Chemical Society Reviews

The recent progress in photonic MOFs for luminescence sensing, white-light emission, photocatalysis, nonlinear optics, lasing devices, and biomedicine is summarized.

In this tutorial review, the design strategies, syntheses, and ion sensing properties of conjugated oligopyrroles are described.

The emergence of two-dimensional (2D) materials with a large lateral size and extremely small thickness has significantly changed the development of many research areas by producing a variety of unusual physicochemical properties.

Atomically-thin two-dimensional sheets can serve as an ideal model to disclose the role of active sites in catalysis.

Active and robust cocatalysts constructed from earth-abundant elements greatly contribute to the highly efficient, stable and cost-effective photocatalytic water splitting.

The recent progress, opportunities and challenges in exploring two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides as atomically thin semiconductors are reviewed, including the material synthesis and novel device concepts.
