Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials, including graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), and metal dichalcogenides (MCs), form the basis of modern electronics and optoelectronics due to their unique electronic structure, chemical activity, and mechanical strength. Despite many proof-of-concept demonstrations so far, to fully realize their large-scale practical applications, especially in devices, wafer-scale single crystal atomically thin highly uniform films are indispensable. In this minireview, we present an overview on the strategies and highlight recent significant advances toward the synthesis of wafer-scale single crystal graphene, hBN, and MC 2D thin films. Currently, there are five distinct routes to synthesize wafer-scale single crystal 2D vdW thin films: (i) nucleation-controlled growth by suppressing the nucleation density, (ii) unidirectional alignment of multiple epitaxial nuclei and their seamless coalescence, (iii) self-collimation of randomly oriented grains on a molten metal, (iv) surface diffusion and epitaxial self-planarization and (v) seed-mediated 2D vertical epitaxy. Finally, the challenges that need to be addressed in future studies have also been described.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, consisting of atomically thin layered crystals, have attracted tremendous interest due to their outstanding intrinsic properties and diverse applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and catalysis. The large-scale growth of high-quality ultrathin 2D films and their utilization in the facile fabrication of devices, easily adoptable in industrial applications, have been extensively sought after during the last decade; however, it remains a challenge to achieve these goals. Herein, we introduce three key concepts: (i) the microwave assisted quick (∼1 min) synthesis of wafer-scale (6-inch) anisotropic conducting ultrathin (∼1 nm) amorphous carbon and 2D semiconducting metal chalcogenide atomically thin films, (ii) a polymer-assisted deposition process for the synthesis of wafer-scale (6-inch) 2D metal chalcogenide and pyrolyzed carbon thin films, and (iii) the surface diffusion and epitaxial self-planarization induced synthesis of wafer-scale (2-inch) single crystal 2D binary and large-grain 2D ferromagnetic ternary metal chalcogenide thin films. The proposed synthesis concepts can pave a new way for the manufacture of wafer-scale high quality 2D ultrathin films and their utilization in the facile fabrication of devices.

Abstract
Covalently functionalized germanane is a novel type of fluorescent probe that can be employed in material science and analytical sensing. Here, a fluorometric sensing platform based on methyl-functionalized germanane (CH3 Ge) is developed for gas (humidity and ammonia) sensing, pH (1-9) sensing, and anti-counterfeiting. Luminescence (red-orange) is seen when a gas molecule intercalates into the interlayer space of CH3 Ge and the luminescence disappears upon deintercalation. This allows for direct detection of gas absorption via fluorometric measurements of the CH3 Ge. Structural and optical properties of CH3 Ge with intercalated gas molecules are investigated by density functional theory (DFT). To demonstrate real-time and on-the-spot testing, absorbed gas molecules are first precisely quantified by CH3 Ge using a smartphone camera with an installed color intensity processing application (APP). Further, CH3 Ge-paper-based sensor is integrated into real food packets (e.g., fish and milk) to monitor the shelf life of perishable foods. Finally, CH3 Ge-based rewritable paper is applied in water jet printing to illustrate the potential for secret communication with quick coloration and good reversibility by water evaporation.

Abstract
The unique electronic and catalytic properties emerging from low symmetry anisotropic (1D and 2D) metal chalcogenides (MCs) have generated tremendous interest for use in next generation electronics, optoelectronics, electrochemical energy storage devices, and chemical sensing devices. Despite many proof-of-concept demonstrations so far, the full potential of anisotropic chalcogenides has yet to be investigated. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the recent progress made in the synthesis, mechanistic understanding, property modulation strategies, and applications of the anisotropic chalcogenides. It begins with an introduction to the basic crystal structures, and then the unique physical and chemical properties of 1D and 2D MCs. Controlled synthetic routes for anisotropic MC crystals are summarized with example advances in the solution-phase synthesis, vapor-phase synthesis, and exfoliation. Several important approaches to modulate dimensions, phases, compositions, defects, and heterostructures of anisotropic MCs are discussed. Recent significant advances in applications are highlighted for electronics, optoelectronic devices, catalysts, batteries, supercapacitors, sensing platforms, and thermoelectric devices. The article ends with prospects for future opportunities and challenges to be addressed in the academic research and practical engineering of anisotropic MCs.

