Herein, smart graphene dispersions with low defects and thermo-responsive properties can be obtained by liquid phase exfoliation of graphite using an alkylated Percec monodendron （3,4,5-trioctadecy- loxybenzaldehyde, 1） as the stabilizing reagent. By simply changing the temperature, the dispersed graphene and 1 can be detached, leading to the recovery of both components. Besides noncovalent wrapping, the stabilizing reagent 1 can be also covalently attached to graphene through [3＋2] cycloaddition. The covalently functionalized graphene sheets show improved dispersibility in organic solvents compared to the pristine graphene, which opens the door for their applications in various polymer matrixes. The strategy demonstrated here provides a new methodology to get smart graphene dispersions with multiple functions.展开更多

HfS2 is a layered two-dimensional material of group-IV transition metal dichalcogenides. For the first time, we demonstrate a simple and cost-effective method to grow layered belt-like nanocrystals of HfS2 with a notably large interlayer spacing followed by their chemical exfoliation. Various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques confirm that these as-grown crystals exfoliate into single or multiple layers in a few minutes using solvent assisted ultrasonification method in N-cyclohexyl-2- pyrrolidone. The exfoliated nanosheets of HfS2 exhibit an indirect bandgap of 1.3 eV with high stability against surface degradation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that these nanosheets hold potential for electronic applications by fabricating a field-effect transistor based on few-layered HfS2, exhibiting a field-effect mobility of 0.95 cm2/（V.s） with a high on/off current modulation ratio of 10,000 in ambient conditions. The method is scalable and has a potential significance for both academic and industrial purposes.展开更多
