Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterostructures have attracted a lot of attention due to their rich material diversity and stack geometry, precise controllability of structure and properties, and potential practical applications. These heterostructures not only overcome the inherent limitations of individual materials but also enable the realization of new properties through appropriate combinations, establishing a platform to explore new physical and chemical properties at micro-nano-pico scales. In this review, we systematically summarize the latest research progress in the synthesis, modulation, and application of 2D TMD heterostructures. We first introduce the latest techniques for fabricating 2D TMD heterostructures, examining the rationale, mechanisms, advantages, and disadvantages of each strategy. Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of characteristic modulation in 2D TMD heterostructures and discuss some approaches to achieve novel functionalities. Then, we summarize the representative applications of 2D TMD heterostructures. Finally, we highlight the challenges and future perspectives in the synthesis and device fabrication of 2D TMD heterostructures and provide some feasible solutions.

Abstract
Organic small-molecule semiconductor materials have attracted extensive attention because of their excellent properties. Due to the randomness of crystal orientation and growth location, however, the preparation of continuous and highly ordered organic small-molecule semiconductor nanocrystal arrays still face more challenges. Compared to organic macromolecules, organic small molecules exhibit better crystallinity, and therefore, they exhibit better semiconductor performance. The formation of organic small-molecule crystals relies heavily on weak interactions such as hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, and π-π interactions, which are very sensitive to external stimuli such as mechanical forces, high temperatures, and organic solvents. Therefore, nanocrystal array engineering is more flexible than that of the inorganic materials. In addition, nanocrystal array engineering is a key step towards practical application. To resolve this problem, many conventional nanocrystal array preparation methods have been developed, such as spin coating, etc. In this review, the typical and recent progress of nanocrystal array engineering are summarized. It is the typical and recent innovations that the array of nanocrystal array engineering can be patterned on the substrate through top-down, bottom-up, self-assembly, and crystallization methods, and it can also be patterned by constructing a series of microscopic structures. Finally, various multifunctional and emerging applications based on organic small-molecule semiconductor nanocrystal arrays are introduced.

Abstract
Understanding the nature of molecular excitons in low-dimensional molecular solids is of paramount importance in fundamental photophysics and various applications such as energy harvesting, switching electronics and display devices. Despite this, the spatial evolution of molecular excitons and their transition dipoles have not been captured in the precision of molecular length scales. Here we show in-plane and out-of-plane excitonic evolution in quasilayered two-dimensional (2D) perylene-3, 4, 9, 10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) crystals assembly-grown on hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) crystals. Complete lattice constants with orientations of two herringbone-configured basis molecules are determined with polarization-resolved spectroscopy and electron diffraction methods. In the truly 2D limit of single layers, two Frenkel emissions Davydov-split by Kasha-type intralayer coupling exhibit energy inversion with decreasing temperature, which enhances excitonic coherence. As the thickness increases, the transition dipole moments of newly emerging charge transfer excitons are reoriented because of mixing with the Frenkel states. The current spatial anatomy of 2D molecular excitons will inspire a deeper understanding and groundbreaking applications of low-dimensional molecular systems.

Abstract
2D van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) and superlattices (SLs) with exotic physical properties and applications for new devices have attracted immense interest. Compared to conventionally bonded heterostructures, the dangling-bond-free surface of 2D layered materials allows for the feasible integration of various materials to produce vdWHs without the requirements of lattice matching and processing compatibility. The quality of interfaces in artificially stacked vdWHs/vdWSLs and scalability of production remain among the major challenges in the field of 2D materials. Fortunately, bottom-up methods exhibit relatively high controllability and flexibility. The growth parameters, such as the temperature, precursors, substrate, and carrier gas, can be carefully and comprehensively controlled to produce high-quality interfaces and wafer-scale products of vdWHs/vdWSLs. This review focuses on three types of bottom-up methods for the assembly of vdWHs and vdWSLs with atomically clean and electronically sharp interfaces: chemical/physical vapor deposition, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, and ultrahigh vacuum growth. These methods can intuitively illustrate the great flexibility and controllability of bottom-up methods for the preparation of vdWHs/vdWSLs. The latest progress in vdWHs and vdWSLs, related physical phenomena, and (opto)electronic devices are summarized. Finally, the authors discuss current challenges and future perspectives in the synthesis and application of vdWHs and vdWSLs.

