Interface-rich porous Fe-doped hcp-PtBi/fcc-Pt heterostructured nanoplates enhanced the CC bond cleavage of C3 alcohols electrooxidation.

Efficient CC bond cleavage and the complete oxidation of alcohols are key to improving the efficiency of renewable energy utilization. Herein, we successfully prepare porous Fe-doped hexagonal close-packed (hcp)-PtBi/face-centered cubic (fcc)-Pt heterostructured nanoplates with abundant grain/phase interfaces (h-PtBi/f-Pt@Fe1.7 PNPs) via a simple solvothermal method. The open porous structure, abundant grain/phase interface and stacking fault defects, and the synergistic effect between intermetallic hcp-PtBi and fcc-Pt make h-PtBi/f-Pt@Fe1.7 PNPs an effective electrocatalyst for the glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR) in direct glycerol fuel cells (DGFCs). Notably, the h-PtBi/f-Pt@Fe1.7 PNPs exhibit an excellent mass activity of 7.6 A mgPt-1 for GOR, 4.75-fold higher than that of commercial Pt black in an alkaline medium. Moreover, the h-PtBi/f-Pt@Fe1.7 PNPs achieve higher power density (125.8 mW cm-2) than commercial Pt/C (81.8 mW cm-2) in a single DGFC. The h-PtBi/f-Pt@Fe1.7 PNPs can also effectively catalyze the electrochemical oxidation of 1-propanol (17.1 A mgPt-1), 1,2-propanediol (7.2 A mgPt-1), and 1,3-propanediol (5.2 A mgPt-1). The in-situ Fourier-transform infrared spectra further reveal that the CC bond of glycerol, 1-propanol, 1,2-propanediol, and 1,3-propanediol was dissociated for the complete oxidation by the h-PtBi/f-Pt@Fe1.7 PNPs. This study provides a new class of porous Pt-based heterostructure nanoplates and insight into the intrinsic activity of different C3 alcohols.

Ultrastrong Nanopapers with Aramid Nanofibers and Silver Nanowires Reinforced by Cellulose Nanofibril-Assisted Dispersed Graphene Nanoplates for Superior Electromagnetic Interference Shielding.

High-strength, lightweight, ultrathin, and flexible electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials with a high shielding effectiveness (SE) are essential for modern integrated electronics. Herein, cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are employed to homogeneously disperse graphene nanoplates (GNPs) into an aramid nanofiber (ANF) network and silver nanowire (AgNW) network, respectively, producing high-performance nanopapers. These nanopapers, featuring nacre-mimetic microstructures and layered architectures, exhibited high tensile strength (601.11 MPa) and good toughness (103.56 MJ m-3) with a thickness of only 24.58 µm. Their specific tensile strength reaches 447.59 MPa·g-1·cm3, which is 1.74 times that of titanium alloys (257 MPa·g-1·cm3). The AgNW/GNP composite conductive layers exhibit an electrical conductivity of 12010.00 S cm-1, providing the nanopapers with great EMI shielding performance, achieving an EMI SE of 63.87 dB and an EMI SE/t of 25978.80 dB cm-1. The nanopapers also show reliable durability, retaining a tensile strength of 500.96 MPa and an EMI SE of 57.59 dB after 120,000 folding cycles. Additionally, they have a good electrical heating performance with a fast response time, low driving voltage, effective deicing capability, and reliable heating capacity in water. This work presents a strategy to develop a high-performance nanopaper, showing great potential for applications in electromagnetic compatibility, national defense, smart electronics, and human health.

ZnO Hexagonal Nano- and Microplates Modified with Nanomaterials as a Gas-Sensitive Material for DMS Detection-Extended Studies.

The detection of dimethyl sulphide (DMS) at levels between ppb and ppm is a significant area of research due to the necessity of monitoring the presence of this gas in a variety of environments. These include environmental protection, industrial safety and medical diagnostics. Issues related to certain uncertainties concerning the influence of high humidity on DMS measurements with resistive gas sensors, e.g., in the detection of this marker in exhaled air, of the still unsatisfactory lower detection limit of DMS are the subject of intensive research. This paper presents the results of modifying the composition of the ZnO-based sensor layer to develop a DMS sensor with higher sensitivity and lower detection limit (LOD). Improved performance was achieved by using ZnO in the form of hexagonal nano- and microplates doped with gold nanoparticles (0.75 wt.%) and by using a well-proven sepiolite-based passive filter. The modification of the layer composition with respect to the authors' previous studies contributed to the development of a sensor that is highly sensitive to 1 ppm DMS (S = 11.4) and achieves an LOD of up to 406 ppb, despite the presence of a high water vapour content (90% RH) in the analysed atmosphere.

