Two-dimensional materials have excellent electronic and optical properties, suggesting absolute advantages in nanodevices. In this work, a new two-dimensional material with a puckered structure, a CB monolayer, is proposed. The material presents dynamic and thermal stability calculated by first-principle simulations. Interestingly, the CB monolayer possesses semiconductor behavior with an ultra-narrow bandgap of approximately 0.671 eV by HSE06 functional. Meanwhile, the hole in the CB monolayer shows ultrahigh mobility at approximately 6,342 cm⋅V⋅s in decent transport directions, which is larger than traditional transition metal dichalcogenides materials. More importantly, the pronounced anisotropy of mobility of the electrons and holes can separate the photogenerated charges, suggesting the applications for photocatalytic, photovoltaic and optical and cold chain electronic devices. Then, the novel properties of the light absorption characteristic are obtained, and the anisotropic photocurrent implies the CB monolayer can be used as a potential photoelectric device. Our results provide theoretical guidance for the design and application of two-dimensional materials.

In this study, the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of curcumin encapsulated into different lupin protein isolate-based carriers was evaluated by coupling an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion (INFOGEST) with an in vitro co-culture absorption model, Caco-2/HT29-MTX, consisting of both absorptive and mucus producing cells. A targeted ultrahigh-performance quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF-MS) method was applied to monitor the fate of curcumin post digestion and absorption, specifically analyzing the apical, cellular, and basolateral fractions. Lupin protein nanoparticles, obtained by desolvation, protected curcumin from degradation better than oil in water (O/W) emulsions stabilized with lupin protein isolate.

Platinum diselenide (PtSe), classified as a noble metal dichalcogenide, has garnered substantial interest owing to its layer-dependent band structure, remarkable air-stability, and high charge-carrier mobilities. These properties make it highly promising for a wide array of applications in next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices, as well as sensors. Additionally, two-dimensional (2D) PtSe demonstrates significant potential as a saturable absorber due to its exceptional nonlinear optical response across an ultrabroad spectra range, presenting exciting opportunities in ultrafast and nonlinear photonics.
