopy method was used to study the piezo response in mono, bi, tri, and multilayers of MoS2 nanosheets. The effective piezoelectric coefficient of MoS2 was found to vary from 9.6 to 25.14 pm V-1. The presence of defects in MoS2 nanosheets, which were formed during the synthesis procedure, was confirmed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Summary: Recently, researchers have found that metallic 1T MoS2 exhibits excellent performance in electrocatalysts, photocatalysts, supercapacitors, and secondary batteries. However, there are limited methods available for synthesizing stable 1T MoS2. In this study, exfoliated MoS2 is used as seed crystals to grow stable 1T MoS2 grains through epitaxial growth. The resulting 1T MoS2 shows a large interlayer spacing, hydrophilicity, and more electrochemically active sites, which contribute to efficient ion/electron transport and structural stability. As an anode material for sodium ion batteries, the 1T MoS2 electrodes can withstand 500 full charge/discharge cycles with minimal capacity loss.

Summary: Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) sheets were obtained by exfoliating bulk powders in a solution containing tryptophan, and then drop-casted onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to form GCE/MoS2. Electrodeposition of amorphous MoSx onto the GCE was used for comparison. Both electrodes were employed for the electrochemical detection of metronidazole (MTZ), but GCE/MoS2 showed superior performance due to its larger surface area, lower charge-transfer resistance, and the presence of edges and defects that facilitated the electron transfer reaction. Impressive linear calibration curves were obtained for GCE/MoS2, with a wide concentration range and high sensitivity.

Summary: Covalently functionalized 1T-MoS2 (Fc-1T-MoS2) nanosheets are synthesized by the chemical reaction between electrochemically exfoliated 1T-MoS2 nanosheets and iodobenzene. The NH2Ph ring functionality and 1T-MoS2 phase enhance the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors, resulting in fast charge transport and high charge storage capacity. Fc-1T-MoS2 exhibits a high specific capacitance of 501 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1 with a capacitance retention of 76.32% after 2000 cycles, which is 2.6 orders of magnitude higher than that of bare 1T-MoS2 nanosheets. This study reveals the effect of MoS2 nanosheet functionalization on supercapacitor applications.

Summary: Reductant-activated functionalization enhances the methylation of ceMoS2 and ceWS2 by introducing excess negative charge for nucleophilic attack reaction. The coverage of ceWS2 increases from 25% to 52% with the presence of reductant, while the methyl coverage on ceWS2 is about 20% lower than ceMoS2 at every potential. Density functional theory calculations show that methylation is thermodynamically and kinetically more favorable on 1T'-MoS2 than 1T'-WS2 due to the presence of more negative charge on 1T'-MoS2. However, this effect is moderated when the reactions are compared at constant charge, emphasizing the importance of comparing reactivity at nominally identical electrode potentials.

Summary: A PPC nanocomposite with highly exfoliated nanoclay was prepared through a solution intercalation process. The highly exfoliated nanoclay contributed to a viscosity reduction and a slight reduction in molecular weight of PPC, with the minimum or critical concentration of nanoclay found to be between about 0.5% and 2.0%. The PPC nanocomposites with lower viscosity showed excellent precursors for making PU coating materials, which exhibited higher anticorrosive properties compared to non-modified PU coatings.

Summary: MoS2 nanoflake, as a semiconductor material with low thermal conductivity, has the potential to optimize the performance of thermoelectric materials. In this study, a mechanical exfoliation method was proposed to mass produce MoS2 nanoflakes, and MoS2/SLNT composites were fabricated by spark plasma sintering. It was found that the heterojunctions formed at MoS2/SLNT interfaces effectively enhanced the Seebeck coefficient without significantly reducing the electrical conductivity. Meanwhile, the thermal conductivity of the composites was significantly decreased due to the phonon scattering induced large thermal resistance at MoS2/SLNT interfaces. The maximum ZT value of 0.24 was achieved in the 1.5 vol% MoS2/SLNT composite, which is 26% higher than the pristine matrix. This work lays the foundation for the application of transition metal dichalcogenides in modulating thermoelectric materials.

Summary: The zinc-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) MOF-5 and Ag@MOF-5 were synthesized via a solvothermal method and used to fabricate hybrid ultrafiltration (UF) membranes with poly (vinylidenefluoride) (PVDF) for water treatment applications. The characterization of MOF-5 and Ag@MOF-5 confirmed their successful production and high crystallinity through ATR-FTIR, XRD, and SEM analysis. The PVDF/Ag@MOF-0.5 hybrid membrane showed superior performance in permeation, fouling properties, hydrophilicity, rejection, flux recovery ratio (FRR), and antibacterial properties compared to bare PVDF and PVDF/MOF-5 membranes. These findings suggest the potential of the PVDF/Ag@MOF-0.5 hybrid membrane for water and wastewater treatment.

Summary: This study investigates the shock behavior of three different polymers through molecular dynamics simulations. The results reveal specificities in the shock behavior of polymers, including deviations from the linear relation between shock velocity and particle velocity, as well as differences in shear stress relaxation behind the shock front. It is found that the deviation of the Hugoniot locus is related to the change in the relative contribution of bonding and non-bonding potential energies, while polymers with higher glass transition temperatures exhibit slower shear stress relaxation.

Summary: The difference in leaching of amylopectin from cellulose/amylopectin/1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim][Cl]) blends during regeneration in water and aqueous ethanol has been studied. Molecular dynamics simulations showed that the dissolution and regeneration mechanisms of amylopectin in [Bmim][Cl] are similar to cellulose in ionic liquids. Water regeneration leads to weak electrostatic interactions, resulting in high leaching of amylopectin. In contrast, ethanol-water interactions enhance electrostatic interactions among amylopectin chains, limiting amylopectin leaching in aqueous ethanol.

Summary: Multi-physical fields solution processing strategy is a universal and facile method for preparing various conjugated polymer films and high-performance devices. In this study, we employed a combined microfluidic flow and ultrasonication strategy (FU) for processing CP solutions, and found a pronounced synergetic effect in promoting the pre-ordering of chains in solution. The conformation order and anisotropy of the solution were revealed through various characterizations. A non-classical nucleation model for polymer crystallization in non-equilibrium solution processing was confirmed. The roles of microfluidic flow and ultrasonication in chain aggregation and crystallization were addressed through multi-physical simulations. Compared to pristine solutions, the FU strategy showed improved solution anisotropy and crystallization kinetics, resulting in higher crystallinity in films and increased mobilities in OFET devices. The FU processing strategy provides a universal approach for regulating chain conformation and aggregation in conjugated polymer solutions.
