The mechanical properties and interfacial behaviour of two-dimensional (2D) materials are crucial for their use in a number of technological applications. In this paper, two buckling modes, wrinkling and buckling delamination, were used to characterize the mechanics of AsS nanosheets. The plane-strain moduli of AsS nanosheets along the armchair (AC) and zigzag (ZZ) directions were determined periodic wrinkles to be 16.7 ± 0.5 GPa and 51.5 ± 1.9 GPa, respectively. This is one of the largest reported anisotropies of in-plane mechanical properties among 2D materials. Using the delaminated buckles, the adhesion energy of few-layer AsS nanosheets on silicon and polymer (polymethyl methacrylate and polydimethylsiloxane) substrates was determined to be 0.110 ± 0.006 and 0.022 ± 0.002 J m, respectively. A buckling mode map for AsS nanosheets on different substrates is presented.

Context: The discovery of graphene gave way to the search for new two-dimensional structures. In this regard, octa-graphene is a carbon allotrope consisting of 4- and 8-membered rings in a single planar sheet, drawing the research community's attention to study their inorganic analogs. Considering the promising properties of octa-graphene-like structures and the role of GaAs and GaP in semiconductor physics, this study aims to propose, for the first time, two novel inorganics buckled nanosheets based on the octa-graphene structure, the octa-GaAs and octa-GaP.

The rational design of platinum (Pt) based nanostructures with specific crystal structure plays a significant role in their diverse applications. Herein, the anisotropic superstructures (ASs) of monoatomic Pt-embedded hexagonal close-packed nickel (hcp Ni) nanosheets were successfully synthesized for efficient hydrogen evolution in which an unusual dissociation-diffusion-desorption mechanism played a crucial role. The overpotential for the Pt/Ni ASs to reach the specific current density (10 mA cm) is 28.

Electronic address:
Arsenic sulfide slag (ASS) is typically by-produced from arsenic-containing wastewater treatment. In this work, a novel hydrothermal treatment method with the assistance of Fe(NO) (HT-Fe(NO)) was developed to detoxify ASS by transforming arsenic into scorodite and extracting sulfur in one step. After hydrothermal treatment, As(III) in ASS was oxidized and immobilized into the stable scorodite with a high As immobilization efficiency (~99%), and the toxicity leachability of arsenic-containing solid waste significantly reduced from 634.

Norovirus is one of the leading causes of gastroenteritis, acute vomiting, intense diarrhoea, acute pain in the stomach, high fever, headaches, and body pain. Conventional methods of detection gave us very promising results but had disadvantages such as low sensitivity, cost ineffectiveness, reduced specificity and selectivity, etc. Therefore, biosensors can be a viable alternative device which can overcome all setbacks associated with the conventional method.
