Activation of 2D titanate nanosheet photocatalysts by nitrogen doping and solution plasma processing

Abstract

Solution plasma processing (SPP) can optimize the surface electronic state of 2D titanate, eliminating recombination centers for photogenerated carriers while retaining the strong visible light absorption resulting from N doping.

Two-dimensional carbon/boron nitrides: modification, machine learning and beyond

“…Two-dimensional (2D) materials have LED to pioneering changes in nanotechnology by capitalizing on their thinness, creating new opportunities in numerous advanced applications. 1–4 Compared with bulk materials, the phase space of 2D materials decreases, the thickness becomes thinner, and the shielding effect decreases. This will enhance the quantum effect and correlation in the system and endow the materials with novel electrical, optical, and magnetic properties.…”
