Graphene oxide/metal nanocrystal multilaminates as the atomic limit for safe and selective hydrogen storage

Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles are poised to transform the automotive industry, but the lack of safe, high density solid state hydrogen storage solutions is stifling progress. Here, the authors develop a graphene oxide/magnesium nanocomposite which appears to overcome many of the existing challenges.

Monolayer behaviour in bulk ReS₂ due to electronic and vibrational decoupling

Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides have emerged as interesting two-dimensional materials. Here, the authors show that in a new member of this family of compounds, rhenium disulphide, the layers in the bulk are vibrationally and electronically decoupled, so that they behave almost as monolayers.

Quantum-coupled radial-breathing oscillations in double-walled carbon nanotubes

Double-walled carbon nanotubes are a convenient system for studying quantum mechanical interactions in distinct but coupled nanostructures. Liu et al.characterize the coupling between radial-breathing mode oscillations of inner and outer walls of many double-walled nanotubes of different diameter and chirality.

Visualizing nanoscale excitonic relaxation properties of disordered edges and grain boundaries in monolayer molybdenum disulfide

Understanding the dynamics of light-induced carriers is vital for employing two-dimensional materials in optoelectronic applications. Here, the authors use a sub diffraction-limit optical technique to reveal the excitonic properties of monolayer molybdenum disulfide at the nanoscale.

Enrichment of molecular antenna triplets amplifies upconverting nanoparticle emission

Lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles exhibiting a 33,000 times increase in brightness and a 100 times increase in efficiency over bare upconverting nanoparticles are demonstrated. The findings are relevant in fields from solar energy to biophotonics.

An atlas of carbon nanotube optical transitions

The results of simultaneous measurements of the structure and optical properties of more than 200 single-walled carbon nanotubes are reported and included in an atlas that allows the chiral index of any single-walled nanotube to be determined from a measurement of its optical resonances, and vice versa.

Tuning colour centres at a twisted hexagonal boron nitride interface

Colour centre emission from hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) holds promise for quantum technologies but activation and tuning are challenging. Here, the authors show twist-angle emission brightness tuning and external voltage brightness modulation at the twisted interface of hBN flakes.

Three-dimensional periodic supramolecular organic framework ion sponge in water and microcrystals

The construction of soluble periodic supramolecular three-dimensional networks is challenging. Here, the authors use an encapsulated dimerization strategy to direct the assembly of a periodic three-dimensional supramolecular organic framework and evaluate its absorption properties.

Identifying substitutional oxygen as a prolific point defect in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides

The nature of defects in transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors is still under debate. Here, the authors determine the atomic structure and electronic properties of chalcogen-site point defects common to monolayer MoSe₂ and WS₂, and find that these are substitutional defects, where a chalcogen atom is substituted by an oxygen atom, rather than vacancies.
