Two-dimensional material-based functional aerogels for treating hazards in the environment: synthesis, functional tailoring, applications, and sustainability analysis

“…As potential semiconductor materials with proper band gap, TMD/TMO, BP, and CN have strong sensing and photocatalytic properties, which promoted their applications for the electrochemical detection and photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. 6,7 As a new type of 2DMs, MXene also reveals high potential in environmental science owing to its layered structure and a variety of interfacial chemical properties. 8 BN has high specific surface area, good compressibility, and adjustable pore structure.…”

Atomically Surficial Modulation in Two-Dimensional Semiconductor Nanocrystals for Selective Photocatalytic Reactions

“…Photocatalysis is regarded as an efficient strategy to directly convert solar energy into chemical energy, which provides a solution to release the increasingly serious shortage of natural resources ( Bai et al, 2017 ; Gao et al, 2020 ). Photocatalytic reactions are mainly driven by photo-induced charge carriers, and the reaction process could be divided into charge generation, separation, migration, and surficial reactions ( Li et al, 2016 ; Gao et al, 2017 ; Yang et al, 2021 ). The utilization efficiency of carriers in each step determines the overall performance of photocatalysis ( Li A et al, 2019 ).…”
