However, despite these advantages, conventional MXene synthesis methods-relying heavily on toxic acid etching-pose serious environmental hazards, undermining their suitability for sustainable energy applications. In this context, eco-friendly and non-toxic MXene synthesis routes have become increasingly critical for enabling the widespread adoption of MXene, driving extensive research into alternative, green synthetic approaches. These recent advances in environmentally benign synthesis are pivotal to unlocking the full potential of MXenes for diverse next-generation battery technologies. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of green and sustainable MXene synthesis strategies, highlighting the latest developments that go beyond traditional fluorine-based routes. Each synthetic process is comparatively analyzed with respect to its efficacy, limitations, and implications for practical application as key functional components in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and post-LIB systems. Finally, we offer a perspective on how the development of eco-friendly MXenes can contribute to overcoming the industrial challenges facing advanced battery technologies.","PeriodicalId":712,"journal":{"name":"Nano Convergence","volume":"12 1","pages":"39"},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144726407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In WBG power semiconductor packages, die attach materials play a crucial role in maximizing device performance and reliability. The die attach interfaces in WBG packages must withstand high operating temperatures (200-300 °C), fast switching frequencies, and great power densities while maintaining excellent thermomechanical reliability. Traditional die attach materials have significant limitations when applied to WBG devices, which has led to intensive research into nanomaterial-based alternatives during the past decade. This review summarizes current state-of-the-art nano-enabled die attach technologies: nanocomposite solders, nano-sintering approaches, and novel nanomaterial formulations specifically engineered for WBG power semiconductor packages. We examine the fundamental mechanisms behind the performance of nanomaterial die attach solutions and their ability to address the thermal management challenges of WBG devices.

A major challenge is their integration with technological substrates, such as flexible polymers and silicon. While multiple strategies for the lift-off and transfer of high-quality oxide thin films have been widely explored, it remains a challenge to easily transfer films with low defect levels. In this work, we introduce a novel and effective strategy for achieving high-quality, freestanding perovskite oxide thin films. We first demonstrate that highly oriented perovskite oxides, as both single-phase films and vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN) films, can be grown by pulsed laser deposition on single crystal NaCl, as not shown before. We next show that the VAN films, unlike single-phase films, can be readily, electrostatically, dry lifted-off the substrate. The success of the lift-off technique is enabled by (i) a high thermal expansion mismatch of the film, producing compression in the film, and (ii) lack of elastic strain relief in the out-of-plane direction in the VAN film. Finally, we show that a VAN cathode film can be incorporated into a proof-of-concept micro-solid oxide fuel cell structure, and that it is of good structural quality as demonstrated by performance comparable to equivalent VAN films grown on single crystal YSZ. Thus, we developed an entirely new way to lift-off and transfer highly oriented oxide thin films for use in a wide variety of electronic applications.","PeriodicalId":712,"journal":{"name":"Nano Convergence","volume":"12 1","pages":"37"},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12274158/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144658055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent advancements in wearable sensing technologies and AI algorithms promise the realization of more powerful wearable gas sensing systems, such as electronic noses. However, fundamental studies are still ongoing in seeking efficient gas sensing materials, transducing mechanisms, and device structures to meet the basic requirement of wearability and low power operation. Low-dimensional metal chalcogenides have attracted significant attention in building flexible gas sensors with room-temperature operation. Their controllable synthesis and post-synthesis treatment allow precise manipulation of the gas adsorption and charge transfer process. Their high surface-to-volume ratio, abundant active surface sites, and tunable electronic properties enable high sensitivity and selectivity, and fast response/recovery even without thermal activation. This review begins with an overview of three transducing mechanisms, providing a comprehensive understanding of the gas sensing process. Aiming at achieving efficient transducers, different types of low-dimensional metal chalcogenides, especially the 0D quantum dots and 2D nanosheets families, have been discussed regarding their synthesis methods and key material design strategies. State-of-the-art low-dimensional metal chalcogenide gas sensors are analyzed based on their modifications to the gas adsorption energy, charge transfer rate, and other fundamental parameters. Moreover, potential system construction towards smart and wearable gas sensor devices has been described with the integration of diversified sensor arrays, wireless communication technologies, and AI algorithms. Finally, we propose the remaining challenges and outlook for developing low-dimensional metal chalcogenide wearable gas sensing and eventually achieving accurate gas mixture classification and odor recognition.","PeriodicalId":712,"journal":{"name":"Nano Convergence","volume":"12 1","pages":"34"},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12246345/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144599063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among lanthanide elements, divalent europium (Eu2+) has recently gained significant attention owing to its excellent photoluminescence (PL) properties, such as a short radiative decay lifetime, narrow PL bandwidth, and wide emission range from ultraviolet to near-infrared. Particularly, colloidal metal halide nanocrystals (MHNCs) offer unique advantages as inorganic hosts for Eu2+ owing to their excellent phase purity, chemical and optical stability, and colloidal stability for facile integration via solution processes. In addition, the PL properties of Eu2+, originating from the parity-allowed 4f-5d transitions, can be precisely controlled by tuning the phase and compositions of MHNCs. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the Eu2+ PL mechanism and synthesis of phase-pure MHNCs is essential for the advancement of Eu2+-based MHNCs as novel emitters. This review summarizes recent developments in Eu2+-based colloidal MHNCs and their PL properties. First, the local factors affecting the luminescence properties of Eu2+ in inorganic hosts are discussed. Subsequently, recent advances in the synthesis of Eu2+-based MHNCs using different host-dopant frameworks, their optical proprieties, and applications are outlined. This comprehensive review provides valuable insights for designing high-performance emitters, particularly for achieving deep-blue emission in light-emitting diodes and high-energy scintillators.","PeriodicalId":712,"journal":{"name":"Nano Convergence","volume":"12 1","pages":"31"},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12206695/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144525920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although graphene has excellent carrier mobility, electrical conductivity, and optical transparency, graphene derivatives such as graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) suffer from significant structural defects and disruption of the sp2-hybridized carbon lattice caused by oxidative processing, severely limiting their electronic and optoelectronic performances. To address these limitations, minimally oxidized graphene (MOG), which includes non-oxidized graphene flakes (NOGFs) and low-oxidized graphene quantum dots (GQDs), has been developed via a nondestructive approach based on ion or molecular intercalation followed by liquid-phase exfoliation. These materials retain the integrity of a π-conjugated network and offer tunable functionalities and solution processability. NOGFs exhibit high conductivity, broadband light absorption, and thermal stability, making them ideal materials for use in solar cell electrodes, photothermal absorbers, and photocatalytic scaffolds. GQDs with tunable bandgaps and abundant functional groups serve as interfacial modifiers in solar cells and as active sites for photocatalysis. This review summarizes recent advances in MOG, focusing on structure-property-performance relationships and applications in solar energy conversion. A comparative evaluation with conventional GO/rGO-based systems is presented along with future directions toward developing high-efficiency graphene-enabled solar technologies.","PeriodicalId":712,"journal":{"name":"Nano Convergence","volume":"12 1","pages":"30"},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12204958/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144504439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
