Mixed-solvent liquid exfoliated MoS2 NPs as peroxidase mimetics for colorimetric detection of H2O2 and glucose

Ultra-small molybdenum disulfide nanoparticles (MoS2 NPs) prepared by a facile liquid exfoliation method is capable of detecting the presence of H2O2 and glucose. This novel colorimetric method offers an alternative way to detect diabetes.

Porous carbon nitride nanosheets for enhanced photocatalytic activities

Porous carbon nitride nanosheets (PCNs) have been prepared for the first time by a simple liquid exfoliation method via probe sonication, which showing enhanced photocatalytic activities toward dye degradation and H2 evolution.

Preparation of Graphene-Containing Composite Film and the Research on its Thermal Conductivity

A smooth and flexible carbon film was prepared via liquid exfoliation method followed by liquid evaporation using the natural flake graphite as the starting material. The XRD and Raman results demonstrated that the obtained film is composed of chemically reduced graphene, graphene oxide and graphite. The thermal transport property of the as-obtained film was investigated by light flash measurements. It is found that the as-obtained graphene-containing composite film has a high in-plane thermal diffusivity (2157 m2/s), and the corresponding thermal conductivity (754 W/m K) is higher than the other metal and normal graphite materials, which is very promising for applications requiring 2D heat conduction.
