However, the coupling mechanism between resonantly excited molecules and plasmonics has not been fully understood. In this work, we took viologen molecules within an Au plasmonic nanocavity (AuNC) as an example to illustrate how resonant molecules influence the near-field distributions. We found that the near-fields are highly enhanced and the near-field distributions are altered when the monocationic viologen (V+˙) is in resonance. In the AuNC, the near-field enhancement of a molecule is significantly enhanced by the adjacent molecules. However, the average near-field enhancements experienced by each molecule decrease with the increasing coverage of the molecular monolayer. Furthermore, the contributions of molecules to the near-field enhancement initially increase and then decrease as coverage increases. The interactions between the molecules and the nanocavity exhibit negative contributions to near-field enhancement. Overall, this work offers valuable insights into the impact of resonantly excited molecules on near-field enhancements in nanocavities and offers guidance for tuning excitation wavelength. We propose that the resonance state and coverage of molecules are critical to improving the sensitivity and specificity of PES techniques.","PeriodicalId":93,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Horizons","volume":" 1","pages":" 165-171"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142612947","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}

Although gold and silver nanostructures have been intensively studied, the promising plasmonic, chemical and physical attributes of rhodium remain poorly investigated. Here, we report the synthesis and plasmonic response of spherical Rh nanoparticles (NPs) with sizes in the 20–40 nm range. Due to the high cohesive energy of this metal, synthesis and experimental investigations of Rh nanospheres in this size range have not been reported; yet, it becomes possible here using a green and one-step laser ablation in liquid method. The localized surface plasmon (LSP) of Rh NPs falls in the ultraviolet spectral range (195–255 nm), but the absorption tail in the visible region increases significantly upon clustering of the nanospheres. The surface binding ability of Rh NPs towards thiolated molecules is equivalent to that of Au and Ag NPs, while their chemical and physical stability at high temperatures and in the presence of strong acids such as aqua regia is superior to those of Au and Ag NPs. The plasmonic features are well described by classical electrodynamics, and the results are comparable to Au and Ag NPs in terms of extinction cross-section and local field enhancement, although blue shifted. This allowed, for instance, their use as an optical nanosensor for the detection of ions of toxic metals in aqueous solution and for the surface enhanced Raman scattering of various compounds under blue light excitation. This study explores the prospects of Rh NPs in the realms of UV and visible plasmonics, while also envisaging a multitude of opportunities for other underexplored applications related to plasmon-enhanced catalysis and chiroplasmonics.","PeriodicalId":93,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Horizons","volume":" 2","pages":" 336-348"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/nh/d4nh00449c?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142666658","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, aqueous EESS development faces challenges like narrow electrochemical windows, irreversible dendrite growth, corrosion, and low energy density. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbide and nitride (MXene) have attracted more attention due to their excellent physicochemical properties and potential applications in aqueous EESSs. Understanding the atomic-level working mechanism of MXene in energy storage through theoretical calculations is necessary to advance aqueous EESS development. This review comprehensively summarizes the theoretical insights into MXene in aqueous batteries and supercapacitors. First, the basic properties of MXene, including structural composition, experimental and theoretical synthesis, and advantages in EESSs are introduced. Then, the energy storage mechanism of MXene in aqueous batteries and supercapacitors is summarized from a theoretical calculation perspective. Additionally, the theoretical insights into the side reactions and stability issues of MXene in aqueous EESSs are emphasized. Finally, the prospects of designing MXene for aqueous EESSs through computational methods are given.","PeriodicalId":93,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Horizons","volume":" 1","pages":" 78-103"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142612949","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}

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}