Pd Nanoparticles Loaded on Cu Nanoplate Sensor for Ultrasensitive Detection of Dopamine.

The detection of dopamine is of great significance for human health. Herein, Pd nanoparticles were loaded on Cu nanoplates (Pd/Cu NPTs) by a novel liquid phase reduction method. A novel dopamine (DA) electrochemical sensor based on the Pd NPs/Cu/glass carbon electrode (Pd/Cu NPTs/GCE) was constructed. This sensor showed a wide linear range of 0.047 mM to 1.122 mM and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.1045 µM (S/N = 3) for DA. The improved performance of this sensor is attributed to the obtained tiny Pd nanoparticles which increase the catalytic active sites and electrochemical active surface areas (ECSAs). Moreover, the larger surface area of two-dimensional Cu nanoplates can load more Pd nanoparticles, which is another reason to improve performance. The Pd/Cu NPTs/GCE sensor also showed a good reproducibility, stability, and excellent anti-interference ability.

S/N Co-Doped Ultrathin TiO2 Nanoplates as an Anode Material for Advanced Sodium-Ion Hybrid Capacitors.

Anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) has emerged as a potential anode material for sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SICs) in terms of its nontoxicity, high structure stability and cost-effectiveness. However, its inherent poor electrical conductivity and limited reversible capacity greatly hinder its practical application. Here, ultrathin TiO2 nanoplates were synthesized utilizing a hydrothermal technique. The electrochemical kinetics and reversible capacity were significantly improved through sulfur and nitrogen co-doping combined with carbon coating (SN-TiO2/C). Sulfur and nitrogen co-doping generated oxygen vacancies and introduced additional active sites within TiO2, facilitating accelerated Na-ion diffusion and enhancing its reversible capacity. Furthermore, carbon coating provided stable support for electron transfer in SN-TiO2/C during repeated cycling. This synergistic strategy of sulfur and nitrogen co-doping with carbon coating for TiO2 led to a remarkable capacity of 335.3 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, exceptional rate property of 148.3 mAh g-1 at 15 A g-1 and a robust cycling capacity. Thus, the SN-TiO2/C//AC SIC delivered an impressive energy density of 177.9 W h kg-1. This work proposes an idea for the enhancement of reaction kinetics for energy storage materials through a synergistic strategy.

Dynamic response of sandwich functionally graded nanoplate under thermal environments and elastic foundations using dynamic stiffness method.

The present paper introduces the development of dynamic stiffness method for analyzing small-scale sandwich functionally graded nanoplates resting on elastic foundation in thermal environments. The mathematical formulation is based on classical plate theory in conjunction with nonlocal elasticity theory. The governing equation is derived using Hamilton's principle. The dynamic stiffness matrix is obtained through the application of the Levy displacement approach and assembled to form the global stiffness matrix. The final matrix is solved for natural frequency of the plates using the Wittrick-Williams algorithm. The proposed methodology is validated against existing literature, demonstrating a strong agreement. Various parametric studies explore the effects of thermal environments, volume fraction index, sandwich configurations, elastic foundation characteristics, nonlocal parameter and boundary conditions. The results show the versatility of the proposed approach in addressing small scaled complex engineering structures. This research significantly contributes to the understanding and analysis of sandwich functionally graded nanoplates, providing valuable insights for applications in aerospace, structural systems, sensors, actuators, and energy harvesting devices.

The Growth and Shape Evolution of Indium Nanoplates Studied by In Situ Liquid Cell TEM.

