Article Abstract
The development of electrocatalysts with reduced iridium (Ir) loading for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential to produce low-cost green hydrogen from water electrolysis under acidic conditions. Herein, an atomically thin layer of iridium oxide (IrO) has been uniformly dispersed onto cobalt oxide (CoO) nanocrystals to improve the efficient use of Ir for acidic OER. In situ characterization and theoretical calculations reveal that compared to the conventional IrO cluster, the atomically thin layer of IrO shows stronger interaction with the CoO and consequently higher OER activity due to the Ir-O-Co bond formation at the interface. Equally important, the facile synthetic method and the promising activity in the proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer, reaching 1 A cm at 1.7 V with remarkable durability, enable potential scale-up applications. These findings provide a mechanistic understanding for designing active, stable and lower-cost electrocatalysts with well-defined structures for acidic OER.

A crack-free and residue-free transfer technique for large-area, atomically-thin 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) such as MoS and WS is critical for their integration into next-generation electronic devices, either as channel materials replacing silicon or as back-end-of-line (BEOL) components in 3D-integrated nano-systems on CMOS platforms. However, cracks are frequently observed during the debonding of TMDCs from their growth substrates, and polymer or metal residues are often left behind after the removal of adhesive support layers wet etching. These issues stem from excessive angular strain accumulated during debonding and the incomplete removal of support layers due to their low solubility.

Recent advances in two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials have promoted significant progress in low-dimensional magnetism and its technological applications. Among them, atomically thin chromium trihalides (CrX with X = Cl, Br, and I) are among the most studied 2D magnets due to their unique magnetic properties. In this work, we employ density functional theory calculations to investigate the mechanical and electronic properties of CrX monolayers in the presence of in-plane uniaxial strain.

Incorporating atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials with optical fibers expands their potential for optoelectronic applications. Recent advancements in chemical vapor deposition have enabled the batch production of these hybrid fibers, paving the way for practical implementation. However, their functionality remains constrained by the integration of a single 2D material, restricting their versatile performance.