Abstract
Organic ultrathin semiconductor nanostructures have attracted continuous attention in recent years owing to their excellent charge transport capability, favorable flexibility, solution-processability and adjustable photoelectric properties, providing opportunities for next-generation optoelectronic applications. For integrated electronics, organic ultrathin nanostructures need to be prepared as large-area patterns with precise alignment and high crystallinity to achieve organic electronic devices with high performance and high throughput. However, the fabrication of organic ultrathin nanostructure arrays still remains challenging due to uncontrollable growth along the height direction in solution processes. In this review, we first introduce the properties, assembly methods and applications of four typical organic ultrathin nanostructures, including small molecules, polymers, and other organic-inorganic hybrid materials. Five categories of representative solution-processing techniques for patterning organic micro- and nanostructures are summarized and discussed. Finally, challenges and perspectives in the controllable preparation of organic ultrathin arrays and potential applications are featured on the basis of their current development.

Abstract
The functionality of 2D molecular crystal-based devices crucially depends on their intrinsic properties, such as molecular energy levels, light absorption efficiency, and dielectric permittivity, which are highly sensitive to molecular aggregation. Here, it is demonstrated that the dielectric permittivity of the 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (C8 -BTBT) molecular crystals on monolayer WS2 substrates can be tuned from 4.62 in the wetting layer to 2.25 in the second layer. Its origin lies in the different molecular orientations in the wetting layer (lying-down) and in the subsequently stacked layers (standing-up), which lead to a positive Coulomb coupling (JCoup ) value (H-aggregation) and a negative JCoup value (J-aggregation), respectively. Polarized optical contrast spectroscopy reveals that the permittivity of C8 -BTBT is anisotropic, and its direction is related to the underlying substrate. The study offers guidelines for future manipulation of the permittivity of 2D molecular crystals, which may promote their applications toward various electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
A memristor is a two-terminal device with nonvolatile resistive switching (RS) behaviors. Recently, memristors have been highly desirable for both fundamental research and technological applications because of their great potential in the development of high-density memory technology and neuromorphic computing. Benefiting from the unique two-dimensional (2D) layered structure and outstanding properties, 2D materials have proven to be good candidates for use in gate-tunable, highly reliable, heterojunction-compatible, and low-power memristive devices. More intriguing, stable and reliable nonvolatile RS behaviors can be achieved in multi- and even monolayer 2D materials, which seems unlikely to be achieved in traditional oxides with thicknesses less than a few nanometers because of the leakage currents. Moreover, such two-terminal devices show a series of synaptic functionalities, suggesting applications in simulating a biological synapse in the neural network. In this review article, we summarize the recent progress in memristors based on inorganic and organic 2D materials, from the material synthesis, device structure and fabrication, and physical mechanism to some versatile memristors based on diverse 2D materials with good RS properties and memristor-based synaptic applications. The development prospects and challenges at the current stage are then highlighted, which is expected to inspire further advancements and new insights into the fields of information storage and neuromorphic computing.

Abstract
The preparation of large-area 2D conductive metal-organic framework (MOF) films remains highly desirable but challenging. Here, inspired by the capillary phenomenon, a face-to-face confinement growth method to grow conductive 2D Cu2 (TCPP) (TCPP = meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine) MOF films on dielectric substrates is developed. Trace amounts of solutions containing low-concentration Cu2+ and TCPP are pumped cyclically into a micropore interface to produce this growth. The crystal structures are confirmed with various characterization techniques, which include high-resolution atomic force microscopy and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (Cryo-TEM). The Cu2 (TCPP) MOF film exhibit an electrical conductivity of ≈0.007 S cm-1 , which is approximately four orders of magnitude higher than other carboxylic-acid-based MOF materials (10-6 S cm-1 ). Other wafer-scale conductive MOF films such as M3 (HHTP)2 (M = Cu, Co, and Ni; HHTP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-triphenylenehexol) can be produced utilizing this strategy and suggests this method has widescale applicability potential.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2020; 32:e2003315. [PMID: 33252160 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202003315] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2020] [Revised: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Monolayer organic crystals have attracted considerable attention due to their extraordinary optoelectronic properties. Solution self-assembly on the surface of water is an effective approach to fabricate monolayer organic crystals. However, due to the difficulties in controlling the spreading of organic solution on the water surface and the weak intermolecular interaction between the organic molecules, large-area growth of monolayer organic crystals remains a great challenge. Here, a graphene quantum dots (GQDs)-induced self-assembly method for centimeter-sized growth of monolayer organic crystals on a GQDs solution surface is reported. The spreading area of the organic solution can be readily controlled by tuning the pH value of the GQDs solution. Meanwhile, the π-π stacking interaction between the GQDs and the organic molecules can effectively reduce the nucleation energy of the organic molecules and afford a cohesive force to bond the crystals, enabling large-area growth of monolayer organic crystals. Using 2,7-didecyl benzothienobenzothiopene (C10-BTBT) as an examples, centimeter-sized monolayer C10-BTBT crystal with uniform molecular packing and crystal orientation is attained. Organic field-effect transistors based on the monolayer C10-BTBT crystals exhibit a high mobility up to 2.6 cm2 V-1 s-1, representing the highest mobility value for solution-assembled monolayer organic crystals. This work provides a feasible route for large-scale fabrication of monolayer organic crystals toward high-performance organic devices.