Understanding the growth mechanisms of nanomaterials is crucial for effectively controlling their morphology which may affect their properties. Here, the growth process of indium nanoplates is studied using in situ liquid cell transmission electron microscopy. Quantitative analysis shows that the growth of indium nanoplate is limited by surface reaction. Besides, the growth process has two stages, which is different from that of other metal nanoplates reported previously. At the first stage, indium particles transform gradually from face-centered cubic to body-centered tetragonal (bct) structure as the seeds grow. At the second stage, the seeds grow faster than at the first stage and form indium triangular nanoplates. Indium triangular nanoplates have a bct structure with {011}-twin, which is found to form through kinetic reactions. In addition, the shape evolution of truncated triangle nanoplate with multiple twin planes is studied. The growth rate of truncated edge changes with the varied number of re-entrant grooves. The present work provides valuable insights into the growth mechanism of metal nanoplates with low-symmetric structure and the role of twin planes in the shape evolution of plate-like metal nanomaterials.

Pyramid Textured Photonic Films with High-Refractive Index Fillers for Efficient Radiative Cooling.

Sub-ambient cooling technologies relying on passive radiation have garnered escalating research attention owing to the challenges posed by global warming and substantial energy consumption inherent in active cooling systems. However, achieving highly efficient radiative cooling devices capable of effective heat dissipation remains a challenge. Herein, by synergic optimization of the micro-pyramid surface structures and 2D hexagonal boron nitride nanoplates (h-BNNs) scattering fillers, pyramid textured photonic films with remarkable solar reflectivity of 98.5% and a mid-infrared (MIR) emittance of 97.2% are presented. The h-BNNs scattering filler with high thermal conductivity contributed to the enhanced through-plane thermal conductivity up to 0.496 W m-1 K-1 and the in-plane thermal conductivity of 3.175 W m-1 K-1. The photonic films exhibit an optimized effective radiative cooling power of 201.2 W m-2 at 40 °C under a solar irradiance of 900 W m-2 and a daily sub-ambient cooling effect up to 11 °C. Even with simultaneous internal heat generation by a 10 W ceramic heater and external solar irradiance of 500 W m-2, a sub-ambient cooling of 5 °C can be realized. The synergic matching strategy of high thermal conductivity scattering fillers and microstructured photonic surfaces holds promise for scalable sub-ambient radiative cooling technologies.

Highly Stable, Bending-Tolerant, and Sustainable Flexible Heater through a Scalable Papermaking Procedure.

Flexible electrothermal heaters have attracted abundant attention in recent years due to their wide applications, but their preparation with high efficiency remains a challenge. Here in this work, a highly stable and bending-tolerant flexible heater was fabricated with graphite nanosheets and cellulose fibers through a scalable papermaking procedure. Its electrothermal property can be enhanced by a hot-pressing treatment and introduction of cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) during the papermaking protocol. The flexible heater may quickly reach its maximum temperature of 239.8 °C in around 1 min at a voltage of 9 V. The power density was up to 375.3 °C cm2 w-1. It appeared to have a high tolerance for bending deformation with various curvatures, and the temperature remained stable even under 100 bending with frequency of around 0.17 Hz. Over 100 alternatively heating and cooling cycles, it worked stably as well. It was proved to be used as wearable heating equipment, soft heaters, and aircraft deicing devices, suggesting its great prospect in the field of heat management.

Unlocking the Potential of Bi2S3-Derived Bi Nanoplates: Enhanced Catalytic Activity and Selectivity in Electrochemical and Photoelectrochemical CO2 Reduction to Formate.

Various electrocatalysts are extensively examined for their ability to selectively produce desired products by electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). However, an efficient CO2RR electrocatalyst doesn't ensure an effective co-catalyst on the semiconductor surface for photoelectrochemical CO2RR. Herein, Bi2S3 nanorods are synthesized and electrochemically reduced to Bi nanoplates that adhere to the substrates for application in the electrochemical and photoelectrochemical CO2RR. Compared with commercial-Bi, the Bi2S3-derived Bi (S-Bi) nanoplates on carbon paper exhibit superior electrocatalytic activity and selectivity for formate (HCOO-) in the electrochemical CO2RR, achieving a Faradaic efficiency exceeding 93%, with minimal H2 production over a wide potential range. This highly selective S-Bi catalyst is being employed on the Si photocathode to investigate the behavior of electrocatalysts during photoelectrochemical CO2RR. The strong adhesion of the S-Bi nanoplates to the Si nanowire substrate and their unique catalytic properties afford exceptional activity and selectivity for HCOO- under simulated solar irradiation. The selectivity observed in electrochemical CO2RR using the S-Bi catalyst correlates with that seen in the photoelectrochemical CO2RR system. Combined pulsed potential methods and theoretical analyses reveal stabilization of the OCHO* intermediate on the S-Bi catalyst under specific conditions, which is critical for developing efficient catalysts for CO2-to-HCOO- conversion.

