A method for producing mesoporous magnesium hydroxide nanoplates involving solvothermal treatment of a solution of a magnesium salt, a base, a glycol, and water is disclosed. The method does not use a surfactant or template in the solvothermal treatment. The method yields mesoporous nanoparticles of magnesium hydroxide having a plate-like morphology with a diameter of 20 nm to 100 nm, a mean pore diameter of 2 to 10 nm, a surface area of 50 to 70 m.sup.2/g, and a type-III nitrogen adsorption-desorption BET isotherm with a H3 hysteresis loop. An antibacterial composition containing the mesoporous magnesium hydroxide nanoplates is also disclosed. A method for reducing nitroaromatic compounds with a reducing agent and the mesoporous magnesium hydroxide nanoplates as a catalyst is also disclosed.

Described herein are methods for continuous production of an exfoliated two-dimensional (2D) material comprising passing a 2D material mixture through a convergent-divergent nozzle, the 2D material mixture comprising a 2D layered material and a compressible fluid. The method of the present disclosure employs physical compression and expansion of a flow of high-pressure gases, leaving the 2D layered material largely defect free to produce an exfoliated 2D layered in a simple, continuous, and environmentally friendly manner.

Nanoplatelets are prepared from a 3D layered material by: providing a dispersion of the 3D layered material, pressurising the dispersion, rapidly depressurising the dispersion to create shear forces that exfoliate the 3D layered material into nanoplatelets; and/or providing a dispersion of the 3D layered material, forming a first flow of the dispersion along a first flowpath in a first direction, forming a second flow of the dispersion along a second flowpath in a second direction by reversing the first flow or by forming the second flow in a second flowpath, wherein the second flowpath is substantially reverse and non-coaxial with the first flowpath, whereby shear forces between material in the first flowpath and material in the second flowpath exfoliate the 3D layered material into nanoplatelets. Also provided are apparatuses for carrying out the invention and nanoplatelets obtained by the invention.

Proposed are a layered Group III-V arsenic compound, a Group III-V nanosheet that may be prepared using the same, and an electrical device including the materials. There is proposed a layered compound having a composition represented by [Formula 1] Mx-mAyAsz (Where M is at least one of Group I elements, A is at least one of Group III elements, x, y, and z are positive numbers which are determined according to stoichiometric ratios to ensure charge balance when m is 0, and 0<m<x).

Proposed are a layered Group III-V compound containing phosphorus, a Group III-V nanosheet that may be prepared using the same, and an electrical device including the materials. There is proposed a layered compound represented by [Formula 1] M.sub.x-mA.sub.yP.sub.z (Where M is at least one of Group II elements, A is at least one of Group III elements, x, y, and z are positive numbers which are determined according to stoichiometric ratios to ensure charge balance when m is 0, and 0<m<x).

Provided are a nano-sized thin sheet-like pseudoboehmite and a method of producing the same. The method of producing a sheet-like pseudoboehmite is performed by a one-pot method, unlike the conventional method of performing the reaction first in a basic solution, and then performing redispersion in an acidic solution, thereby simplifying the production process, and thus, may be useful in the production industry of a separator for a secondary battery, and the like.

A titanium sulfide (TiS) nanomaterial and a composite material thereof for wave absorption are disclosed. The TiS nanomaterial is in a form of dispersed micro-particles which are bulks formed by stacking two-dimensional nano-sheets. The TiS nanomaterial is a bulk formed by stacking two-dimensional nano-sheets, thereby having a laminated structure that improves the wave absorption effect. In addition, experimental results demonstrate that the TiS nanomaterial with a dose of 40 wt% has the most excellent wave absorption performance, with a minimum reflection loss up to -47.4 dB, an effective absorption bandwidth of 5.9 GHz and an absorption peak frequency of 6.8 GHz, which are superior to those of existing two-dimensional bulk materials. One of reasons for the excellent wave absorption performance of the TiS nanomaterial may be because the laminated micro-morphology of TiS results in the electromagnetic wave refraction loss.
