As a key element for the 2D/3D TFET, the intensive exploration of the tunnel diode based on the 2D/3D heterostructure is in urgent need.The transfer technique composed of the exfoliation and the release process is currently the most common approach to fabricating the 2D/3D heterostructures. However, the well-established transfer technique of the 2D materials is still unavailable.Only a small part of the irregular films can usually be obtained by mechanical exfoliation, while the choice of the chemical exfoliation may lead to the contamination of the 2D material films by the ions in the chemical etchants. Moreover, the deformation of the 2D material in the transfer process due to its soft nature also leads to the nonuniformity of the transferred film,which is one of the main reasons for the presence of the wrinkles and the stacks in the transferred film. Thus, the large-scale fabrication of the high-quality 2D/3D tunnel diodes is limited. In this article, a comprehensive transfer technique that can mend up the shortages mentioned above with the aid of the water and the thermal release tape(TRT) is proposed. Based on the method we proposed, the MoS_(2)/Si tunnel diode is experimentally demonstrated and the transferred monolayer MoS_(2) film with the relatively high crystal quality is confirmed by atomic force microscopy(AFM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and Raman characterizations. Besides, the prominent negative differential resistance(NDR) effect is observed at room temperature, which verifies the relatively high quality of the MoS_(2)/Si heterojunction. The bilayer MoS_(2)/Si tunnel diode is also experimentally fabricated by repeating the transfer process we proposed, followed by the specific analysis of the electrical characteristics. This study shows the advantages of the transfer technique we proposed and indicates the great application foreground of the fabricated 2D/3D heterostructure for ultralow-power tunneling devices.展开更多

One of the approaches to tackle this challenge is by using valleys (local extremum points in the momentum space) to encode the information instead of charges. The valley information in some material such as monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) can be controlled by using circularly polarized light. This opens a new field called opto-valleytronics. In this article, we first review the valley physics in monolayer TMD and two-dimensional (2D) heterostructure composed of monolayer TMD and other materials. Such 2D heterostructure has been shown to exhibit interesting phenomena such as interlayer exciton, magnetic proximity effect, and spin-orbit proximity effect, which is beneficial for opto-valleytronics application. We then review some of the optical valley control methods that have been used in the monolayer TMD and the 2D heterostructure. Finally, a summary and outlook of the 2D heterostructure opto-valleytronics are given.展开更多

The rational fabrication of multidimensional architectures such as one dimensional (1D)-two dimensional (2D) hybrid nanomaterials can integrate the merits of individual components and provide enhanced functionality. However, it is still very challenging to fabricate 1D/2D architectures because of the different growth mechanisms of the nanostructures. Here, we present a new solvent- mediated, surface reaction-driven growth route for synthesis of CdS nanowire (NW)/CdIn2S4 nanosheet (NS) 1D/2D architectures. The as-obtained CdS NW/ CdIn2S4 NS structures exhibit much higher visible-light-responsive photocatalytic activities for water splitting than the individual components. The CdS NW/CdIn2S4 NS heterostructure was further fabricated into photoelectrodes, which achieved a considerable photocurrent density of 2.85 mA·cm^-2 at 0 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) without use of any co-catalysts. This represents one of the best results from a CdS-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell. Both the multidimensional nature and type II band alignment of the 1D/2D CdS/CdIn2S4 heterostructure contribute to the enhanced photocatalyfic and photoelectrochemical activity. The present work not only provides a new strategy for designing multidimensional 1D/2D heterostructures, but also documents the development of highly efficient energy conversion catalysts.展开更多

文摘Two‐dimensional(2D)materials show outstanding properties such as dangling bond‐free surfaces,strong in‐plane while weak out‐of‐plane bonding,layer‐dependent electronic structures,and tunable electronic and optoelectronic properties,making them promising for numerous applications.Integrating 2D inorganics with organic materials to make van der Waals heterostructures at the 2D thickness limit has created new platforms for fabricating on‐demand multifunctional devices.To further broaden the limited choices of 2D inorganic‐based heterostructures,a wide range of available 2D organic materials with tunable properties have opened new opportunities for designing large numbers of heterostructures with 2D inorganic materials.This review aims to attract the attention of researchers toward this emerging 2D organic−inorganic field.We first highlight recent progress in organic−inorganic heterostructures and their synthesis and then discuss their potential applications,such as field‐effect transistors,photodetectors,solar cells,and neuromorphic computing devices.In the end,we present a summary of challenges and opportunities in this field.