Fabrication of SERS composite substrates using Ag nanotriangles-modified SiO2 photonic crystal and the application of malachite green detection.

A novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) composite substrates on the basis of Ag triangular nanoplates(Ag TNPs)-modified SiO2 photonic crystals (PC) is fabricated and applied to the SERS detection of malachite green (MG). It consists of uniformly arranged Ag TNP@SiO2, a new PC. Notably, Ag TNP are uniformly aligned on the SiO2 surface, forming a three-dimensional high-density hotspot nanostructure. With the tip "hot spots" of Ag TNPs, Bragg diffraction of SiO2 and coupling enhancement between Ag TNPs and SiO2, the SERS enhancement of this composite substrates was multiplied. The effect on the SERS of Ag TNP@SiO2 composite substrate was systematically optimized by tuning Ag TNP size, size of SiO2 microspheres, coverage of Ag TNPs on SiO2 and fabrication method of Ag TNPs and PC. Moreover, the uniform of SERS composite substrates and Raman signal was dramatically increased by the method of vertical deposition. Eventually, the SERS composite substrates were employed in MG detection. Its broad detection range of 1 pM-1 µM and low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.49 pM indicated acceptable sensitivity and repeatability. This work illustrates the promising applicability in food safety analysis based on SERS composite substrates composed by Ag TNP@SiO2 with numerous SERS enhancements and excellent stability.

Enhanced Mass Activity and Durability of Bimetallic Pt-Pd Nanoparticles on Sulfated-Zirconia-Doped Graphene Nanoplates for Oxygen Reduction Reaction in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Applications.

Developing highly active and durable Pt-based electrocatalysts is crucial for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. This study focuses on the performance of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts composed of Pt-Pd alloy nanoparticles on graphene nanoplates (GNPs) anchored with sulfated zirconia nanoparticles. The results of field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy showed that Pt-Pd and S-ZrO2 are well dispersed on the surface of the GNPs. X-ray diffraction revealed that the S-ZrO2 and Pt-Pd alloy coexist in the Pt-Pd/S-ZrO2-GNP nanocomposites without affecting the crystalline lattice of Pt and the graphitic structure of the GNPs. To evaluate the electrochemical activity and reaction kinetics for ORR, we performed cyclic voltammetry, rotating disc electrode, and EIS experiments in acidic solutions at room temperature. The findings showed that Pt-Pd/S-ZrO2-GNPs exhibited a better ORR performance than the Pt-Pd catalyst on the unsulfated ZrO2-GNP support and with Pt on S-ZrO2-GNPs and commercial Pt/C.

WO3 Nanoplates Decorated with Au and SnO2 Nanoparticles for Real-Time Detection of Foodborne Pathogens.

Nowadays, metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors have diverse applications ranging from human health to smart agriculture with the development of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. However, high operating temperatures and an unsatisfactory detection capability (high sensitivity, fast response/recovery speed, etc.) hinder their integration into the IoT. Herein, a ternary heterostructure was prepared by decorating WO3 nanoplates with Au and SnO2 nanoparticles through a facial photochemical deposition method. This was employed as a sensing material for 3-hydroxy-2-butanone (3H-2B), a biomarker of Listeria monocytogenes. These Au/SnO2-WO3 nanoplate-based sensors exhibited an excellent response (Ra/Rg = 662) to 25 ppm 3H-2B, which was 24 times higher than that of pure WO3 nanoplates at 140 °C. Moreover, the 3H-2B sensor showed an ultrafast response and recovery speed to 25 ppm 3H-2B as well as high selectivity. These excellent sensing performances could be attributed to the rich Au/SnO2-WO3 active interfaces and the excellent transport of carriers in nanoplates. Furthermore, a wireless portable gas sensor equipped with the Au/SnO2-WO3 nanoplates was assembled, which was tested using 3H-2B with known concentrations to study the possibilities of real-time gas monitoring in food quality and safety.

