This study introduces a novel wet-chemical thinning method for 2D tellurium, achieving scalability and site-specific thickness patterning capability. A polarity-switchable van der Waals heterodiode with a high rectification ratio is realized based on tellurium/WSe2, demonstrating its electronic application through fabricating a logic half-wave rectifier.
As a p-type elemental material with high carrier mobility, superior ambient stability, and anisotropic crystal structure, emerging two-dimensional (2D) tellurium (Te) has been considered a successor to black phosphorus for developing infrared-related optoelectronics. Nevertheless, the lack of a scalable thickness engineering strategy remains an obstacle to unleashing its full potential. Te-based electronics with logic functions are also less explored. Herein, we propose a novel wet-chemical thinning method for 2D Te, with the merits of scalability and site-specific thickness patterning capability. A polarity-switchable van der Waals (vdW) heterodiode with a high rectification ratio of 2.4 x 103 is realized on the basis of Te/WSe2. The electronic application of this unique characteristic is demonstrated by fabricating a logic half-wave rectifier, in which the rectifying states are switchable via electrostatic gating control. Besides, the narrow band gap of Te endows the device with a broad spectral response from visible to short-wave infrared. The room-temperature responsivity reaches 5.2 A W-1 at the telecom wavelength of 1.55 mu m, with an external quantum efficiency of 420% and detectivity of 6.8 x 109 Jones. In particular, owing to the intrinsic in-plane anisotropy of Te, the device exhibits a favorable photocurrent anisotropic ratio of similar to 3. Our study demonstrates the enormous potential of Te for novel electronics, promoting the development of elemental 2D materials.
