AbstractTwo-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, black phosphorus, and transition metal dichalcogenides have attracted significant research attention due to their novel properties and wide range of applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices. In particular, investigation of twist-controlled 2D materials has attracted tremendous attention due to their excellent properties such as smooth heterointerfaces, highly gate-tunable bandgaps, and ultrafast carrier transport. Twist-controlled 2D materials combined with their fascinating electronic structures have also indicated their outstanding potential in electronic and optoelectronic applications. In this review, the recent developments in twisted 2D materials are summarized, covering aspects related to their fabrication, twist angle-dependent optical properties, and optoelectronic applications.

AbstractThermoelectric generators have attracted a wide research interest owing to their ability to directly convert heat into electrical power. Moreover, the thermoelectric properties of traditional inorganic and organic materials have been significantly improved over the past few decades. Among these compounds, layered two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, black phosphorus, transition metal dichalcogenides, IVA–VIA compounds, and MXenes, have generated a large research attention as a group of potentially high-performance thermoelectric materials. Due to their unique electronic, mechanical, thermal, and optoelectronic properties, thermoelectric devices based on such materials can be applied in a variety of applications. Herein, a comprehensive review on the development of 2D materials for thermoelectric applications, as well as theoretical simulations and experimental preparation, is presented.

Van Der Waals Materials

Two-dimensional van der Waals materials have rich and unique functional properties, but many are susceptible to corrosion under ambient conditions. Here we show that linear alkylamines n-CmH2m+1NH2, with m = 4 through 11, are highly effective in protecting the optoelectronic properties of these materials, such as black phosphorus (BP) and transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs: WS2, 1T′-MoTe2, WTe2, WSe2, TaS2, and NbSe2). As a representative example, n-hexylamine (m = 6) can be applied in the form of thin molecular monolayers on BP flakes with less than 2-nm thickness and can prolong BP’s lifetime from a few hours to several weeks and even months in ambient environments. Characterizations combined with our theoretical analysis show that the thin monolayers selectively sift out water molecules, forming a drying layer to achieve the passivation of the protected 2D materials. The monolayer coating is also stable in air, H2 annealing, and organic solvents, but can be removed by certain organic acids.

Metal Dichalcogenides

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides have gained great attention because of their peculiar physical properties that make them interesting for a wide range of applications. Lately, alloying between different transition metal dichalcogenides has been proposed as an approach to control two-dimensional phase stability and to obtain compounds with tailored characteristics. In this theoretical study, we predict the phase diagram and the electronic properties of Mo xTi1− xS2 at varying stoichiometry and show how the material is metallic, when titanium is the predominant species, while it behaves as a p-doped semiconductor, when approaching pure MoS2 composition. Correspondingly, the thermodynamically most stable phase switches from the tetragonal to the hexagonal one. Further, we present an example which shows how the proposed alloys can be used to obtain new vertical two-dimensional heterostructures achieving effective electron/hole separation.

AbstractTransition metal dichalcogenides are two-dimensional semiconductors with strong in-plane covalent and weak out-of-plane interactions, resulting in exfoliation into monolayers with atomically thin thickness. This creates a new era for the exploration of two-dimensional physics and device applications. Among them, MoS2 is stable in air and easily available from molybdenite, showing tunable band-gaps in the visible and near-infrared waveband and strong light-matter interactions due to the planar exciton confinement effect. In the single-layer limit, monolayer MoS2 exhibits direct band-gaps and bound excitons, which are fundamentally intriguing for achieving the nanophotonic and optoelectronic applications. In this review, we start from the characterization of monolayer MoS2 in our group and understand the exciton modes, then explore thermal excitons and band renormalization in monolayer MoS2. For nanophotonic applications, the recent progress of nanoscale laser source, exciton-plasmon coupling, photoluminescence manipulation, and the MoS2 integration with nanowires or metasurfaces are overviewed. Because of the benefits brought by the unique electronic and mechanical properties, we also introduce the state of the art of the optoelectronic applications, including photoelectric memory, excitonic transistor, flexible photodetector, and solar cell. The critical applications focused on in this review indicate that MoS2 is a promising material for nanophotonics and optoelectronics.
