Cytotoxicity of Shear Exfoliated Pnictogen (As, Sb, Bi) Nanosheets

The experimental achievement of phosphorene, which exhibits superior electronic, physical, and optical properties has spurred recent interest in other Group 15 elemental 2D nanomaterials such as arsenene, antimonene, and bismuthene. These unique and superior properties of the pnictogen nanosheets have spurred intensive research efforts and led to the discovery of their diversified potential applications; for …

Triazine- and Heptazine-Based Carbon Nitrides: Toxicity

Graphitic carbon nitride has attracted extensive interests recently because of its potential in biosensing, photocatalytic, and biomedical applications. Similar to graphene, it is a two-dimensional carbon and nitrogen-based nanomaterial with weak van der Waals forces between each layer. Carbon nitrides can have various structural moieties such as triazine and heptazine. Unlike graphene-substituted nanosheets, the toxicity …
