The widespread use of electronic equipment, such as computers, cell phones, communication devices and wireless facilities, has increased electromagnetic radiation, which can cause cancer and other diseases in humans. Furthermore, there is an urgent need for excluding the interferences in the aircraft and other precise instruments in military aspects. Therefore, minimizing and attenuating electromagnetic waves are critical issues. In this review, various two-dimensional (2D) materials and structures are discussed for microwave-absorbing and shielding in terms of 'thin, light, wide, and strong' requirements. The typical absorption and attenuation mechanisms are analysed and summarized to deliver an overall view and offer possible trends for future developments. Multiple works have revealed that 2D materials and structures are promising for use in microwave devices. In addition to conventional materials with 2D structures, we focus on new graphene-like materials, such as 2D transition metal dichalcogenides and black phosphorus, due to their beneficial absorbing and shielding properties. These 2D materials will likely play an important role in electromagnetic wave absorption and cancellation in the future. Finally, the related challenges and some new 2D materials are briefly discussed.

The transformation of graphite into diamond (2-10 nm) at ordinary pressure by monodispersed Ta atoms was recently reported, while the effects of Ta concentration on the transition process remain obscure. Here, by regulating the Ta wire treatment time, as well as the annealing time and temperature, larger diamond grians (5-20 nm) are successfully synthesized, and the transition process of graphite to diamond is revealed to vary with Ta concentration. Specifically, short Ta wire treatments (5-10 min) induce graphite to form a "circle" structure and transforms into diamond directly after annealing.

Polymeric mixed ionic-electronic conductors (PMIECs) are gaining significant attention due to their potential applications in organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs). However, the performance of n-type OECTs still lags behind that of their p-type counterparts. Here, the structure-performance correlation of fused bithiophene imide dimer (BTI2)-based PMIECs is systematically investigated with the backbone evaluation from acceptor-strong donor (A-SD) to acceptor-donor (A-D), to acceptor-weak donor (A-WD), to acceptor-weak acceptor (A-WA), and finally to A-A structures.

Contrasting Mechanochromic Luminescence of Enantiopure and Racemic Pyrenylprolinamides: Elucidating Solid-State Excimer Orientation by Circularly Polarized Luminescence.

Department of Applied Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Kindai University, 3-4-1 Kowakae, Higashi-Osaka, Osaka, 577-8502, Japan.

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) and mechanochromic luminescence (MCL) have independently made substantial progress in recent years. However, the exploration of MCL in solid-state CPL materials, which holds practical significance, is still in its infancy. Herein, we report the MCL properties of readily accessible chiral pyrenylprolinamides bearing tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) or 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl (Troc) groups.

Innovative anode materials are essential for achieving high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with longer lifetimes. Thus far, only a few studies have explored the use of layered perovskite structures as LIB anode materials. In this study, the study demonstrates the performance and charge/discharge mechanism of the previously undefined Ruddlesden-Popper Li₂La₂Ti₃O₁₀ (RPLLTO) as an anode material for LIBs.