文摘Due to the pristine interface of the 2D/3D face-tunneling heterostructure with an ultra-sharp doping profile, the 2D/3D tunneling field-effect transistor(TFET) is considered as one of the most promising low-power devices that can simultaneously obtain low off-state current(IOFF), high on-state current(ION) and steep subthreshold swing(SS). As a key element for the 2D/3D TFET, the intensive exploration of the tunnel diode based on the 2D/3D heterostructure is in urgent need.The transfer technique composed of the exfoliation and the release process is currently the most common approach to fabricating the 2D/3D heterostructures. However, the well-established transfer technique of the 2D materials is still unavailable.Only a small part of the irregular films can usually be obtained by mechanical exfoliation, while the choice of the chemical exfoliation may lead to the contamination of the 2D material films by the ions in the chemical etchants. Moreover, the deformation of the 2D material in the transfer process due to its soft nature also leads to the nonuniformity of the transferred film,which is one of the main reasons for the presence of the wrinkles and the stacks in the transferred film. Thus, the large-scale fabrication of the high-quality 2D/3D tunnel diodes is limited. In this article, a comprehensive transfer technique that can mend up the shortages mentioned above with the aid of the water and the thermal release tape(TRT) is proposed. Based on the method we proposed, the MoS_(2)/Si tunnel diode is experimentally demonstrated and the transferred monolayer MoS_(2) film with the relatively high crystal quality is confirmed by atomic force microscopy(AFM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and Raman characterizations. Besides, the prominent negative differential resistance(NDR) effect is observed at room temperature, which verifies the relatively high quality of the MoS_(2)/Si heterojunction. The bilayer MoS_(2)/Si tunnel diode is also experimentally fabricated by repeating the transfer process we proposed, followed by the specific analysis of the electrical characteristics. This study shows the advantages of the transfer technique we proposed and indicates the great application foreground of the fabricated 2D/3D heterostructure for ultralow-power tunneling devices.

文摘Nanostructured scaffolds offer promising opportunities in enabling dendrite-free long-cycle life Li metal anode.The rational design and controllable synthesis of scaffolding architectures are imperative for development of rechargeable Li metal batteries.In this study,we explore the fabrication and application of a tin monoxide/graphene hybrid architecture as a lithiophilic host for high-performance Li metal anode.Using a polymer-assisted sonochemical synthesis route,we tuned the thickness of SnO nanolayers and the nanostructure of alternatively stacking thin SnO nanosheet/graphene(SnO-NS/G) heterostructure.Offering abundant nucleation sites,fast ion transport tunnels,and 3D-conductivity,the unique 2D-2D architecture enables stable lithium plating-stripping cycling with low nucleation overpotential and high coulombic efficiency(CE).Hosted by SnO-NS/G scaffold,the resulting Li metal anode exhibits stable cycling over 200 cycles at 0.5 mA cm^(-2)(2 mAh).Full cell pairing high-mass-loading cathode LiCoO_(2)(LCO)(12 mg cm^(-2)) with SnO-NS/G hosted Li metal anode delivers high energy density of 402 Wh kg^(-1) and stable cyclability of over 100 cycles.We elucidate the structure-property relationship between nanolayer thickness and Li-metal plating behaviors,giving new insight on structuring 2D-nanomaterials with ideal architectures for stable lithium metal batteries.

文摘A 2D heterostructure with proximity coupling of magnetism and topology can provide enthralling prospects for hosting new quantum states and exotic properties that are relevant to next-generation spintronic devices.Here,we synthesize a delicate van der Waals(vdW)heterostructure of CrTe_(2)/Bi_(2)Te_(3) at the atomic scale via molecular beam epitaxy.Low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy measurements are utilized to characterize the geometric and electronic properties of the CrTe_(2)/Bi_(2)Te_(3) heterostructure with a compressed vdW gap.Detailed structural analysis reveals complex interfacial structures with diversiform step heights and intriguing moirépatterns.The formation of the interface is ascribed to the embedded characteristics of CrTe_(2) and Bi_(2)Te_(3) by sharing Te atomic layer upon interfacing,showing intercoupled features of electronic structure for CrTe_(2) and Bi_(2)Te_(3).Our study demonstrates a possible approach to construct artificial heterostructures with different types of ordered states,which may be of use for achieving tunable interfacial Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya interactions and tailoring the functional building blocks in low dimensions.

文摘The development of information processing devices with minimum carbon emission is crucial in this information age. One of the approaches to tackle this challenge is by using valleys (local extremum points in the momentum space) to encode the information instead of charges. The valley information in some material such as monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) can be controlled by using circularly polarized light. This opens a new field called opto-valleytronics. In this article, we first review the valley physics in monolayer TMD and two-dimensional (2D) heterostructure composed of monolayer TMD and other materials. Such 2D heterostructure has been shown to exhibit interesting phenomena such as interlayer exciton, magnetic proximity effect, and spin-orbit proximity effect, which is beneficial for opto-valleytronics application. We then review some of the optical valley control methods that have been used in the monolayer TMD and the 2D heterostructure. Finally, a summary and outlook of the 2D heterostructure opto-valleytronics are given.

文摘It is a rapidly developed subject in expanding the fundamental properties and application of two-dimensional(2D)materials.The weak van der Waals interaction in 2D materials inspired researchers to explore 2D heterostructures(2DHs)based broadband photodetectors in the far-infrared(IR)and middle-IR regions with high response and high detectivity.This review focuses on the strategy and motivation of designing 2DHs based high-performance IR photodetectors,which provides a wide view of this field and new expectation for advanced photodetectors.First,the photocarriers'generation mechanism and frequently employed device structures are presented.Then,the 2DHs are divided into semimetal/semiconductor 2DHs,semiconductor/semiconductor 2DHs,and multidimensional semi-2DHs;the advantages,motivation,mechanism,recent progress,and outlook are discussed.Finally,the challenges for next-generation photodetectors are described for this rapidly developing field.

