Stanene (Sn)-based materials, with a graphene-like hexagonal structure, are now attracting considerable interest for potential applications in photoelectricity. However, the nonlinear optical properties of stanene remain largely unexplored. In this work, we prepared different sizes of stanene by liquid phase exfoliation and differential centrifugation methods, including two-dimensional (2D) Sn nanosheets (NSs) and zero-dimensional (0D) Sn nanodots (NDs).

Heterostacks formed by combining two-dimensional materials show novel properties which are of great interest for new applications in electronics, photonics and even twistronics, the new emerging field born after the outstanding discoveries on twisted graphene. Here, we report the direct growth of tin nanosheets at the two-dimensional limit via molecular beam epitaxy on chemical vapor deposited graphene on AlO(0001). The mutual interaction between the tin nanosheets and graphene is evidenced by structural and chemical investigations.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a critical role in the immunosuppressive solid tumor microenvironment (TME), yet in situ engineering of TAMs for enhanced tumor immunotherapy remains a significant challenge in translational immuno-oncology. Here, we report an innovative nanodrug-delivering-drug (STNSP@ELE) strategy that leverages two-dimensional (2D) stanene-based nanosheets (STNSP) and β-Elemene (ELE), a small-molecule anticancer drug, to overcome TAM-mediated immunosuppression and improve chemo-immunotherapy. Our results demonstrate that both STNSP and ELE are capable of polarizing the tumor-supportive M2-like TAMs into a tumor-suppressive M1-like phenotype, which acts with the ELE chemotherapeutic to boost antitumor responses.

Stanene (Sn)-based materials have been extensively applied in industrial production and daily life, but their potential biomedical application remains largely unexplored, which is due to the absence of the appropriate and effective methods for fabricating Sn-based biomaterials. Herein, we explored a new approach combining cryogenic exfoliation and liquid-phase exfoliation to successfully manufacture two-dimensional (2D) Sn nanosheets (SnNSs). The obtained SnNSs exhibited a typical sheet-like structure with an average size of ~ 100 nm and a thickness of ~ 5.

Stanene is one of the most intriguing two-dimensional (2D) materials because of its nontrivial topological properties. Here, the optical properties from THz to UV of molecular beam deposited tin nanosheets on AlO(0001) are reported. The experimental absorption coefficient cannot be described in terms of metallic tin or tin oxides.
