Hierarchical Fabrication of Plasmonic Superlattice Membrane by Aspect-Ratio Controllable Nanobricks for Label-Free Protein Detection

“…Among the recently developed superlattice materials (Gong et al, 2012;Liu et al, 2016;Lin et al, 2018), the plasmonic superlattice membrane represents a new-generation of the thinnest possible two-dimensional metamaterials. Such a monolayered superlattice membrane consists of self-assembled metallic nanocrystals with closely packed nanoscopic structures and programmable multifunctions (Mueggenburg et al, 2007;Tao et al, 2007;Pang et al, 2008;Cheng et al, 2009;Dong et al, 2010Dong et al, , 2011Chen et al, 2011Chen et al, , 2013Liao et al, 2011), rendering a unique optical signature for considerable scope of applications such as nanoelectronics (Si et al, 2019), attachable SERS substrate (Chen et al, 2015), chiral sensors (Wu et al, 2018), to name a few. Since the concept of a "particle superlattice" was first introduced by Kotov et al (1994), substantial topdown and bottom-up strategies have been developed to build plasmonic superlattices, including the Langmuir-Blodgett technique (Tao et al, 2007), the droplet evaporation method (Mueggenburg et al, 2007;Chen et al, 2011), interface-based assembly (Pang et al, 2008;Liao et al, 2011), and acoustic levitation technique (Shi et al, 2019a).…”

Advances in Liquid‐Phase and Intercalation Exfoliations of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides to Produce 2D Framework

“…[1] Indeed, the science community at beginning of the 21st century was so matured for recognition of 2D mate rials, in the meantime, in just over 10 years, the number of published research papers on graphene risen exponentially to almost 200 000 entries (source: Web of Science). [2,3] Graphene can quite fairly be known as the "Father" of 2D materials, thanks to its remarkable physical and electrical properties such as high electron mobility, incredibly lightweight, and transparent but robust than steel and exceptional thermal conductivity, which provide the potential to revolutionize everything from solar cells to medical equipment. [2,[4][5][6][7] Despite this pattern, a significant number of atomically thin materials have been synthesized comprising metallic A host of innovative developments in technology have led by 2D materials owing to their remarkable electronic and physical properties which opens doors for advanced research areas and horizons of material science.…”

“…[10,11] 2D materials are reflected as superstars of the material world and can modernize to every aspect from digital electronics to energy storage and vital to their incredible physical/electronic properties. [2,12,13] Encompassing layers at atomically thick, these crystalline materials are meritoriously over whole surface, it gives them not only a vast surface area for molecular interaction and reaction with physical forces but also influenced quantum confinement effects which provide properties that can vary drastically from their 3D counterparts.

Covalent-Cross-Linked Plasmene Nanosheets

“…Using thiol-polystyrene (SH-PS) as the generic model ligands, this system can in principle be designed by rich “plasmonic atoms” in the so-called “plasmonic periodic table”, including nanospheres, nanorods, nanocubes, nanobipyramids, nanotrisoctahedrons, etc . The sizes, ,,− shapes, ,− and even orientations of constituent building blocks , in the plasmene nanosheets can be modulated and give rise to various applications in soft surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), , anticounterfeiting, ionic gating, flat lenses, folding plasmonics, doping plasmonics, asymmetric nanocrystal growth, and memory devices . However, despite the promising applicable prospects of plasmene nanosheets, it remains challenging to maintain their structural integrity in various solvents.…”