Abstract
Different from monolayer inorganic semiconductors, such as transition metal dichalcogenides, monolayer organic semiconductors derived from perylene have attracted much attention because of their strong absorption and bright photoluminescence (PL). Pressure has proved to be an effective tool in probing the exciton behavior in monolayer semiconductors. Here, by studying the high-pressure behavior of purely J-aggregated monolayer organic semiconductors experimentally and theoretically, we find a red shift of PL spectra due to a decrease of band gap, which is consistent with fluorescent images taken under pressure. The PL center dominates the perylene group and the band edges are flat, indicating Frenkel exciton in the monolayer organic semiconductor under ambient conditions. With increasing pressure, the band edges become more dispersive, suggesting the exciton transform to Wannier-Mott exciton, which is commonly observed in inorganic semiconductors.

Abstract
Organic electronics with π-conjugated organic semiconductors are promising candidates for the next electronics revolution. For the conductive channel, the large-area two-dimensional (2D) crystals of organic semiconductors (2DCOS) serve as useful scaffolds for modern organic electronics, benefiting not only from long-range order and low defect density nature but also from unique charge transport characteristic and photoelectrical properties. Meanwhile, the solution process with advantages of cost-effectiveness and room temperature compatibility is the foundation of high-throughput print electrical devices. Herein, we will give an insightful overview to witness the huge advances in 2DCOS over the past decade. First, the typical influencing factors and state-of-the-art assembly strategies of the solution-process for large-area 2DCOS over sub-millimeter even to wafer size are discussed accompanying rational evaluation. Then, the charge transport characteristics and contact resistance of 2DCOS-based transistors are explored. Following this, beyond single transistors, the p-n junction devices and planar integrated circuits based on 2DCOS are also emphasized. Furthermore, the burgeoning phototransistors (OPTs) based on crystals in the 2D limits are elaborated. Next, we emphasized the unique and enhanced photoelectrical properties based on a hybrid system with other 2D van der Waals solids. Finally, frontier insights and opportunities are proposed, promoting further research in this field.

Abstract
Perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) has been intensively investigated for decades because of its unique electronic and optical properties and its applications in organic electronics and surface engineering and passivation of 2D materials. Recently, the high demand for achieving selective area deposition in device fabrications drives the research of utilizing organic molecules as a passivation layer on metals in the semiconductor industry. PTCDA molecules show promising potential to be used as a passivation layer on a metal surface because of their ability to form self-assembled compact lying-down layers with the well-exposed inert conjugated molecular π-plane. However, the thermal and chemical stabilities of monolayer PTCDA on metal surfaces have not been thoroughly studied. In this paper, we demonstrate that monolayer PTCDA on Cu(110) and Cu(111) surfaces exhibit good thermal and chemical stabilities, as revealed through the combination of in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and in situ low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy measurements. We show that monolayer PTCDA on copper is stable up to 220 °C and decomposes to perylene at higher temperature. Monolayer PTCDA also shows good chemical stability when exposed to O2 and water, demonstrating good potential for its future applications as passivation layers in selective area deposition.

