Atomically thin boron nitride (BN) nanosheets have many properties desirable for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). BN nanosheets have a strong surface adsorption capability towards airborne hydrocarbon and aromatic molecules. For…
We have studied the microscopic dynamics of hydrogen adsorbed to bundles of single walled carbon nanotubes using inelastic neutron scattering. Evidence is obtained for much higher storage capacities in chemically treated compared to as…
Carbon nitride two-dimensional (2D) materials are among the most attractive class of nanomaterials, with wide range of application prospects. As a continuous progress, most recently, two novel carbon nitride 2D lattices of C3N5 and C3N4…
