At the ultrathin scale, nanomaterials exhibit interesting chemical and physical properties, like flexibility, and polymer-like rheology. However, to limit the dimensions of composite nanomaterials at the ultrathin level is still a challenging task. Herein, by adopting a new low temperature single step and single pot wet chemical approach, we have successfully fabricated two dimensional (2D) mixed oxide ZnO-FeO dendritic nanosheets (FZDNSs). Various control experimental outcomes demonstrate that precursor salts of both the metals are crucial for the formation of stable 2D FZDNSs. The obtained FZDNSs not only exhibit the best photoreduction performance but also much enhanced electrocatalytic performance. This work will provide a promising avenue for the synthesis of cost effective transition metal mixed oxide based 2D nanosheets having wide ranging applications.
在超薄尺度下，纳米材料展现出有趣的化学和物理性质，如柔韧性以及类似聚合物的流变学特性。然而，将复合纳米材料的尺寸限制在超薄水平仍然是一项具有挑战性的任务。在此，通过采用一种新的低温单步单釜湿化学方法，我们成功制备了二维（2D）混合氧化物ZnO-FeO树枝状纳米片（FZDNSs）。各种对照实验结果表明，两种金属的前驱体盐对于稳定的二维FZDNSs的形成至关重要。所获得的FZDNSs不仅展现出最佳的光还原性能，而且其电催化性能也有显著增强。这项工作将为合成具有广泛应用的低成本过渡金属混合氧化物基二维纳米片提供一条有前景的途径。