Abstract
We investigate domain formation and local morphology of thin films of α-sexithiophene (α-6T) on Au(100) beyond monolayer coverage by combining high resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments with electronic structure theory calculations and computational structure search. We report a layerwise growth of highly-ordered enantiopure domains. For the second and third layer, we show that the molecular orbitals of individual α-6T molecules can be well resolved by STM, providing access to detailed information on the molecular orientation. We find that already in the second layer the molecules abandon the flat adsorption structure of the monolayer and adopt a tilted conformation. Although the observed tilted arrangement resembles the orientation of α-6T in the bulk, the observed morphology does not yet correspond to a well-defined surface of the α-6T bulk structure. A similar behavior is found for the third layer indicating a growth mechanism where the bulk structure is gradually adopted over several layers.

Abstract
Excitons in two-dimensional (2D) materials are tightly bound and exhibit rich physics. So far, the optical excitations in 2D semiconductors are dominated by Wannier-Mott excitons, but molecular systems can host Frenkel excitons (FE) with unique properties. Here, we report a strong optical response in a class of monolayer molecular J-aggregates. The exciton exhibits giant oscillator strength and absorption (over 30% for monolayer) at resonance, as well as photoluminescence quantum yield in the range of 60–100%. We observe evidence of superradiance (including increased oscillator strength, bathochromic shift, reduced linewidth and lifetime) at room-temperature and more progressively towards low temperature. These unique properties only exist in monolayer owing to the large unscreened dipole interactions and suppression of charge-transfer processes. Finally, we demonstrate light-emitting devices with the monolayer J-aggregate. The intrinsic device speed could be beyond 30 GHz, which is promising for next-generation ultrafast on-chip optical communications. The optical response of inorganic two-dimensional semiconductors is dominated by Wannier-Mott excitons, but molecular systems can host localised Frenkel excitons. Here, the authors report strong optical response in a class of monolayer molecular J-aggregates due to the coherent Coulomb interaction between localised Frenkel excitons.

Abstract
Porphyrins are an extremely valuable class of molecules engaged in a variety of roles spanning from biology to optoelectronics. Manipulation of the chemical and physical properties of the inner cavity of porphyrins has been recognized as crucial for the exploitation of these systems in organic devices, particularly when porphyrins self-organize at the interface with a flat-on orientation of the macrocycle. Such an orientation has been mostly observed on metallic surfaces. Unfortunately, the physical-chemical properties of the molecules result in being largely perturbed due to the molecule-metal interaction. In addition, conducting substrates are unsuited to exploit electrically driven devices based on organic layers. To overcome these issues, we performed a topology-based analysis of insulating organic single crystal structures to identify a surface which (i) ensures easy exfoliation through mechanical methods, (ii) ensures epitaxial match with an overlayer of close-packed flat-on porphyrin molecules, and (iii) displays chirality. The outcome of this work is represented by a unique crystal of mixed 2,5-diketopiperazine and fumaric acid in a 1:1 ratio. We demonstrate that the (110) surface of this crystal fulfills the aforementioned requirements and, thanks to its peculiar subnanometric corrugations, allows one to grow uniaxially aligned monolayers of flat-on porphyrin molecules assembled through van der Waals interactions.

Abstract
The unique properties of hybrid heterostructures have motivated the integration of two or more different types of nanomaterials into a single optoelectronic device structure. Despite the promising features of organic semiconductors, such as their acceptable optoelectronic properties, availability of low-cost processes for their fabrication, and flexibility, further optimization of both material properties and device performances remains to be achieved. With the emergence of atomically thin 2D materials, they have been integrated with conventional organic semiconductors to form multidimensional heterostructures that overcome the present limitations and provide further opportunities in the field of optoelectronics. Herein, a comprehensive review of emerging 2D-organic heterostructures-from their synthesis and fabrication to their state-of-the-art optoelectronic applications-is presented. Future challenges and opportunities associated with these heterostructures are highlighted.

