Thermal treatment of the zinc loaded MS composite lead to the formation of ZnO-MS composite. The well ordered uniform pore structure of MS (pore size similar to 3.4 nm) is found to remain stable even after 30% Zn loading albeit decrease in the pore size 1.2 nm indicates the formation of ZnO inside the pores.

The bottom-up solution-based approach is a convenient alternative producing ultrathin high quality two-dimensional Bi2Se3 nanosheets. The present investigation deals with glycol mediated synthesis of highly crystalline ultrathin Bi2Se3 nanosheets. The as-synthesized Bi2Se3 nanosheets exhibit a rhombohedral crystal structure with a substantial surface-to-volume ratio that can possess several potential applications. Besides, the ultrathin Bi2Se3 nanosheets produced herein, found to be n-type with robust spatial confinement of charge carriers advantageous for thermoelectric applications, delivering a high-power factor of 1.55 mu W/cmK(2) at 150 degrees C. The method demonstrates the generic feature of the solution phase technique for the synthesis of highly crystalline nanosheets allowing mass production of identical ultra-thin nanosheets that can be easily integrated into devices for several promising applications, including spintronics, energy storage, and topological quantum computation.</p>

PLD allows the deposition of profoundly different materials, including high-temperature superconductors, oxides, nitrides, carbides, semiconductors, metals, and even polymers or fullerenes with high deposition rates. Growing thin films using PLD is now being used around the world for prototyping thin films of many inorganic materials and even in device fabrication protocols. This article covers the detailed development, versatility, and reliability of the ultraviolet (UV) excimer laser. It is envisioned that this review article is of interest for both the materials and chemical scientists engaged in more fundamental aspects of pulsed laser ablation and deposition. The present article highlights the historical developments of PLD technique, complete mechanism of thin film fabrication, optimization of the quality of thin films and the fabrication of thin films of the materials like ZnO, Graphene, MoS2, and WS2 which are being explored for various potential applications.1 aBin Masood, Khalid1 aKumar, Pushpendra1 aMalik, Mushtaq, Ahmad1 aSingh, Jai  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/comprehensive-tutorial-pulsed-laser-deposition-technique-and-developments-fabrication-low
