Here we show that by reducing the lateral dimension of correlated antiferromagnet NiPS3 flakes to tens of nanometers and thickness to less than ten nanometers, we can switch-off the bulk spin–orbit entangled exciton in the near-infrared (1.47 eV) and activate visible-range (1.8–2.2 eV) transitions. These ultra-sharp lines (<120 μeV at 4.2 K) share the spin-correlated nature of the bulk exciton by displaying a strong linear polarization below Néel temperature. Furthermore, exciton photoluminescence lineshape analysis indicates a polaronic character VIA coupling with at-least 3 phonon modes and a comb-like Stark effect through discretization of charges in each layer. These findings augment the knowledge on the many-body nature of excitonic quasi-particles in correlated antiferromagnets and also establish the nanoscale correlated antiferromagnets as a promising platform for integrated magneto-optic devices.","PeriodicalId":93,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Horizons","volume":" 1","pages":" 150-157"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/nh/d4nh00390j?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142566503","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}

However, its bulk particle size poses a challenge during electrochemical cycling, and the long ion/electron transport paths within it limit the rate capability. Herein, we propose a structural engineering approach for establishing a well-defined three-dimensional (3D) micro-sized silicon/carbon matrix to achieve efficient omnidirectional ionic and electronic conductivity within micro-sized silicon and effectively mitigate the volume changes. The prepared materials, comprising ordered two-dimensional porous silicon nanosheets, offer direct two-dimensional electrolyte transport channels aligned parallel to the layer plane and porous channels oriented perpendicular to the layer plane. These well-defined omnidirectional pathways enable more efficient electrolyte mass transport than the disordered paths within the traditional 3D porous silicon anodes. A robust carbon shell, securely bonded to silicon through dual covalent bonding, effectively shields these pathways, buffering the volume changes and offering an electronically conductive 3D carbon network.","PeriodicalId":93,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Horizons","volume":" 1","pages":" 172-178"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142612948","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}

Benefiting from its large electrochemically active surface area and well-exposed active sites, the HEPF-2 demonstrates dramatically enhanced electrocatalytic activity in electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia, leading to an improved ammonia yield rate (7.031 mg h−1 mgcat.−1), a high faradaic efficiency (92.8%), and excellent long-term stability, outperforming the irregular HEPF nanoparticles (HEPF-0) prepared without the assistance of PVP.

SLRs emerge from the hybridization of the plasmonic and photonic modes when nanoparticles are arranged into periodic arrays and this can provide feedback for stimulated emission. It has been shown that perfect arrays are not a strict prerequisite for producing lasing. Here, we propose using high-quality colloids instead. Silver colloidal nanocubes feature excellent plasmonic properties due to their single-crystal nature and low facet roughness. We use capillarity-assisted nanoparticle assembly to produce substrates featuring SLR and comprising single nanocubes. Combined with the laser dye pyrromethene-597, the nanocube array lases at 574 nm with <1.2 nm linewidth, <100 μJ cm−2 lasing threshold, and produces a beam with <1 mrad divergence, despite less-than-perfect arrangement. Such plasmonic nanolasers can be produced on a large-scale and integrated in point-of-care diagnostics, photonic integrated circuits, and optical communications applications.","PeriodicalId":93,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Horizons","volume":" 1","pages":" 142-149"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/nh/d4nh00263f?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142520380","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}

Directed and successful engineering of microbiomes via probiotic supplementation requires subtle, precise as well as, more importantly, easy, fast and convenient monitoring of its success, e.g., in patients’ gut. Based on a previously described polyclonal SELEX aptamer library evolved against the human gut bacterium Blautia producta, we finally isolated three individual aptamers that proved their performance concerning affinity, specificity and robustness in reliably labeling the target bacterium and in combination with “contaminating” control bacteria. Using biofunctionalization molecules on gFETs, we could specifically quantify 101–106 cells per mL, retrace their number in mixtures and determine aptamer Kd-values around 2 nM. These measurements were possible even in the context of a real human stool sample. Our results qualify gFETs in combination with BL2, BL7 and BL8 aptamers as a promising foundation for the construction of respective sensing devices, which will open new avenues towards developing an intended monitoring technique for probiotic therapy and microbiome engineering approaches.","PeriodicalId":93,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Horizons","volume":" 1","pages":" 124-134"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/nh/d4nh00281d?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142453664","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}

Rojas and Mohammad Arjmand","doi":"10.1039/D4NH00210E","DOIUrl":"10.1039/D4NH00210E","url":null,"abstract":"In the field of electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding with materials based on highly porous constructs, such as foams, cryogels, aerogels and xerogels, a significant challenge lies in designing structures that primarily absorb rather than reflect incident electromagnetic waves (EMWs). This goal necessitates a dual focus on the electrical conductivity and the internal porosity of the given porous material. To explore these issues, we fabricated various graphene oxide (GO)-based cryogels by molding, emulsion templating, chemically-induced gelation, freeze-casting, and liquid-in-liquid streaming. Following thermal annealing to enhance electrical conductivity for effective EMI shielding, we assessed the physicochemical, mechanical and structural characteristics of these cryogels. Notably, the cryogels exhibited distinct EMI shielding behaviors, varying significantly in terms of primary shielding mechanisms and overall shielding effectiveness (SET). For example, chemically-crosslinked cryogels, which showed the highest electrical conductivity, predominantly reflected EMWs, achieving a reflectance of approximately 70% and a SET of 43.2 dB. In contrast, worm-like cryogels, despite having a similar SET of 42.9 dB, displayed a unique absorption-dominant shielding mechanism. This was attributed to their multi-scale porosities and numerous internal interfaces, which significantly enhanced their ability to absorb EMWs, reflected in an absorbance of 54.7%. Through these experiments, our aim is to provide key heuristic rules for the structural design of EMI shields.","PeriodicalId":93,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Horizons","volume":" 12","pages":" 2234-2247"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142386463","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}
