Exacerbation of anthropogenic emissions, particularly CO2, poses a peril to our planet. Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies offer a promising avenue for combatting climate change by transforming CO2 into valuable resources. Graphene-based materials stand out among the catalysts exhibiting significant potential, owing to the...

The multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) decorated the WTe2 nanostars (WTe2@CNT nanocomposites) are the first time to be employed as the anode candidate for developing the lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery. The WTe2@CNT nanocomposites deliver the high discharge capacity of 1097, 475, 439, 408, 395, and 381 mA h g-1 with an increasing current density o...

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), the two dimensional (2D) nanostructured material holds, to a greater extent, the technological applications in the catalysis, sensors, lithium-ion batteries, and optoelectronic devices due to their unique structure and electrical properties. Recently, the 2D TMD’s tungsten disulfide (WS2) has been regarded a...

This work, we achieved the first-ever demonstration in the polydimethylsiloxane embedded with the abundant single-layer tungsten disulfide (WS2) nanoflowers (PDMS/WS2 NFs) for the degradation of organic dye (Rhodamine B, RB) in dark environment. The degradation ratio of the PDMS/WS2 NFs brick reached ~ 99% and achieved ten cycling test where each c...

Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDS) possess enormous attention in the field of catalysis, optoelectronic devices, sensors, and piezotronics owing to its wide range of chemical, electrical and mechanical properties. Numerous efforts have been made to develop nanostructured TMDS in solution-based methods. Here, we successfully synthesised...

We have demonstrated an ultrahigh degradation activity of the single-layer and few-layered MoSe2 nanoflowers for decomposing the Rhodamine (RhB) dye by the piezo-catalyst effect. The MoSe2 nanoflowers can successfully decompose the RhB dye by 90% in 30 s through the application of the mechanical force (e.g., ultrasonic vibration) in dark. The size...

Two Dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDS) plays an emerging key potential applications in optoelectronics, electronic devices, sensors, batteries, supercapacitors, biomedicine and electrocatalytic and photocatalysis owing its wide range of chemical, electrical and mechanical properties. Until now, a wide range of synthesis approa...
