“…Traditional emulsion ways provide a facile and large‐scale platform for converting polymers into solid particles, while polymer particles as a result of solidification of emulsion droplets always take the form of polydispersity . The microfluidic technique appears to be the most powerful tool to produce monodisperse droplets with the size ranging from several to hundred micrometers, affording great promise for the generation of polymeric microparticles with high uniformity . However, serious deformation of elastomeric microchannels by organic solvent is always raised on account of the swelling issue .…”

“…Intense research in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor materials has been conducted as prospective graphene alternatives [1][2][3][4][5]. It expands into the group-III nitrides involving the most recognizable example at present, the 2D hexagonal BN [6][7][8], but also hexagonal AlN [9][10][11][12], and hexagonal GaN [13].…”

The band structure and stability of XBi and XBi3 (X = B, Al, Ga, and In) single sheets are predicted using first-principles calculations. It is demonstrated that the band gap values of these new classes of two-dimensional (2D) materials depend on both the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and type of group-III elements in these hetero-sheets. Thus, topological properties can be achieved, allowing for viable applications based on coherent spin transport at room temperature. The spin-orbit effects are proved to be essential to explain the tunability by group-III atoms. A clear effect of including SOC in the calculations is lifting the spin degeneracy of the bands at the  of the Brillouin zone. The nature of the band gaps, direct or indirect, is also tuned by SOC, and by the appropriate X element involved. It is observed that, in the case of XBi single sheets, band inversions naturally occur for GaBi and InBi, which exhibit band gap values around 172 meV. This indicates that these 2D materials are potential candidates for topological insulators. On the contrary, a similar type of band inversion, as obtained for the XBi, was not observed in the XBi3 band structure. In general, the calculations, taking into account SOC, reveal that some of these buckled sheets exhibit sizable gaps, making them suitable for applications in room-temperature spintronic devices.

Herein, we demonstrate the fabrication of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene films using electrophoretic deposition (EPD). A systematic study under constant voltage conditions from aqueous and propylene carbonate-based suspensions was performed to investigate the effects of the EPD process parameters on film morphology, flake orientation, and functional properties. From measured suspension properties, the kinetics of deposition from both suspension media were successfully described by the well-established Sarkar model of EPD. Remarkably, EPD-processed films have electrical conductivities of 7400 S/cm, on par with the highest values reported in the literature for Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene. When employed as electrochemical capacitor electrodes in 1 M H 2 SO 4 , the capacitances were comparable to literature values. Given the process scalability and the morphological control that is possible, these results bode well for EPD as a fast, high-throughput method for making MXene films. Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is a process wherein an electric field is applied to a stable colloidal suspension in between two electrodes.1 As a consequence, two distinct processes occur, as shown in Figure 1a: (1) charged particles in the colloid move toward the electrode of opposite polarity to that of the particles' surface charge (electrophoresis) and, (2) a solid deposit is formed by coagulation at the suspension-electrode interface (deposition). This technique is well-studied and successfully implemented for high-throughput production of dense, void-free ceramic structures ranging from thin coatings to bulk layers several centimeters thick.2 Because of the flexibility and scalability of the deposition apparatus (e.g. power sources and size/shape of deposition electrodes and cell), fast deposition rates, and excellent microstructural control compared to other processing methods, EPD has been used for commercial-scale production of various engineering and traditional ceramics. [2][3][4] In recent years, EPD has also become a versatile technique for making monolithic films and nanocomposites of two-dimensional (2D) materials -such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, and layered transition metal oxides 5-10 -due to advances in colloidal processing. Recently, we discovered a new family of two-dimensional (2D) early transition metal carbides and nitrides, that we labeled MXene, because they are derived from the MAX phases and share properties similar to graphene. 11,12 The MAX phase composition is M n+1 AX n , where M is an early transition metal, A is an A-group element (mostly group 13 and 14 elements), X is carbon and/or nitrogen, and n = 1 to 3. The exfoliation process is carried out by selectively etching away the 'A' layers by hydrofluoric acid (HF) alone or by hydrochloric acid (HCl) combined with pre-dissolved fluoride salts. [13][14][15][16] The resulting material consists of loosely bonded layers of M n+1 X n T x , where T represents surface functionalization by -OH, -F and/or -O groups, [17][18][19] that can subsequently be delaminated...
