Exploring new two-dimensional (2D) materials is becoming a peculiarly important task due to their potential applications in future nanoelectronics and optoelectronics. In this paper, we propose a stable 2D monolayer B6C2P2 based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) methodology for crystal structure prediction. The monolayer B6C2P2 is an indirect semiconductor with the band gap of about 1.05 eV. We further find that under a biaxial tensile stress with its strain ratio altering from 6% to 9%, B6C2P2 can be transferred from an indirect semiconductor to a quasi-direct semiconductor. Moreover, it can be transferred to metal until the strain ratio goes up to 15%. These properties promote the monolayer B6C2P2 to be a potential 2D material for future applications in optoelectronic devices and nanodevices.

AbstractMonolayer MnCX3 metal–carbon trichalcogenides have been investigated by using the first-principle calculations. The compounds show half-metallic ferromagnetic characters. Our results reveal that their electronic and magnetic properties can be altered by applying uniaxial or biaxial strain. By tuning the strength of the external strain, the electronic bandgap and magnetic ordering of the compounds change and result in a phase transition from the half-metallic to the semiconducting phase. Furthermore, the vibrational and thermodynamic stability of the two-dimensional structure has been verified by calculating the phonon dispersion and molecular dynamics. Our study paves guidance for the potential applications of these two mono-layers in the future for spintronics and straintronics devices.

Porous nitrogen-doped Ti3C2T[Formula: see text] MXene (N-TCT) with a three-dimensional network structure is synthesized via a simple sacrifice template method and then utilized as an acetone gas sensor. By introducing nitrogen atoms as heteroatoms into Ti3C2T[Formula: see text] nanosheets, some defects generate around the doped nitrogen atoms, which can greatly improve the surface hydrophilicity and adsorption capacity of Ti3C2T[Formula: see text] Mxene nanosheets. It resulted in the enhanced gas sensitivity, achieving a response value of about 36 ([Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text] × 100%) and excellent recovery time (9s) at 150[Formula: see text]C. Compared with the pure Ti3C2T[Formula: see text]-based gas sensor (381/92s), the response and recovery time are both obviously improved, and the response value increased by 3.5 times. The gas-sensing mechanism of the porous N-TCT is also discussed in detail. Based on the excellent gas sensitivity of porous N-TCT for highly responsive acetone detection at high temperatures, the strategy of nitrogen-doped two-dimensional nanomaterials can be extended to other nanomaterials to realize their potential applications.

The interaction between the uranyl cation, (UO2)2+, and organic species is of interest due to the potential applications of the resulting compounds with regard to nuclear waste disposal and nuclear fuel reprocessing. The hydrothermal reaction of various uranyl compounds with flexible zwitterionic 1,1′-[1,4-phenylenebis(methylene)]bis(pyridin-1-ium-4-carboxylate) dihydrochloride (Bpmb·2HCl) in deionized water containing drops of H2SO4resulted in the formation of a novel two-dimensional uranyl coordination polymer, namely poly[tetraoxido{μ2-1,1′-[1,4-phenylenebis(methylene)]bis(pyridin-1-ium-4-carboxylate)}di-μ3-sulfato-diuranium(VI)], [(UO2)2(SO4)2(C20H16N2O4)]n, (1). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that this coordination polymer exhibits a layered arrangement and the (UO2)2+centre is coordinated by five equatorial O atoms. The structure was further characterized by FT–IR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The polymer shows high thermal stability up to 696 K. Furthermore, the photoluminescence properties of (1) has also been studied, showing it to exhibit a typical uranyl fluorescence.
