We present the results of a thorough study wet chemical methods for transferring vapor deposition grown graphene from metal growth substrate to device-compatible substrate. On basis these results, we have developed "modified RCA clean" transfer method that has much better control both contamination and crack formation does not degrade quality transferred graphene. Using this method, high device yields, up 97%, with narrow performance metrics distribution were achieved. This demonstration...
In this work, we compare the electrical characteristics of MoS2 field-effect transistors (FETs) with Ag source/drain contacts those Ti and demonstrate that metal–MoS2 interface is crucial to device performance. FETs show more than 60 times higher ON-state current contacts. order better understand mechanism performance contacts, 5 nm Au/5 (contact layer) or film was deposited onto monolayers few layers, topography metal films characterized using scanning electron microscopy atomic force...
Topological insulators are unique electronic materials with insulating interiors and robust metallic surfaces. Device applications exploiting their remarkable properties have so far been hampered by the difficulty to electrically tune Fermi levels of both bulk thin film samples. Here we show experimentally that single-crystal nanowires topological insulator Bi2Se3 can be used as conduction channel in high-performance field effect transistor (FET), a basic circuit building block. Its...
MoS2 is considered as a good non-precious-metal co-catalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen generation, but its high activity requires people to modulate electronic structure or design morphology of MoS2-related composite. X-MoS2/g-C3N4 composites were prepared at different content ammonium tetrathiomolybdate and used catalysts generation. The results revealed that the H2 0.3-MoS2/g-C3N4 with 0.3 mmol 40 thiourea much better than others. With an annealing treatment in liquid nitrogen, obtained...
Studies on highly efficient noble-metal-free catalysts are regarded as an important task for H2 production by water-splitting. MoS2/ZnCdS/ZnS dual heterostructures were successfully prepared with respective supernatant MoS2 colloidal solutions (called M/ZC/Z) and precipitates (M(p)/ZC/Z). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) transmission (TEM) images of the M/ZC/Z sample showed that ZnS nanosheets decorated ZnCdS nanorods few-layered MoS2. Then, photocatalytic hydrogen study was performed...
The discovery of ferromagnetism in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals crystals has generated widespread interest. seeking robust 2D ferromagnets with high Curie temperature (Tc) is vitally important for next-generation spintronic devices. However, owing to the enhanced spin fluctuation and weak exchange interaction upon reduced dimensionalities, exploring Tc > 300 K highly demanded but remains challenging. In this work, we fabricated air-stable Cr5Te8/CrTe2 vertical heterojunctions above 400...
Owing to the capacity of efficiently harvesting and converting incident energy, localized surface-plasmon resonance noble metals was introduced into a metal-semiconductor design for promoting hydrogen evolution.

When layered transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are scaled down from a three- to 2D geometry, electronic and structural transitions occur, leading the emergence of properties not usually found in bulk.