Abstract
Three-dimensional nanomaterials of desired structural/morphological properties and highly porous with a high specific surface area are important in a variety of applications. In this work, glycerol-mediated self-growth of 3-D dandelion flower-like nickel chloride (NiCl2) from nickel-foam (NiF) is obtained for the first time using a room-temperature (27 °C) processed wet chemical method for electrocatalysis application. Glycerol-mediated self-grown NiCl2 flowers demonstrate an excellent electrocatalytic performance towards the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), which is much superior to the NiF (303 mV) and NiCl2 electrode prepared without glycerol (208 mV) in the same electrolyte solution. With a Tafel slope of 41 mV dec−1, the NiCl2 flower electrode confirms improved reaction kinetics as compared to the other two electrodes, i.e., NiF (106 mVdec−1) and NiCl2 obtained without glycerol (56 mV dec−1). The stability of the glycerol-based NiCl2 electrode has further been carried out for 2000 cycles with the overpotential diminution of just 8 mV, approving an electrocatalyst potential of glycerol-based NiCl2 electrode towards HER kinetics. This simple and easy growth process involves nucleation, aggregation, and crystal growth steps for producing NiCl2 nanostructures for electrocatalytic water splitting application through the HER process.

Abstract
Replacing fossil fuels with energy sources and carriers that are sustainable, environmentally benign, and affordable is amongst the most pressing challenges for future socio-economic development. To that goal, hydrogen is presumed to be the most promising energy carrier. Electrocatalytic water splitting, if driven by green electricity, would provide hydrogen with minimal CO2 footprint. The viability of water electrolysis still hinges on the availability of durable earth-abundant electrocatalyst materials and the overall process efficiency. This review spans from the fundamentals of electrocatalytically initiated water splitting to the very latest scientific findings from university and institutional research, also covering specifications and special features of the current industrial processes and those processes currently being tested in large-scale applications. Recently developed strategies are described for the optimisation and discovery of active and durable materials for electrodes that ever-increasingly harness first-principles calculations and machine learning. In addition, a technoeconomic analysis of water electrolysis is included that allows an assessment of the extent to which a large-scale implementation of water splitting can help to combat climate change. This review article is intended to cross-pollinate and strengthen efforts from fundamental understanding to technical implementation and to improve the 'junctions' between the field's physical chemists, materials scientists and engineers, as well as stimulate much-needed exchange among these groups on challenges encountered in the different domains.

Abstract
Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) is an available thermoelectric material with the lowest band gap among bismuth chalcogenides, revealing a broad application in photocatalysis. Unfortunately, its size and morphology related to a radio-catalysis property have rarely been explored. Herein, an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-assisted hydrothermal strategy was introduced to synthesize polytypic Bi2Te3 nanoplates (BT NPs) that exhibit size-dependent radio-sensitization and metabolism characteristics in vivo. By simply varying the molar ratio of EDTA/Bi3+ during the reaction, BT NPs with different sizes and morphologies were obtained. EDTA acting as chelating agent and "capping" agent contributed to the homogeneous growth of BT NPs by eliminating dangling bonds and reducing the surface energy of different facets. Further analyzing the size-dependent radio-sensitization mechanism, larger-sized BT NPs generated holes that preferentially catalyzed the conversion of OH- to ·OH when irradiated with X-rays, while the smaller-sized BT NPs exhibited faster decay kinetics producing higher 1O2 levels to enhance radiotherapy effects. A metabolomic analysis revealed that larger-sized BT NPs were oxidized into Bi(Ox) in the liver via a citrate cycle pathway, whereas smaller-sized BT NPs accumulated in the kidney and were excreted in urine in the form of ions by regulating the metabolism of glutamate. In a cervical cancer model, BT NPs combined with X-ray irradiation significantly antagonized tumor suppression through the promotion of apoptosis in tumor cells. Consequently, in addition to providing a prospect of BT NPs as an efficient radio-sensitizer to boost the tumor radiosensitivity, we put forth a strategy that can be universally applied in synthesizing metal chalcogenides for catalysis-promoted radiotherapy.

Abstract
Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) are a large family of 2D materials with different properties, and are promising candidates for a wide range of applications such as nanoelectronics, sensors, energy conversion, and energy storage. In the research of new materials, the development and investigation of industry-compatible synthesis techniques is of key importance. In this respect, it is important to study 2D TMC materials synthesized by the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique, which is widely applied in industries. In addition to the synthesis of 2D TMCs, ALD is used to modulate the characteristic of 2D TMCs such as their carrier density and morphology. So far, the improvement of thin film uniformity without oxidation and the synthesis of low-dimensional nanomaterials on 2D TMCs have been the research focus. Herein, the synthesis and modulation of 2D TMCs by ALD is described, and the characteristics of ALD-based TMCs used in nanoelectronics, sensors, and energy applications are discussed.

Abstract
Although wafer-scale single-grain thin films of 2D metal chalcogenides (MCs) have been extensively sought after during the last decade, the grain size of the MC thin films is still limited in the sub-millimeter scale. A general strategy of synthesizing wafer-scale single-grain MC thin films by using commercial wafers (Si, Ge, GaAs) both as metal source and epitaxial collimator is presented. A new mechanism of single-grain thin-film formation, surface diffusion, and epitaxial self-planarization is proposed, where chalcogen elements migrate preferentially along substrate surface and the epitaxial crystal domains flow to form an atomically smooth thin film. Through synchrotron X-ray diffraction and high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy, the formation of single-grain Si2 Te3 , GeTe, GeSe, and GaTe thin films on (111) Si, Ge, and (100) GaAs is verified. The Si2 Te3 thin film is used to achieve transfer-free fabrication of a high-performance bipolar memristive electrical-switching device.

