Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have broad application prospects in nanoelectronics, photoelectronics, catalysis, and sensing because they exhibit the characteristics of atomic-thickness crystals. Depending on the crystal structure, 2D materials can be divided into two types: layered materials and non-layered materials. Two-dimensional monolayered materials have excellent physical and chemical properties and potential application values in the fields of catalysis, field effect tubes, optoelectronic devices, spintronic devices, etc., representing a research hotspot in many fields, such as physics, chemistry, materials, and electronics.

This Special Issue aims to collect original research articles or comprehensive review articles covering the most recent progress and new developments of 2D monolayer nanomaterials, including monolayer graphene, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), hexagonal boron nitride, and phosphorene. Original papers in various formats, including full papers, communications, and reviews related to excellent properties; synthesis strategies; as well as applications of 2D monolayered materials can be discussed in this Special Issue.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Lightweight, flexible, and electrically conductive thin films with high electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness and excellent thermal management capability are ideal for portable and flexible electronic devices. Herein, the asymmetric and multilayered structure Ag-MXene/ANFs composite papers (AMAGM) were fabricated based on Ag-MXene hybrids and aramid nanofibers (ANFs) via a self-reduction and alternating vacuum-assisted filtration process. The resultant AMAGM composite papers exhibit high electrical conductivity of 248,120 S m−1, excellent mechanical properties with tensile strength of 124.21 MPa and fracture strain of 4.98%, superior EMI shielding effectiveness (62 dB), ultra-high EMI SE/t (11,923 dB cm2 g−1) and outstanding EMI SE reliability as high as 96.1% even after 5000 cycles of bending deformation benefiting from the unique structure and the 3D network at a thickness of 34 μm. Asymmetric structures play an important role in regulating reflection and absorption of electromagnetic waves. In addition, the multifunctional nanocomposite papers reveal outstanding thermal management performances such as ultrafast thermal response, high heating temperatures at low operation voltage, and high heating stability. The results indicate that the AMAGM composite papers have excellent potential for high-integration electromagnetic shielding, wearable electronics, artificial intelligence, and high-performance heating devices.

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a promising material for thermoelectric power generation. The characterization of thermal transport properties is essential to understanding their applications in thermoelectric devices. The existence of stacking faults, which originate from the “wrong” stacking sequences of Si–C bilayers, is a general feature of SiC. However, the effects of stacking faults on the thermal properties of SiC are not well understood. In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of Tersoff, MEAM, and GW potentials in describing the thermal transport of SiC. Additionally, the thermal conductivity of 3C/4H-SiC nanowires was investigated using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations (NEMD). Our results show that thermal conductivity exhibits an increase and then saturation as the total lengths of the 3C/4H-SiC nanowires vary from 23.9 nm to 95.6 nm, showing the size effect of molecular dynamics simulations of the thermal conductivity. There is a minimum thermal conductivity, as a function of uniform period length, of the 3C/4H-SiC nanowires. However, the thermal conductivities of nanowires weakly depend on the gradient period lengths and the ratio of 3C/4H. Additionally, the thermal conductivity of 3C/4H-SiC nanowires decreases continuously from compressive strain to tensile strain. The reduction in thermal conductivity suggests that 3C/4H-SiC nanowires have potential applications in advanced thermoelectric devices. Our study provides insights into the thermal transport properties of SiC nanowires and can guide the development of SiC-based thermoelectric materials. Full article

This study details microwave-absorbing materials made of natural rubber/nitrile butadiene rubber (NR/NBR) blends with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). The mechanical blending method and the influences of fabrication on the morphology and microwave-absorbing performance of resulting compounds were logically investigated. It was found that interfacial differences between the fillers and matrix promote the formation of MWCNTs and MoS2 networks in NR/NBR blends, thus improving microwave-absorbing performance. Compared with direct compounding, masterbatch-based two-step blending is more conducive to forming interpenetrating networks of MWCNTs/MoS2, endowing the resulting composite with better microwave attenuation capacity. Composites with MWCNTs in NR and MoS2 in NBR demonstrate the best microwave-absorbing performance, with a minimum reflection loss of −44.54 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 3.60 GHz. Exploring the relationship between morphology and electromagnetic loss behavior denotes that such improvement results from the selective distribution of dual fillers, inducing networking and multi-component-derived interfacial polarization enhancement.

This paper presents a physical model that provides a comprehensive understanding of the motion behavior of boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) immersed in ultrapure deionized water and subjected to a series of nanosecond pulses. In a study conducted by Y. Mi et al. The authors explored the global alignment behavior of BNNSs and fitted the experimental data with an exponential decay function. However, this function lacks clear physical mechanisms and the significance of the fitting parameters remains unclear. To address this issue, we have developed a kinetic model that explicitly describes the underlying physical mechanisms. Furthermore, we propose a simplified mathematical model that not only predicts the displacement of BNNSs but also estimates the total time, velocity, and acceleration of the motion process.
