Abstract

An particle can include a first sheet comprising a layer including a first material, wherein the first sheet includes a first outer surface and a first inner surface; and a second sheet comprising a layer including a second material, where the second sheet includes a second outer surface and a second inner surface, wherein the first sheet and the second sheet form a space, the space is encapsulated by the first sheet and the second sheet.

Claims (25)

1. A particle comprising: a first sheet comprising a layer including a first material, wherein the first sheet includes a first outer surface and a first inner surface; and a second sheet comprising a layer including a second material, wherein the second sheet includes a second outer surface and a second inner surface, wherein the first sheet and the second sheet form a space, the space including a composition having a nanoparticle, the space encapsulated by the first sheet annealed with the second sheet, wherein the first sheet further comprises a second layer including the first material and the second sheet further comprises a second layer including the second material, and the first outer surface is functionalized.

2. The particle of claim 1 , wherein the first material is graphene, molybdenum disulfide, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), molybdenum diselenide, tungsten disulfide, tungsten diselenide, rhenium diselenide, rhenium disulfide, black phosphorus, platinum diselenide, tin sulfide, or tin selenide.

3. The particle of claim 1 , wherein the second material is graphene, molybdenum disulfide, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), molybdenum diselenide, tungsten disulfide, tungsten diselenide, rhenium diselenide, rhenium disulfide, black phosphorus, platinum diselenide, tin sulfide, or tin selenide.

4. The particle of claim 1 , wherein the first outer surface is covalently functionalized.

5. The particle of claim 1 , wherein the first outer surface is noncovalently functionalized.

6. The particle of claim 4 , wherein the first outer surface is functionalized via .pi.-.pi. stacking.

7. The particle of claim 1 , wherein the first inner surface is functionalized.

8. The particle of claim 7 , wherein the first outer surface is covalently functionalized.

9. The particle of claim 7 , wherein the first outer surface is noncovalently functionalized.

10. The particle of claim 9 , wherein the first outer surface is functionalized via .pi.-.pi. stacking.

11. The particle of claim 1 , wherein the second outer surface is functionalized.

12. The particle of claim 11 , wherein the first outer surface is covalently functionalized.

13. The particle of claim 11 , wherein the first outer surface is noncovalently functionalized.

14. The particle of claim 13 , wherein the first outer surface is functionalized via .pi.-.pi. stacking.

15. The particle of claim 1 , wherein the second inner surface is functionalized.

16. The particle of claim 15 , wherein the first outer surface is covalently functionalized.

17. The particle of claim 15 , wherein the first outer surface is noncovalently functionalized.

18. The particle of claim 17 , wherein the first outer surface is functionalized via .pi.-.pi. stacking.

19. The particle of claim 1 , wherein the first sheet includes a plurality of nanopores.

20. The particle of claim 1 , wherein the second sheet includes a plurality of nanopores.

21. The particle of claim 1 , wherein the composition includes electronics.

22. The particle of claim 1 , wherein the composition includes liquid.

23. The particle of claim 1 , wherein the composition includes gel.

24. A method of making an particle comprising: preparing a first sheet including a first substrate and a first layer comprising a first material on a first substrate, wherein the first sheet includes a first outer surface and a first inner surface; depositing a composition; preparing a second sheet including a second substrate and a second sheet comprising a second material on the second substrate, wherein the second sheet includes a second outer surface and a first inner surface; annealing the first sheet and the second sheet such that the space including a composition having a nanoparticle, the space is encapsulated by the first sheet annealed with the second sheet; and autoperforating the first sheet and the second sheet, wherein the first sheet further comprises a second layer including the first material and the second sheet further comprises a second layer including the second material, and the first outer surface is functionalized.

25. A method of detecting an analyte comprising: applying the particle of claim 1 , wherein the space includes a sensor; and detecting the analyte with the sensor.
