It remains a big challenge to synthesize two-dimensional (2D) GaN material for applications in power nanodevices. Traditional synthetic methods require complex equipment and processes and time consuming. Here, we reported a two-step route to prepare polycrystalline 2D GaN film. The amorphous ultrathin Ga 2 O 3 film was first exfoliated from the surface of liquid gallium. In a vapor phase reaction, 2D Ga 2 O 3 film was then converted into 2D GaN film while maintaining the 2D morphology. Raman and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) analysis implies the successful synthesis of wurtzite-type GaN ultrathin film. This simple strategy proposed in this work will provide more opportunities for applications of GaN ultrathin film in many devices.

Intermediate temperature NaCl–AlCl3-based Al-ion batteries are considered as a promising stationary energy storage system due to their low cost, high safety, etc. However, such a cheap electrolyte has a critical feature, i.e., strong corrosion, which results in the short cycle life of the conventional Al-metal anode and also limits the development of the NaCl–AlCl3-based Al-ion batteries. A noncorrosive electrolyte may be a good choice for addressing the above challenge, while it is difficult to obtain the electrolyte that has advantages of both noncorrosion and low cost. Therefore, here, we report a Ga-metal anode in the affordable NaCl–AlCl3 electrolyte for constructing a long-life stationary Al-ion energy storage system. This featured liquid metal anode shows good alloying and dealloying processes between metallic Ga and Al, as well as renders superior stability of the interface between the electrolyte and the anode (e.g., smoothly running for over 580 h at 2 mA cm–2). No-corrosion and no-pulverization problems appear in this novel liquid/liquid interface. Those advantages demonstrate that the liquid Ga-metal anode has a great promise for the improvement of the NaCl–AlCl3-based Al-ion batteries for large-scale stationary energy storage applications.

In the electrowinning or chemical reductive extraction process, those mass transfer kinetic parameters , for instance the diffusion coefficient in the liquid cathode or medium, have a strong impact upon the practical extraction rate and separation efficiency. This work aims to calculate the diffusion coefficient of uranium in liquid gallium with galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) and to deduce its corresponding activation energy . By analyzing the data of GITT, before U saturation in liquid gallium at the temperature range of 673-873 K, the temperature dependence of diffusion coefficients of uranium in liquid gallium was measured as ln D U Ga = − 6.90 ± 1.03 − 1.2 ± 0.8 × 10 3 T and the corresponding activation energy was determined as E a = −11.0 ± 6.7 kJ/mol. The possible source of errors to calculate the diffusion coefficients, such as reference electrode, small solubility of uranium in gallium, side reactions and geometrical approximation of cathode in the theory formula are also presented and discussed.

Single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformations have received considerable interest in crystal engineering, owing to providing a key platform for creating new materials. However, because of the limited tolerance of chemical bonds against the lattice strains, it is challenging to maintain the crystallinity when the structure changes dramatically. Here, a peculiar SCSC transformation from organic crystals to inorganic crystals, simultaneously achieving a drastic change in structure, connectivity, and dimension, is reported. As a demonstration, after reacting with liquid gallium, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) can easily transform to 2D hydroxide single crystals. Interestingly, long-range ordered metallic atoms of hydroxide inherited from the ordered atomic arrangement of ZIF-8, but the connectivity is distinct. With good universality and extensibility, this transformation vastly expands the research scope of the SCSC transformations and provides a novel pathway for the synthesis of crystalline materials.
