“…This change in bandgap is useful in renewable energy conversion and storage fields, such as electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, batteries, and supercapacitors. [ 85 ] Moreover, monolayer WS 2 has become as a promising material for fields like valleytronics, photonic, and photoluminescence enhancement. [ 86 ] However, it also features intriguing properties when it is studied in few layers, paving a way in electronics, optoelectronics, photovoltaics, and thermoelectricity applications.…”

Finding 2D and thin‐film layered materials have become essential to develop not only in scientific‐related fields, but also in a wide industry, which is constantly feeding from this progress. For electronic devices, thin‐film materials are supposed to be a step forward to overcome Moore's law. In many other technologic areas, the development of tools based on flakes of materials has found new physics, becoming a rising field. Although, destructive techniques are commonly used to characterize the thickness of these materials. Herein, a list of materials is presented, whose thicknesses are characterized by their apparent colors in several substrates, a harmless, fast, and reliable technique that has been already used to determine the number of layers in several works. This list is also enlarged with other materials and substrates.

The increasing use of tungsten in the production of green energy in the aerospace and military industries, and in many other hi-tech applications, may increase the content of this element in soil. This overview examines some aspects of the behavior of tungsten in soil, such as the importance of characteristics of soils in relation to bioavailability processes, the chemical approaches to evaluate tungsten mobility in the soil environment and the importance of adsorption and desorption processes. Tungsten behavior depends on soil properties of which the most important is soil pH, which determines the solubility and polymerization of tungstate ions and the characteristics of the adsorbing soil surfaces. During the adsorption and desorption of tungsten, iron, and aluminum oxides, and hydroxides play a key role as they are the most important adsorbing surfaces for tungsten. The behavior of tungsten compounds in the soil determines the transfer of this element in plants and therefore in the food chain. Despite the growing importance of tungsten in everyday life, environmental regulations concerning soil do not take this element into consideration. The purpose of this review is also to provide some basic information that could be useful when considering tungsten in environmental legislation.

“…In recent years, metal sulfides have attracted the attention of researchers because their theoretical capacity exceeds that of commercial carbonaceous materials. 2D layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with a graphite‐like structure, such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ), [37,129–131] tin disulfide (SnS 2 ), [132] and tungsten disulfide (WS 2 ), [133,154–155] have been widely used as anode materials [130] . Since graphene‐like layered MoS 2 can be very homogeneously blended with carbonaceous materials, combining these two materials is considered as an effective strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of LIBs anodes [128] .…”

Silicon, which has been widely studied by virtue of its extremely high theoretical capacity and abundance, is recognized as one of the most promising anode materials for the next generation of lithium‐ion batteries. However, silicon undergoes tremendous volume change during cycling, which leads to the destruction of the electrode structure and irreversible capacity loss, so the promotion of silicon materials in commercial applications is greatly hampered. In recent years, many strategies have been proposed to address these shortcomings of silicon. This Review focused on different coatings materials (e. g., carbon‐based materials, metals, oxides, conducting polymers, etc.) for silicon materials. The role of different types of materials in the modification of silicon‐based material encapsulation structure was reviewed to confirm the feasibility of the protective layer strategy. Finally, the future research direction of the silicon‐based material coating structure design for the next‐generation lithium‐ion battery was summarized.
