As a member of the two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide family, rhenium disulfide (ReS) is a highly competitive favorite in the field of photoelectric sensors. Nevertheless, the rapid recombination of electron-hole pairs and poor electronic transmission capacity of pure ReS limit its wider applications. As a new attempt to optimize its inherent structure and challenge its competency boundary, in this work, a bimetallic co-chamber feeding atomic layer deposition with a precise dose regulation strategy has been used to fabricate ReS nanotubes (ReS-NTs) and MoS-ReS heterojunction nanotubes (MoS-ReS-HNTs) based on the anodic aluminum oxide template sacrifice method for the first time. These obtained NTs have at least two advantages: they have a controllable diameter (40-500 nm), definite wall thickness (1 layer to 10 layers), and desirable Mo-to-Re ratio (0 to 90%), and their electron-transfer capacity and photocurrent response can be effectively enhanced by the incorporated Mo atoms. Further experiments indicated that MoS-ReS-HNTs with a real Mo-to-Re ratio of 31.0% exhibits the best photocurrent response performance, by which the ultrasensitive detection of cancer-related miRNA-155 with a linear range of 10 aM to 1 nM and a detection limit of 1.8 aM is achieved.

Fabrication of heavy density mortar using aggregates reinforced with available solid inorganic chemical additives is of a great importance as a protective layer to mitigate radiations in nuclear facilities. The effect of lead oxide and borax decahydrate on the hydration kinetics was evaluated by determining setting time, leachability and compressive strength. To speed up the reaction, 0.

Determining the dissociation mechanism of perchlorate materials remains a top priority to address sustainability, handling, processing, and synthesis issues of new and existing high-energy density materials vital to many industrial processes. We determined the dissociation mechanism of diglycine perchlorate (DGPCl) using vibrational spectroscopy, which unveiled the formation of ammonium perchlorate (AP) and carbon at high temperatures. Our studies establish that DGPCl shows multiple phase transitions upon heating.

The reduced dimensionality of thin transition metal dihalide films on single-crystal surfaces unlocks a diverse range of magnetic and electronic properties. However, achieving stoichiometric monolayer islands requires precise control over the growth conditions. In this study, we employ scanning probe microscopy to investigate the growth of MnI on Ag(111) via single-crucible evaporation.

The synovium is a loose connective tissue that separates the intra-articular (IA) joint compartments of all diarthrodial joints from the systemic circulation. It can be divided into two layers: the intima, a thin and cell-dense layer atop a more heterogeneous subintima, composed of collagen and various cell types. The subintima contains penetrating capillaries and lymphatic vessels that rapidly clear injected drugs from the joint space which may vary not only with drug size and charge but also with the microstructure and composition of the intima and subintima of the synovium.

Two-dimensional molybdenum ditelluride (2D MoTe) is an interesting material for artificial synapses due to its unique electronic properties and phase tunability in different polymorphs 2H/1T'. However, the growth of stable and large-scale 2D MoTe on a CMOS-compatible Si/SiO substrate remains challenging because of the high growth temperature and impurity-involved transfer process. We developed a large-scale MoTe film on a Si/SiO wafer by simple sputtering followed by lithium-ion intercalation and applied it to artificial synaptic devices.