Abstract
This paper introduces a strategy to modulate a Schottky barrier formed at a graphene-semiconductor heterojunction. The modulation is performed by controlling the work function of graphene from a gate that is placed laterally away from the graphene-semiconductor junction, which we refer to as the remote gating of a Schottky barrier. The remote gating relies on the sensitive work function of graphene, whose local variation induced by locally applied field effect affects the change in the work function of the entire material. Using Kelvin probe force microscopy analysis, we directly visualize how this local variation in the work function propagates through graphene. These properties of graphene are exploited to assemble remote-gated vertical Schottky barrier transistors (v-SBTs) in an unconventional device architecture. Furthermore, a vertical complementary circuit is fabricated by simply stacking two remote-gated v-SBTs (pentacene layer as the p-channel and indium gallium zinc oxide layer as the n-channel) vertically. We consider that the remote gating of graphene and the associated device architecture presented herein facilitate the extendibility of graphene-based v-SBTs in the vertical assembly of logic circuits.

Abstract
Flexible electronics have attracted considerable attention recently given their potential to revolutionize human lives. High-performance organic crystalline materials (OCMs) are considered strong candidates for next-generation flexible electronics such as displays, image sensors, and artificial skin. They not only have great advantages in terms of flexibility, molecular diversity, low-cost, solution processability, and inherent compatibility with flexible substrates, but also show less grain boundaries with minimal defects, ensuring excellent and uniform electronic characteristics. Meanwhile, OCMs also serve as a powerful tool to probe the intrinsic electronic and mechanical properties of organics and reveal the flexible device physics for further guidance for flexible materials and device design. While the past decades have witnessed huge advances in OCM-based flexible electronics, this review is intended to provide a timely overview of this fascinating field. First, the crystal packing, charge transport, and assembly protocols of OCMs are introduced. State-of-the-art construction strategies for aligned/patterned OCM on/into flexible substrates are then discussed in detail. Following this, advanced OCM-based flexible devices and their potential applications are highlighted. Finally, future directions and opportunities for this field are proposed, in the hope of providing guidance for future research.

Abstract
Two-dimensional layered materials (2DLMs) are of considerable interest for high-performance electronic devices for their unique electronic properties and atomically thin geometry. However, the atomically thin geometry makes their electronic properties highly susceptible to the environment changes. In particular, some 2DLMs (e.g., black phosphorus (BP) and SnSe2) are unstable and could rapidly degrade over time when exposed to ambient conditions. Therefore, the development of proper passivation schemes that can preserve the intrinsic properties and enhance their lifetime represents a key challenge for these atomically thin electronic materials. Herein we introduce a simple, nondisruptive, and scalable van der Waals passivation approach by using organic thin films to simultaneously improve the performance and air stability of BP field-effect transistors (FETs). We show that dioctylbenzothienobenzothiophene (C8-BTBT) thin films can be readily deposited on BP via van der Waals epitaxy approach to protect BP against oxidation in ambient conditions over 20 d. Importantly, the noncovalent van der Waals interface between C8-BTBT and BP effectively preserves the intrinsic properties of BP, allowing us to demonstrate high-performance BP FETs with a record-high current density of 920 μA/um, hole drift velocity over 1 × 107 cm/s, and on/off ratio of 1 × 104 to ∼1 × 107 at room temperature. This approach is generally applicable to other unstable two-dimensional materials, defining a unique pathway to modulate their electronic properties and realize high-performance devices through hybrid heterojunctions.

Abstract
Just as biological synapses provide basic functions for the nervous system, artificial synaptic devices serve as the fundamental building blocks of neuromorphic networks; thus, developing novel artificial synapses is essential for neuromorphic computing. By exploiting the band alignment between 2D inorganic and organic semiconductors, the first multi-functional synaptic transistor based on a molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 )/perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) hybrid heterojunction, with remarkable short-term plasticity (STP) and long-term plasticity (LTP), is reported. Owing to the elaborate design of the energy band structure, both robust electrical and optical modulation are achieved through carriers transfer at the interface of the heterostructure, which is still a challenging task to this day. In electrical modulation, synaptic inhibition and excitation can be achieved simultaneously in the same device by gate voltage tuning. Notably, a minimum inhibition of 3% and maximum facilitation of 500% can be obtained by increasing the electrical number, and the response to different frequency signals indicates a dynamic filtering characteristic. It exhibits flexible tunability of both STP and LTP and synaptic weight changes of up to 60, far superior to previous work in optical modulation. The fully 2D MoS2 /PTCDA hybrid heterojunction artificial synapse opens up a whole new path for the urgent need for neuromorphic computation devices.

