Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are an emergent class of low-dimensional materials with growing applications in the field of nanoelectronics. However, efficient methods for synthesizing large monocrystals of these systems are still lacking. Here, we describe an efficient synthetic route for a large number of TMDs that were obtained in quartz glass ampoules by sulfuric vapor transport and liquid sulfur.

In recent times, EBSD has been widely applied for investigation of irradiated nuclear fuel and matrices for the immobilization of radioactive waste. The combination of EBSD and scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS) methods allows researchers to obtain simultaneously data on a specimen's local composition and structure.

- Porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (SURMOFs) are innovative materials with potential uses in chemical sensing, catalysis, and organic optoelectronics, especially at the nanoscale.
- The study focused on assembling various porphyrins with zinc acetate on graphene oxide templates using layer-by-layer deposition, resulting in uniformly structured films with distinct X-ray diffraction patterns.
- The research highlighted how the structure of porphyrin linkers and metal-to-linker bonding influences film morphology, revealing unique packing arrangements in 2D compared to bulk powders, and offering insights for future development of layered frameworks.