Thin-Film-Assisted Photothermal Deformation of Gold Nanoparticles: A Facile and In-Situ Strategy for Single-Plate-Based Devices.

Optical-induced shape transformation of single nanoparticles on substrates has shown benefits of simplicity and regularity for single-particle device fabrication and on-chip integration. However, most of the existing strategies are based on wet chemical growth and etching, which could lead to surface contamination with limited local selectivity and device compatibility. Shape deformation via the photothermal effect can overcome these issues but has limited versatility and tunability largely due to the high surface tension of the molten droplet. Here we show gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) can drastically transform into nanoplates under the irradiation of a continuous wave laser (446 nm). We reveal the dielectric thin film underneath the molten Au is critical in deforming the NP into faceted nanoplate under the drive of photothermophoretic forces, which is sufficient to counteract the surface tension of the molten droplet. Both experimental evidence and simulations support this thin-film-assisted photothermal deformation mechanism, which is local selective and generally applicable to differently shaped Au NPs. It provides a facile and robust strategy for single-plate-based device applications.

Flexoelectric and size-dependent effects on hygro-thermal vibration of variable thickness fluid-infiltrated porous metal foam nanoplates.

The Galerkin-Vlasov approach based on the improved first-order shear deformation theory (i-FSDT) and nonlocal elasticity theory are proposed to investigate the free vibration response of variable-thickness fluid-infiltrated porous metal foam (FPMF) nanoplates with flexoelectricity effect resting on Pasternak elastic foundation in the hygro-thermal environment. The FPMF nanoplate thickness varies according to both the length and width directions. The novelty of the present work is to consider the influence of the nonlocal's spatial variation and flexoelectric coefficients on the free vibration behavior of the nanoplates. Based on Hamilton's principle, the governing equation of FPMF nanoplate is established. The accuracy of the proposed method is checked by comparing the obtained results with those of available work in the literature. The effects of the parameters such as the flexoelectric coefficient, nonlocal coefficient, porosity coefficient, Skempton factor, temperature and moisture, thickness variation, and various boundary conditions on the natural frequency of the nanoplate are examined.

First nanoplate digital PCR method to trace allergenic foods: Improved sensitivity for the detection of sesame.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an important allergenic food whose presence can be the cause of severe allergic reactions in sensitised individuals. In this work, nanoplate digital PCR (ndPCR) was used to develop two methods to detect trace amounts of sesame in processed foods and compared with previously proposed real-time PCR assays. Two independent ndPCR approaches were successfully advanced, achieving sensitivities of 5 and 0.1 mg/kg of sesame in dough/biscuits, targeting the CO6b-1 and ITS regions, respectively. The sensitivity using both targets was improved by one order of magnitude comparing with real-time PCR and was not affected by food processing. CO6b-1 system was not influenced by food matrix, exhibiting similar performance regardless the use of complex matrix extracts or serial diluted DNA. Herein, ndPCR was proposed for the first time for the detection of allergenic foods with the advantage of providing better performance than real-time PCR regarding sensitivity and robustness.

Naked-eye rapid recognition of tyrosine enantiomers using silver triangular nanoplates as colorimetric probe.

Recognizing and quantifying enantiomers of chiral molecule is of great importance in chemical, biological and pharmaceutical fields. Herein, we presented one simple-yet-efficient method of sensing tyrosine (Tyr) enantiomers. In this sensing, silver triangular nanoplates (AgTNPs) were used as colorimetric probes. L-Tyr quickly induced the color of AgTNPs solution to change from dark blue to light gray, whereas D-Tyr induced no change of the AgTNPs solution color. The obvious color change enables the naked eye to recognize Tyr enantiomer. The visual method was used to detect the enantiometric excess value of L-Tyr in the whole range (-100 % ∼ 100 %). This chiral sensing can be finished within 5 min using one simple ultraviolet-visible spectrometer or naked eye. Furthermore, the mechanism of this chiral sensing was explored. It was confirmed that this chiral sensing was based on AgTNPs' intrinsic chirality. This chiral sensing is rapid, simple, and low-cost, and has great potential for chiral determination of Tyr.

Experimental and theoretical revealing of piezo-photocatalyst Bi2O2CO3 for degradation of ciprofloxacin in water.

