Instability of 2D phosphorene material is the major obstacle for its broad applications. Herein phosphorene is sandwiched with self-assembled iron porphyrin monolayers on both sides (I-Phene) to significantly enhance stability. Iron porphyrin has strong interaction with phosphorene through formation of PFe bonds.

We report here a rational design by assembling highly π-conjugated and small capacitive gaphdiyne (GDY) with a coordination complex of hemin (HEM) into a molecularly assembled material of GDY/HEM to achieve ultrafast and real-time monitoring of nitric oxide in cell assays. GDY comprising alkynyl C atoms can hybridize with the HEM to enable strong π-π interaction and atomic dispersion of iron sites while avoiding the formation of catalytically inactive dimer for the HEM.

Under microgravity,the astronauts are much easier to decrease the Ca2+ ion in bone, which can cause serious osteoporosis. However the bone lost is not equilibrium, it is especially serious in the mechanism loading bone and the recovery process is more difficult.
