The synthesis of silicon nanosheets for fabricating electronic devices, without using conventional vacuum processes and vapor deposition, is challenging and is anticipated to receive significant attention for a wide range of applications. Here, we report the synthesis of oxygen-free, phenyl-modified organosilicon nanosheets with atomic thickness. In organic solvents, a consequence of this new silicon structure is its uniform dispersion and the possibility of exfoliation into unilamellar nanosheets. Light-induced photocurrent in [Si(6)H(4)Ph(2)] was observed, leading to the possibility of various organosilicon nonamaterials with useful properties.

Owing to their high sensitivity across a wide stress range, mechanical reliability, and rapid response time, flexible polymer foam piezoresistive sensors have been extensively used in various fields. The reliable application of these sensors under harsh environments, however, is severely limited by structural devastation and poor interfacial bonding between polymers and conductive nanoparticles. To address the above issues, robust MXene/CNT nanocoatings on the foam surface, where the chemical assembly of MXene nanosheets and the physical anchoring of CNTs lead to strong interfacial bonding, are designed and described, which endows foams with structural reliability and unexpected multi-functionalities without compromising their instinct properties.

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation (SDIE) is a green and sustainable technique for desalination. Hydrogel composite evaporators have been widely used for SDIE, but it is still challenging for the hydrogel evaporators to achieve uniform distribution of the light absorbing nanomaterials and at the same time possess satisfactory evaporation rate, durability and environmental applicability. We developed a 3D hydrogel evaporator with an asymmetric structure for high-efficiency SDIE.

Nitrate (NO) is a widespread pollutant in the water environment. Due to its physicochemical properties, such as negative monovalent charge, traditional adsorption treatment processes have low selectivity for NO removal, resulting in low removal efficiency of NO by adsorbents in the presence of interfering ions. Therefore, to improve the adsorption selectivity and efficiency of NO.
