Two-dimensional (2D) materials are materials with a thickness of one or a few atoms with intriguing electrical, chemical, optical, electrochemical, and mechanical properties. Therefore, they are deemed candidates for ubiquitous engineering applications. Films and three-dimensional (3D) structures made from 2D materials introduce a distinct assembly structure that imparts the inherent properties of pristine 2D materials on a macroscopic scale.

Article Synopsis
- Development of affordable nanocatalysts is crucial for transforming hazardous pollutants like 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) into useful products such as 4-aminophenol (4-AP), meeting environmental and health needs.
- Researchers created a new nanocatalyst called BiNPs@3D-NCTP, which is made of bismuth nanoparticles supported on porous nanoflowers, exhibiting a unique flower-like structure for enhanced surface area and stability.
- This catalyst achieved an impressive 99.85% conversion of 4-NP to 4-AP in just four minutes, showing excellent catalytic efficiency and stability over five reaction cycles.

Energy scarcity and environmental pollution have prompted research in hydrogen generation from solar to develop clean energy through highly efficient, effective, and long-lasting photocatalytic systems. Designing a catalyst with robust stability and an effective carrier separation rate was achieved through heterostructure assembly, but certain functionalities must be explored. In this paper we designed a ternary heterostructure assembly of CdS nanospheres wrapped with hierarchical shell walls of layered MXene-tagged MoS nanoflakes, forming intimate interfaces through an in-situ growth process.

δ-MnO is an important component of environmental minerals and is among the strongest sorbents and oxidants. The crystalline morphology of δ-MnO is one of the key factors affecting its reactivity. In this work, δ-MnO was initially synthesized and placed in an acidic environment to react with Mn and undergo a crystalline transformation.

Electrochemical CO reduction reaction (CORR) offers a promising approach for sustainable acetate production, the promotion of which requires the control of multiple protonation steps. This paper describes the synthesis of atomically isolated Pd sites onto Cu nanoflakes to regulate the protonation of key intermediates. The Pd sites with moderate water activation capability are found to enhance the protonation of *CO at the neighboring Cu site to *COH, which is confirmed to be the rate-determining step through kinetic isotope effect studies.
