The family of two-dimensional (2D) materials is comprised of a continually expanding palette of unique compositions and properties with potential applications in electronics, optoelectronics, energy capture and storage, catalysis, and nanomedicine. To accelerate the implementation of 2D materials in widely disseminated technologies, human health and environmental implications need to be addressed. While extensive research has focused on assessing the toxicity and environmental fate of graphene and related carbon nanomaterials, the potential hazards of other 2D materials have only recently begun to be explored. Herein, the toxicity and environmental fate of post-carbon 2D materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron nitride, and black phosphorus, are reviewed as a function of their preparation methods and surface functionalization. Specifically, we delineate how the hazard potential of 2D materials is directly related to structural parameters and physicochemical properties, and how experimental design is critical to the accurate elucidation of the underlying toxicological mechanisms. Finally, a multidisciplinary approach for streamlining the hazard assessment of emerging 2D materials is outlined, thereby providing a pathway for accelerating their safe use in a range of technologically relevant contexts.

“…Meanwhile, the bilayers appeared once in a while, indicating that the areas had a rougher surface. Furthermore, the layered InSe has three primary phases (β, ε, and γ), which result from the arrangements of atoms in hexagonal (β, ε) and rhombohedral (γ) crystal structures and the stacking sequence of original layers . Although the β and ε phases have the same hexagonal structure with lattice parameters of a = b = 4.05 Å and c = 16.93 Å, β phase possesses a nonsymmorphic

Recently, 2D materials of indium selenide (InSe) layers have attracted much attention from the scientific community due to their high mobility transport and fascinating physical properties. To date, reports on the synthesis of high-quality and scalable InSe atomic films are limited. Here, a synthesis of InSe atomic layers by vapor phase selenization of In O in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system, resulting in large-area monolayer flakes or thin films, is reported. The atomic films are continuous and uniform over a large area of 1 × 1 cm , comprising of primarily InSe monolayers. Spectroscopic and microscopic measurements reveal the highly crystalline nature of the synthesized InSe monolayers. The ion-gel-gated field-effect transistors based on CVD InSe monolayers exhibit n-type channel behaviors, where the field effect electron mobility values can be up to ≈30 cm V s along with an on/off current ratio, of >10 at room temperature. In addition, the graphene can serve as a protection layer to prevent the oxidation between InSe and the ambient environment. Meanwhile, the synthesized InSe films can be transferred to arbitrary substrates, enabling the possibility of reassembly of various 2D materials into vertically stacked heterostructures, prompting research efforts to probe its characteristics and applications.

“…Photocatalysisis known as an effective and promising technology in solving this problem [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. In addition, photocatalytic materials have been widely used in membrane technology [8] and 2D materials [9,10]. Layered bismuth-based materials, namely BiFeO 3 [11], BiVO 4 [12], Bi 2 WO 6 [13], Bi 2 MoO 6 [14] and BiOX (X = I, Br, Cl) [15], have harvested special interest due to their unique electronic structure and decent photocatalytic properties.…”

Bi6Fe1.9Co0.1Ti3O18 (BFCTO)/NaGdF4:Yb3+, Er3+ (NGF) nanohybrids were successively synthesized by the hydrothermal process followed by anassembly method, and BFCTO-1.0/NGF nanosheets, BFCTO-1.5/NGF nanoplates and BFCTO-2.0/NGF truncated tetragonal bipyramids were obtained when 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 M NaOH were adopted, respectively. Under the irradiation of 980 nm light, all the BFCTO samples exhibited no activity in degrading Rhodamine B (RhB). In contrast, with the loading of NGF upconversion nanoparticles, all the BFCTO/NGF samples exhibited extended near-infrared photoactivity, with BFCTO-1.5/NGF showing the best photocatalytic activity, which could be attributed to the effect of {001} and {117} crystal facets with the optimal ratio. In addition, the ferromagnetic properties of the BFCTO/NGF samples indicated their potential as novel, recyclable and efficient near-infrared (NIR) light-driven photocatalysts.
