As a new family of 2D nanomaterials, 2D polymerbased nanosheets, featuring excellent characters, such as tunable framework structures, light weight, flexibility, high specific surface, and good semiconducting properties, have been emerging as one kind of promising functional materials for optoelectronics, gas separation, catalysis and sensing, etc. In this review, the recent progress in synthetic approach and characterization of 2D polymer-based nanosheets were summarized, and their current advances in electrochemical energy storage and conversion including second batteries, supercapacitors, oxygen reduction and hydrogen evolution were discussed systematically.展开更多

Due to the introduction of Flo-TiO2, the three-layer composite film has strong lightscattering ability. Then, we have investigated and compared the photoelectric conversion properties of DSSCs based on three-layer structure （P25/TNT arrays/Flo-TiO2） photoelectrode and double-layer film （P25/TNT arrays） photoelectrode. It is found that DSSCs based on three-layer structure exhibit a high power conversion efficiency of 6.48% compared with the DSSCs composed of double-layer film （5.11%）.展开更多