Abstract
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted significant interest as one of the key materials in future electronics such as logic devices, optoelectrical devices, and wearable electronics. However, a complicated synthesis method and multistep processes for device fabrication pose major hurdles for their practical applications. Here, we introduce a direct and rapid method for layer-selective synthesis of MoS2 and WS2 structures in wafer-scale using a pulsed laser annealing system (λ = 1.06 μm, pulse duration ∼100 ps) in ambient conditions. The precursor layer of each TMD, which has at least 3 orders of magnitude higher absorption coefficient than those of neighboring layers, rigorously absorbed the incoming energy of the laser pulse and rapidly pyrolyzed in a few nanoseconds, enabling the generation of a MoS2 or WS2 layer without damaging the adjacent layers of SiO2 or polymer substrate. Through experimental and theoretical studies, we establish the underlying principles of selective synthesis and optimize the laser annealing conditions, such as laser wavelength, output power, and scribing speed, under ambient condition. As a result, individual homostructures of patterned MoS2 and WS2 layers were directly synthesized on a 4 in. wafer. Moreover, a consecutive synthesis of the second layer on top of the first synthesized layer realized a vertically stacked WS2/MoS2 heterojunction structure, which can be treated as a cornerstone of electronic devices. As a proof of concept, we demonstrated the behavior of a MoS2-based field-effect transistor, a skin-attachable motion sensor, and a MoS2/WS2-based heterojunction diode in this study. The ultrafast and selective synthesis of the TMDs suggests an approach to the large-area/mass production of functional heterostructure-based electronics.

Abstract
Recently, two-dimensional metal-organic framework (2D MOF) nanosheets have drawn a lot of attention on account of their various advantages, like ultrathin thickness, ultralarge specific surface area, abundant accessible active sites, favorable solution dispersion properties, and ease of designability. However, until now, it is still difficult to produce 2D MOF nanosheets in large scale, which hinders the practical applications of 2D MOF nanosheets. Here, for the first time, we introduced a novel shear exfoliation method to prepare scalable 2D MOF nanosheets by using a commercial blender. As a proof of concept, we used two kinds of layer-structured MOFs (ELM-12, Cu(bpy)2(OTf)2, bpy = 4,4-bipyridine, OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate and Zn2(bim)4, bim = benzimidazole) as samples to prepare MOF nanosheets. The thickness of the two kinds of MOF nanosheets obtained is 3-5 nm. Notably, the exfoliated MOF nanosheet (ELM-12) shows improved electrochemical catalytic activity compared with its bulk counterpart. Based on this, an ELM-12 nanosheet-based flexible sensor was developed for detecting superoxide anions (O2•-) released from cancer cells. The fabricated flexible sensor displays excellent sensitivity, selectivity, flexibility, stability, and reproducibility.

Abstract
With the advent of foldable electronics, it is necessary to develop a technology ensuring foldability when the circuit lines are placed on the topmost substrate rather than in the neutral plane used in the present industry. Considering the potential technological impacts, conversion of the conventional printed circuit boards to foldable ones is most desirable to achieve the topmost circuitry. This study realizes this unconventional conversion concept by coating an ultrathin anisotropic conductive film (UACF) on a printed metal circuit board. This study presents rapid large-area synthesis of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) thin films and their use as the UACF. Since the synthesized a-C:H thin film has electrical transparency, the metal/a-C:H hybrid board reflects the complexity of the underlying metal circuit board. The a-C:H thin film electrically connects the cracked area of the metal line; thus, the hybrid circuit board is foldable without resistance change during repeated folding cycles. The metal/UACF hybrid circuit board can be applied to the fabrication of various foldable electronic devices.

Abstract
We report water-splitting application of chemically stable self-grown nickel sulfide (Ni x S y ) electrocatalysts of different nanostructures including rods, flakes, buds, petals, etc., synthesized by a hydrothermal method on a three-dimensional Ni foam (NiF) in the presence of different sulfur-ion precursors, e.g., thioacetamide, sodium thiosulfate, thiourea, and sodium sulfide. The S2- ions are produced after decomposition from respective sulfur precursors, which, in general, react with oxidized Ni2+ ions from the NiF at optimized temperatures and pressures, forming the Ni x S y superstructures. These Ni x S y electrocatalysts are initially screened for their structure, morphology, phase purity, porosity, and binding energy by means of various sophisticated instrumentation technologies. The as-obtained Ni x S y electrocatalyst from sodium thiosulfate endows an overpotential of 200 mV. The oxygen evolution overpotential results of Ni x S y electrocatalysts are comparable or superior to those reported previously for other self-grown Ni x S y superstructure morphologies.
