A review of supercapacitor electrode materials with 0, 1, 2, and 3 dimensional nanostructures.
By creating defects via oxygen plasma treatment, we demonstrate optical properties variation of single-layer MoS2. We found that, with increasing exposure time, the photoluminescence (PL) evolves from very high intensity to complete quenching, accompanied by gradual reduction and broadening MoS2 Raman modes, indicative distortion lattice after bombardment.

Abstract Optical data sensing, processing and visual memory are fundamental requirements for artificial intelligence robotics with autonomous navigation. Traditionally, imaging has been kept separate from the pattern recognition circuitry. Optoelectronic synapses hold special potential of integrating these two fields into a single layer, where device can record optical data, convert it conductance state store learning recognition, similar to optic nerve in human eye.
