Noble metal dopants modified two-dimensional zinc oxide: Electronic structures and magnetic properties

ZnO monolayer-supported single atom catalysts for efficient electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction

“…42 The monolayer ZnO is a semiconductor with a wide band gap, and when additional holes or electrons are introduced through heteroatom doping or adsorption, the band gap can be greatly reduced. 43,44 ZnO in various phases and morphologies has long been used as a catalyst or catalyst support. 45 Combining the superior properties of 2D confinement and the stable, economical, and eco-friendly characteristics, the ZnO monolayer serves as a promising candidate substrate for SACs.…”

Intriguing strain-governed magnetic phase transitions in 2D vanadium porphyrin sheets

“…Since the discovery of graphene, graphene or graphene-related two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted striking attention due to their special geometry and unique physicochemical properties. 1–4 In particular, in recent years, with the rapid development of information technology, there has been growing interest in “magnetic” graphene and other atom-thick 2D materials with magnetic features due to their promising potential in flexible spintronic devices. 5–7 Although pristine graphene is diamagnetic in nature, magnetism in graphene or graphene derivatives can be induced by the introduction of defects into the lattice, doping of the graphene lattice with heteroatoms, such as nitrogen and boron, and engineering of edges.…”
