Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials exhibit immense promise in such fields as biosensing and medicine. The state-of-the-art nanofabrication technology has enabled the integrated in-plane growth of 2D hetero-nanostructures, such as graphene and hexagonal boron nitride. The flexible nature of this lateral hetero-nanostructure opens the door to the innovative design of single-molecule biological devices.On July 14, the research team led by Prof. ZHOU Ruhong from the Zhejiang University Institute of ...

Metal-halide perovskites are a new class of semiconductor materials for LED display and solar-energy harvesting. However, the best-performing devices are often made from lead (Pb)-based perovskites, whose toxicity may cause potential environmental concerns. To resolve the toxicity problem, an effective method has been the use of tin (Sn) as a partial or full replacement of lead in the perovskite materials. This strategy has been particularly successful for perovskite solar cells. However, tin-ba...