Abstract
The newly emerging field in organic electronics is to control the molecule-substrate interface properties at a two-dimensional (2D) limit via interfacial interactions, which paves the way for driving the molecular assembly for highly ordered 2D molecular crystalline films with precise molecular layers and large-area uniformity. Here, by exploiting molecule-substrate van der Waals (vdW) interactions, we demonstrate thermally induced self-assembly of 2D organic crystalline films exhibiting well-defined molecular layer number over a millimeter-sized area. The organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with bilayer films show excellent electrical performance with a maximum mobility of 12.8 cm2 V-1 s-1. Moreover, we find that the monolayer films can act as interfacial molecular templates to construct heterojunctions with well-balanced ambipolar transport behaviors. The capability of thermally induced self-assembly of 2D molecular crystalline films with controllable molecular layers and scale-up coverage opens up a way for realizing complicated electronic applications, such as lateral heterojunctions and superlattices.

Abstract
2D organic semiconductor crystals are emerging as a fascinating platform with regard to their applications in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), attributed to their enhanced charge transport efficiency and their new optoelectronic functions, based on their unique morphological features. Advances in material processing techniques have not only enabled easy fabrication of few-monolayered 2D nanostructures but also facilitated exploration of the interesting properties induced by characteristic 2D morphologies. However, to date, only a limited number of representative organic semiconductors have been utilized in organic 2D optoelectronics. Therefore, in order to further spur this research, an intuitive crystal engineering principle for realizing organic 2D crystals is required. In this regard, here, not only the important implications of applying 2D structures to OFET devices are discussed but also a crystal engineering protocol is provided that first predicts molecular arrangements depending on the molecular factors, which is followed by realizing 2D supramolecular synthon networks for different molecular packing motifs. It is expected that 2D organic semiconductor crystals developed by this approach will pave a promising way toward next-generation organic 2D optoelectronics.

Abstract
2D materials and heterostructures have attracted significant attention for a variety of nanoelectronic and optoelectronic applications. At the atomically thin limit, the material characteristics and functionalities are dominated by surface chemistry and interface coupling. Therefore, methods for comprehensively characterizing and precisely controlling surfaces and interfaces are required to realize the full technological potential of 2D materials. Here, the surface and interface properties that govern the performance of 2D materials are introduced. Then the experimental approaches that resolve surface and interface phenomena down to the atomic scale, as well as strategies that allow tuning and optimization of interfacial interactions in van der Waals heterostructures, are systematically reviewed. Finally, a future outlook that delineates the remaining challenges and opportunities for 2D material interface characterization and control is presented.

Abstract
We report the photoluminescence (PL) characteristics of a van der Waals (vdW) heterojunction constructed by simply depositing an organic semiconductor of 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) onto a two-dimensional MoS2 monolayer. The crystallinity of PTCDA on MoS2 is significantly improved due to the vdW epitaxial growth. We observe an enhanced PL intensity and PL peak shift of the MoS2/PTCDA heterojunction compared with the solo MoS2 and PTCDA layer. The synergistic PL characteristics are believed to originate from the hybridization interaction between the MoS2 and the PTCDA as evidenced by density functional theory calculations and Raman measurements. The hybridization interfacial interaction is found to be greatly influenced by the crystalline ordering of the PTCDA film on the 2D MoS2. Our study opens up a new avenue to tune the PL of vdW heterojunctions consisting of TMDs and organic semiconductors for optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
The existence of defects and traps in a transistor plays an adverse role on efficient charge transport. In response to this challenge, extensive research has been conducted on semiconductor crystalline materials in the past decades. However, the development of dielectric crystals for transistors is still in its infancy due to the lack of appropriate dielectric crystalline materials and, most importantly, the crystal morphology required by the gate dielectric layer, which is also crucial for the construction of high-performance transistor as it can greatly improve the interfacial quality of carrier transport path. Here, a new type of dielectric crystal of hexagonal aluminum nitride (AlN) with the desired 2D morphology of combing thin thickness with large lateral dimension is synthesized. Such a suitable morphology in combination with the outstanding dielectric properties of AlN makes it promising as a gate dielectric for transistors. Furthermore, ultrathin 2,6-diphenylanthracene molecular crystals with only a few molecular layers can be prepared on AlN crystal via van der Waals epitaxy. As a result, this all-crystalline system incorporating dielectric and semiconductor crystals greatly enhances the overall performance of a transistor, indicating the importance of minimizing defects and preparing high-quality semiconductor/dielectric interface in a transistor configuration.

