Biaxial strain engineering of CVD and exfoliated single- and bi-layer MoS2 crystals

Antonios Michail et al.

Summary: Single- and bi-layer MoS2 are two-dimensional semiconductors that can withstand large deformations, making them suitable for strain engineering applications and flexible electronics. By transferring MoS2 crystals onto flexible substrates and subjecting them to biaxial tension, researchers were able to accurately measure thermomechanical parameters and study the relationship between material property and strain. The results, confirmed through in-situ monitoring and density functional theory calculations, highlight the potential of MoS2 for strain engineering applications.

Photoluminescence from Single-Walled MoS2 Nanotubes Coaxially Grown on Boron Nitride Nanotubes

Ming Liu et al.

Summary: Coaxial synthesis of single-walled and multiwalled molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanotubes on boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) was achieved by removing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) from heteronanotubes. Single-walled MoS2 nanotubes exhibit direct bandgap structure around 6-7 nm diameter, with a transition from indirect to direct gap above 5.2 nm. Presence of SWCNTs in BNNTs and single-walled MoS2 nanotubes significantly quenches the PL signal.

Jiansheng Dong et al.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of spontaneous flexoelectric effect on the photoelectric properties of double-wall MoS2 nanotubes, finding that flexoelectricity can lead to a transition in band alignment type and improve power conversion efficiency as the diameter increases. The optimal power conversion efficiency of double-wall MoS2 nanotubes was found to be 5.25% at a diameter of 5.2 nm, which is 7 times higher than that of bilayer MoS2, suggesting that flexoelectricity can be an effective way to develop new types of photovoltaic devices.

Summary: The study utilized ultrafast electron diffraction to simultaneously visualize charge transfer and electron-phonon coupling in MoS2-graphene heterostructures. It was found that the timescale of charge transfer and relaxation varies significantly with twist angle, indicating that twist angle can serve as an additional tuning knob for interlayer charge transfer in heterobilayers. The research deepened the understanding of fundamental photophysical processes in heterostructures, which is important for future applications in optoelectronics and light harvesting.

Summary: Constructing 0D-2D mixed-dimensional van der Waals (MvdW) heterostructures is an effective strategy to improve photovoltaic properties of photovoltaic devices. In C-60/MoS2 0D-2D MvdWs, lower interface reflectivity and type II band alignment lead to an obvious improvement of power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 0.27% to 1.40%. The optimized PCE can be up to 5.35% by tuning the array periodicity of C-60 and the thickness of MoS2.