In this report, we have attempted to experimentally and theoretically reveal a new piezo-photocatalyst Bi2O2CO3 for efficient removal of ciprofloxacin (CIP) from water. Bi2O2CO3 nanoplates were synthesized to evaluate their photocatalytic (irradiation source: simulated-sunlight), piezocatalytic (irradiation source: ultrasonic) and piezo-photocatalytic (irradiation source: simulated-sunlight and ultrasonic) performances for CIP elimination. Under the condition CCIP = 10 mg/L and Ccatalyst = 1 g/L, the piezo-photodegradation rate constant is obtained as kapp = 0.07811 min-1, which surpasses that of photocatalysis (kapp = 0.04686 min-1) and piezocatalysis (kapp = 0.01233 min-1); this phenomenon manifests an obvious piezo-enhanced photocatalytic behavior in terms of the "1 + 1 > 2" principle. The ultrasonic-induced piezoelectric behavior in Bi2O2CO3 nanoplates and involved piezo-photocatalytic mechanism were theoretically elucidated by density functional theory (DFT) and finite-element method (FEM) studies. Additionally, the effects of various factors on the CIP degradation, decomposition mechanism of CIP and toxicity of the decomposition intermediates were also analyzed.

Nanosheet g-C3N4 enhanced by Bi2MoO6 for highly efficient photocatalysts toward photodegradation of Rhodamine-B dye.

The investigation of a proficient photocatalytic system for the degradation of organic pollutants holds significant importance in the field of environmental management. This study presents a binary type II heterojunction photocatalyst, Bi2MoO6/g-C3N4 which is synthesized using an eco-friendly ultrasonic-assisted method. Various characterization methods (XRD, FTIR, XPS, BET, TEM, UV-vis, and PL) are used to investigate the crystalline structures, composition, surface analysis, morphology, and optical properties of the photocatalyst. All the Bi2MoO6/g-C3N4 nanocomposites show better photocatalytic activity for Rhodamine B dye (Rh-B) degradation under Ultraviolet light irradiation than the pure g-C3N4. The photocatalytic activity of the 10 % Bi2MoO6/g-C3N4 nanocomposite is found to be the greatest among the tested samples. the 10 % Bi2MoO6/g-C3N4 nanocomposite demonstrates the ability to degrade 94.6 % of Rh-B (1 × 10-5 M) within 3 h, with a rate constant of 0.015 min-1. Notably, this rate constant is 7 times greater than that observed for pure g-C3N4, which has a rate constant of 0.00218 min-1. The effect of several reaction factors on the Rhodamine B (Rh-B) removal is studied. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of 10 % Bi2MoO6/g-C3N4 nanocomposite is mainly due to the formation of 2D/2D type II structures, increasing the active sites and the separation rate of photogenerated carriers. A possible photocatalytic reaction mechanism of Rhodamine B (Rh-B) degradation over Bi2MoO6/g-C3N4 is suggested based on active species trapping experiment. Moreover, the high stability and recyclability exhibited by the 10 % Bi2MoO6/g-C3N4 nanocomposite provide strong evidence supporting its suitability as a viable photocatalyst for wastewater treatment purposes.

Room-temperature ferromagnetic CoSe2nanoplates synthesized by chemical vapor deposition.

Among novel two-dimensional materials, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with 3dmagnetic elements have been extensively researched owing to their unique magnetic, electric, and photoelectric properties. As an important member of TMDs, CoSe2is an interesting material with controversial magnetic properties, hitherto there are few reports related to the magnetism of CoSe2materials. Here, we report the synthesis of CoSe2nanoplates on Al2O3substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The CVD-grown CoSe2nanoplates exhibit three typical morphologies (regular hexagonal, hexagonal, and pentagonal shapes) and their lateral sizes and thickness of CoSe2nanoplates can reach up to hundreds of microns and several hundred nanometers, respectively. The electric-transport measurement shows a metallic feature of CoSe2nanoplates. Furthermore, the slanted hysteresis loop and nonzero remnant magnetization of the CoSe2nanoplates confirm the ferromagnetism in the temperature range of 5-400 K. This work provides a novel platform for designing CoSe2-based spintronic devices and studying related magnetic mechanisms.