Abstract
In organic field-effect transistors, the first few molecular layers at the semiconductor/dielectric interface are regarded as the active channel for charge transport; thus, great efforts have been devoted to the modification and optimization of molecular packing at such interfaces. Here, we report organic monolayers with large-area uniformity and high crystallinity deposited by an antisolvent-assisted spin-coating method acting as the templating layers between the dielectric and thermally evaporated semiconducting layers. The predeposited crystalline monolayers significantly enhance the film crystallinity of upper layers and the overall performance of transistors using these hybrid-deposited semiconducting films, showing a high carrier mobility up to 11.3 cm2 V-1 s-1. Additionally, patterned transistor arrays composed of the templating monolayers are fabricated, yielding an average mobility of 7.7 cm2 V-1 s-1. This work demonstrates a promising method for fabricating low-cost, high-performance, and large-area organic electronics.

Abstract
With the profuse amount of two-dimensional (2D) materials discovered and the improvements in their synthesis and handling, the field of 2D heterostructures has gained increased interest in recent years. Such heterostructures not only overcome the inherent limitations of each of the materials, but also allow the realization of novel properties by their proper combination. The physical and mechanical properties of graphene mean it has a prominent place in the area of 2D heterostructures. In this review, we will discuss the evolution and current state in the synthesis and applications of graphene-based 2D heterostructures. In addition to stacked and in-plane heterostructures with other 2D materials and their potential applications, we will also cover heterostructures realized with lower dimensionality materials, along with intercalation in few-layer graphene as a special case of a heterostructure. Finally, graphene heterostructures produced using liquid phase exfoliation techniques and their applications to energy storage will be reviewed.

Abstract
Semiconducting polymers with π-conjugated electronic structures have potential application in the large-scale printable fabrication of high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices. However, owing to their poor environmental stability and high-cost synthesis, polymer semiconductors possess limited device implementation. Here, an approach for constructing a π-conjugated polymer/graphene composite material to circumvent these limitations is provided, and then this material is patterned into 1D arrays. Driven by the π-π interaction, several-layer polymers can be adsorbed onto the graphene planes. The low consumption of the high-cost semiconductor polymers and the mass production of graphene contribute to the low-cost fabrication of the π-conjugated polymer/graphene composite materials. Based on the π-conjugated system, a reduced π-π stacking distance between graphene and the polymer can be achieved, yielding enhanced charge-transport properties. Owing to the incorporation of graphene, the composite material shows improved thermal stability. More generally, it is believed that the construction of the π-conjugated composite shows clear possibility of integrating organic molecules and 2D materials into microstructure arrays for property-by-design fabrication of functional devices with large area, low cost, and high efficiency.

Abstract
High-quality two-dimensional atomic layered p–n heterostructures are essential for high-performance integrated optoelectronics. The studies to date have been largely limited to exfoliated and restacked flakes, and the controlled growth of such heterostructures remains a significant challenge. Here we report the direct van der Waals epitaxial growth of large-scale WSe2/SnS2 vertical bilayer p–n junctions on SiO2/Si substrates, with the lateral sizes reaching up to millimeter scale. Multi-electrode field-effect transistors have been integrated on a single heterostructure bilayer. Electrical transport measurements indicate that the field-effect transistors of the junction show an ultra-low off-state leakage current of 10−14 A and a highest on–off ratio of up to 107. Optoelectronic characterizations show prominent photoresponse, with a fast response time of 500 μs, faster than all the directly grown vertical 2D heterostructures. The direct growth of high-quality van der Waals junctions marks an important step toward high-performance integrated optoelectronic devices and systems. Growth of large area and defect-free two-dimensional semiconductor layers for high-performance p–n junction applications has been a great challenge. Yang et al. prepare millimeter-scaled WSe2/SnS2 vertical heterojunctions by two-step van der Waals epitaxy, which show excellent optoelectronic properties.

