• 2D Van der Waals Heterostructures for Chemical Sensing 

      Hou, Huilei; Anichini, Cosimo; Samorì, Paolo; Criado, Alejandro; Prato, Maurizio (Wiley-VCH, 2022-10-10)
      [Abstract] During the last 15 years, 2D materials have revolutionized the field of materials science. Moreover, because of their highest surface-to-volume ratio and properties extremely susceptible to their interaction ...
    • Bidirectional Modulation of Neuronal Cells Electrical and Mechanical Properties Through Pristine and Functionalized Graphene Substrates 

      Zummo, Francesca; Esposito, Pietro; Hou, Huilei; Wetzl, Cecilia; Rius, Gemma; Tkatchenko, Raphaela; Guimerà, Anton; Godignon, Philippe; Prato, Maurizio; Prats Alfonso, Elisabet; Criado, Alejandro; Scaini, Denis (Frontiers, 2022-01-11)
      [Abstract] In recent years, the quest for surface modifications to promote neuronal cell interfacing and modulation has risen. This course is justified by the requirements of emerging technological and medical approaches ...
    • Electrochemically Controlled Cleavage of Imine Bonds on a Graphene Platform: Towards New Electro-Responsive Hybrids for Drug Release 

      Hou, Huilei; Cardo, Lucia; Mancino, Donato; Arnaiz, Blanca; Criado, Alejandro; Prato, Maurizio (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-11-25)
      [Abstract] Graphene-based materials are particularly suitable platforms for the development of new systems able to release drugs upon the application of controlled electrochemical stimuli. Herein, we report a new ...
    • High-Yield Preparation of Exfoliated 1T-MoS2 with SERS Activity 

      Er, Engin; Hou, Huilei; Criado, Alejandro; Langer, Judith; Möller, Marco; Erk, Nevin; Liz-Marzán, Luis; Prato, Maurizio (American Chemical Society, 2019-07-17)
      [Abstract]: Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), a promising two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenide, presents a challenge in the tuning of its optoelectronic and chemical properties. Herein, we demonstrate an efficient ...
    • The Reactivity of Reduced Graphene Depends on Solvation 

      Hou, Huilei; Merino, Juan P.; Criado, Alejandro; Hirsch, Andreas; Prato, Maurizio (IOP Publishing, 2019-02-01)
      [Abstract] The reactivity of reduced graphene sheets (graphenide), obtained by dissolution of graphite intercalation compounds, in particular KC8, was systemically studied by cova-lent functionalization with 4-fluorobenz ...
