Freestanding MXene films are prepared using hydrophobic substrates. These films have smooth surfaces with good alignment between flakes. Using pre-patterned substrates, micrometer-scale patterns can be made in the films. Patterned films show a ~38% boost in electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency.

Here, we developed a kinetic model for photocatalyst particles in contact with two-redox potentials, and adopted the principle of detailed balance extended to a locally out-of-equilibrium electrolyte containing multiple redox potentials, the condition typical for photocatalysts.

Here, we demonstrate that exposing SnO2-core/ZrO2-shell films to acid permits photoinduced electron transfer through ZrO2-shells at least 4 nm thick.

We find that Be atoms incorporate preferentially via the nanowire side facets, while the incorporation path through the Ga droplet is negligible.
