Small, 2025
This report validates Sb2Se3 nanorods (NRs) as a potential contender for solar thermal heat generation. The water droplet experiment shows Sb2Se3's light‐to‐heat conversion efficiency as ≈57.8% for red (671 nm), 58% for green (532 nm) lasers. Following this PVDF(M)/ Sb2Se3 NRs hybrid membranes for solar desalination reached ≈59°C in 15 minutes of illumination. The heat generation is dominated by an electron/hole‐acoustic phonon scattering mechanism. Despite having superior visNIR absorption and heat localization in Sb2Se3 NRs, the hybrid membranes show an evaporation rate of 1.72 kg m−2 h−1 only, even if mass loading is increased. The hydrophobic Sb2Se3 NRs layer restricts water diffusion to hot zones, reducing solar evaporation efficiency. A novel macro channel imprinting strategy in hybrid membranes speeds up water transport to the hot zone. Consequently, optimized macro channel membranes achieve ≈2.37 kg m−2 h−1 mass loss and 148% solar evaporation efficiency under a 1000 W m−2 mercury vapor lamp. Therefore, imprinting macro‐channel can be a possible strategy, addressing the hydrophobic materials in desalination applications which can be expanded in other similar materials. Moreover, its outdoor sunlight application achieves impressive solar evaporation efficiency (≈108%). The steam generated effectively removes heavy metals, meeting World Health Organization (WHO) potable water standards.

Journal of Physics D Applied Physics, 2024
Abstract Ti 3 C 2 T x MXenes are of great interest due to their high conductivity, easy synthesis and unique functional properties. Functionalisation and structural engineering are essential for various applications because of their dramatic influences on different chemical and physical properties. Therefore, understanding the mechanism of the etching reaction of Ti 3 C 2 T x from its parent MAX phase is crucial. The structural details also need to be understood for application in different practical devices. In this study, 2D Ti 3 C 2 T x sheets with an average thickness of 3.48 nm and lateral dimension of 5.5 µ m were synthesised by removing Al layers from the Ti 3 AlC 2 MAX phase. The step-by-step etching mechanism was analysed with the help of Rietveld refinement of the powder x-ray diffraction data. The structural details and influence of different functional groups on the surface were also studied using transmission electron microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The magnetic behaviour and magnetic interaction of bare 2D Ti 3 C 2 T x decorated with β -Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets on its surface was studied. For the bare 2D Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene sheets, a weak ferrimagnetic ordering with negligible coercivity was found. However, the β -Ni(OH) 2 -decorated Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene sheets exhibit strong ferrimagnetic ordering with a sufficiently large coercivity of 0.2 T at 2 K and a transition temperature of 246 K. The generation of this interfacial ferrimagnetism is discussed in light of the interfacial charge transfer originating from d-p mixing. These 2D magnets generated at the interface could be useful for application in different spintronic devices.
Facile synthesis of stable 1T′-WSe2 for HER application

Applied Physics Letters, 2024
Researchers are increasingly drawn to WSe2 due to its wide-ranging applications in electronic, optoelectronic, and catalytic materials. Like other transition metal dichalcogenides, it has different polymorphs, viz., 1T, 1T′, and 2H phases. A hexagonal close-packed layer-type structure of 2H-WSe2 is well studied and possesses a semiconducting behavior. However, the literature lacks a detailed study of crystallographic structure, facile synthesis, and different physical properties of 1T′-WSe2 (or 1T-phase). In this article, we synthesized a stable flower-like 1T′-WSe2 nanosheet in a facile solvothermal process. We also tried to explore the structural details using the Rietveld refinement of the powder x-ray diffraction data. The different Raman vibrational modes and phonon calculation based on the density functional theory (DFT) were performed to understand the stability of the 1T′-WSe2 phase. The flower-like 1T′-WSe2 nanosheet shows better catalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with an onset potential of −0.21 mV and overpotential 0.47 mV in comparison with the 2H-phase of WSe2 nanosheet. The DFT calculations also support the experimental data on the HER of 1T′-WSe2, establishing the suitability of the 1T′-phase for HER activity with the lowest value of the change in Gibbs free energy of hydrogen adsorption, ΔGH = 0.43 eV, for the monolayer.