文摘Nanomaterial shapes can have profound effects on material properties, and therefore offer an efficient way to improve the performances of designed materials and devices. The rational fabrication of multidimensional architectures such as one dimensional (1D)-two dimensional (2D) hybrid nanomaterials can integrate the merits of individual components and provide enhanced functionality. However, it is still very challenging to fabricate 1D/2D architectures because of the different growth mechanisms of the nanostructures. Here, we present a new solvent- mediated, surface reaction-driven growth route for synthesis of CdS nanowire (NW)/CdIn2S4 nanosheet (NS) 1D/2D architectures. The as-obtained CdS NW/ CdIn2S4 NS structures exhibit much higher visible-light-responsive photocatalytic activities for water splitting than the individual components. The CdS NW/CdIn2S4 NS heterostructure was further fabricated into photoelectrodes, which achieved a considerable photocurrent density of 2.85 mA·cm^-2 at 0 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) without use of any co-catalysts. This represents one of the best results from a CdS-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell. Both the multidimensional nature and type II band alignment of the 1D/2D CdS/CdIn2S4 heterostructure contribute to the enhanced photocatalyfic and photoelectrochemical activity. The present work not only provides a new strategy for designing multidimensional 1D/2D heterostructures, but also documents the development of highly efficient energy conversion catalysts.

文摘Inserting hexagonal boron nitride(hBN)as barrier layers into bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides heterointerface has been proved an efficient method to improve two dimensional tunneling optoelectronic device performance.Nevertheless,the physical picture of interlayer coupling effect during incorporation of monolayer(1L-)hBN is not explicit yet.In this article,spectroscopic ellipsometry was used to experimentally obtain the broadband excitonic and critical point properties of WS_(2)/MoS_(2)and WS_(2)/hBN/MoS_(2)van der Waals heterostructures.We find that 1L-hBN can only slightly block the interlayer electron transfer from WS_(2)layer to MoS_(2)layer.Moreover,insertion of 1L-hBN weakens the interlayer coupling effect by releasing quantum confinement and reducing efficient dielectric screening.Consequently,the exciton binding energies in WS_(2)/hBN/MoS_(2)heterostructures blueshift comparing to those in WS_(2)/MoS_(2)heterostructures.In this exciton binding energies tuning process,the reducing dielectric screening effect plays a leading role.In the meantime,the quasi-particle(QP)bandgap remains unchanged before and after 1L-hBN insertion,which is attributed to released quantum confinement and decreased dielectric screening effects canceling each other.Unchanged QP bandgap as along with blueshift exciton binding energies lead to the redshift exciton transition energies in WS_(2)/hBN/MoS_(2)heterostructures.

文摘CO_(2)photoreduction to high-valued CH_(4)is highly attractive,whereas the CH_(4)selectivity and activity,especially under atmospheric CO_(2),is still unsatisfying.Here,we design spatially-separated redox sites on two-dimensional heterostructured nanosheets with loaded metal oxides,thus achieving high reactivity and selectivity of photocatalytic atmospheric CO_(2)reduction to CH_(4).Taking the synthetic In_(2)O_(3)/In_(2)S_(3)nanosheets with loaded PdO quantum dots as a prototype,quasi in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectra reveal the Pd sites accumulate photogenerated holes for dissociating H_(2)O and the In sites accept photoexcited electrons to activate CO_(2).Moreover,the Pd-OD bond is confirmed by in-situ Fourier-transform infrared spectra during the D2O labeling experiment,indicating the PdO quantum dots participate in H_(2)O oxidation to supply hydrogen species for CO_(2)methanation.As a result,in a simulated air atmosphere,the PdO-In_(2)O_(3)/In_(2)S_(3)nanosheets enable favorable atmospheric CO_(2)-to CH_(4)photoreduction with nearly 100%selectivity and ultralong stability of 240 h as well as CO_(2)conversion of 48.2%.This study opens an approach towards designing photocatalysts with spatially-separated redox sites to achieve efficient oxidation and reduction of CO_(2)photocatalysis to CH_(4).

文摘Grain boundaries in two-dimensional(2D)semiconductors generally induce distorted band alignment and interfacial charge,which impair their electronic properties for device applications.Here,we report the improvement of band alignment at the grain boundaries of PtSe_(2),a 2D semiconductor,with selective adsorption of a presentative organic acceptor,tetracyanoquinodimethane(TCNQ).TCNQ molecules show selective adsorption at the PtSe_(2)grain boundary with strong interfacial charge.The adsorption of TCNQ distinctly improves the band alignment at the PtSe_(2)grain boundaries.With the charge transfer between the grain boundary and TCNQ,the local charge is inhibited,and the band bending at the grain boundary is suppressed,as revealed by the scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy(STM/S)results.Our finding provides an effective method for the advancement of the band alignment at the grain boundary by functional molecules,improving the electronic properties of 2D semiconductors for their future applications.