Abstract
Interfacing light-sensitive semiconductors with graphene can afford high-gain phototransistors by the multiplication effect of carriers in the semiconductor layer. So far, most devices consist of one semiconductor light-absorbing layer, where the lack of internal built-in field can strongly reduce the quantum efficiency and bandwidth. Here, we demonstrate a much improved graphene phototransistor performances using an epitaxial organic heterostructure composed of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) and pentacene as the light-absorbing layer. Compared with single light-absorbing material, the responsivity and response time can be simultaneously improved by 1 and 2 orders of magnitude over a broad band of 400-700 nm, under otherwise the same experimental conditions. As a result, the external quantum efficiency increases by over 800 times. Furthermore, the response time of the heterostructured phototransistor is highly gate-tunable down to sub-30 μs, which is among the fastest in the sensitized graphene phototransistors interfacing with electrically passive light-absorbing semiconductors. We show that the improvement is dominated by the efficient electron-hole pair dissociation due to interfacial built-in field rather than bulk absorption. The structure demonstrated here can be extended to many other organic and inorganic semiconductors, which opens new possibilities for high-performance graphene-based optoelectronics.

Abstract
Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with high mobility and low contact resistance have been actively pursued as building blocks for low-cost organic electronics. In conventional solution-processed or vacuum-deposited OTFTs, due to interfacial defects and traps, the organic film has to reach a certain thickness for efficient charge transport. Using an ultimate monolayer of 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (C8-BTBT) molecules as an OTFT channel, we demonstrate remarkable electrical characteristics, including intrinsic hole mobility over 30 cm2/Vs, Ohmic contact with 100 Ω · cm resistance, and band-like transport down to 150 K. Compared to conventional OTFTs, the main advantage of a monolayer channel is the direct, nondisruptive contact between the charge transport layer and metal leads, a feature that is vital for achieving low contact resistance and current saturation voltage. On the other hand, bilayer and thicker C8-BTBT OTFTs exhibit strong Schottky contact and much higher contact resistance but can be improved by inserting a doped graphene buffer layer. Our results suggest that highly crystalline molecular monolayers are promising form factors to build high-performance OTFTs and investigate device physics. They also allow us to precisely model how the molecular packing changes the transport and contact properties.

Abstract
The unique density of states and exceptionally low electrical noise allow graphene-based field effect devices to be utilized as extremely sensitive potentiometers for probing charge transfer with adsorbed species. On the other hand, molecular level alignment at the interface with electrodes can strongly influence the performance of organic-based devices. For this reason, interfacial band engineering is crucial for potential applications of graphene/organic semiconductor heterostructures. Here, we demonstrate charge transfer between graphene and two molecular semiconductors, parahexaphenyl and buckminsterfullerene C60. Through in-situ measurements, we directly probe the charge transfer as the interfacial dipoles are formed. It is found that the adsorbed molecules do not affect electron scattering rates in graphene, indicating that charge transfer is the main mechanism governing the level alignment. From the amount of transferred charge and the molecular coverage of the grown films, the amount of charge transferred per adsorbed molecule is estimated, indicating very weak interaction.

Abstract
Two dimensional (2D) molecular crystals have attracted considerable attention because of their promising potential in electrical device applications, such as high-performance field-effect transistors (FETs). However, such devices demand high voltages, thereby considerably increasing power consumption. This study demonstrates the fabrication of organic FETs based on 2D crystalline films as semiconducting channels. The application of high-κ oxide dielectrics allows the transistors run under a low operating voltage (-4 V). The devices exhibited a high electrical performance with a carrier mobility up to 9.8 cm2 V-1 s-1. Further results show that the AlOx layer is beneficial to the charge transport at the conducting channels of FETs. Thus, the device strategy presented in this work is favorable for 2D molecular crystal-based transistors that can operate under low voltages.

Abstract
Following the development of many novel two-dimensional (2D) materials, investigations of van der Waals heterojunctions (vdWHs) have attracted significant attention due to their excellent properties such as smooth heterointerface, highly gate-tunable bandgap, and ultrafast carrier transport. Benefits from the atom-scale thickness, physical and chemical properties and ease of manipulation of the heterojunctions formulated by weak vdW forces were demonstrated to indicate their outstanding potential in electronic and optoelectronic applications, including photodetection and energy harvesting, and the possibility of integrating them with the existing semiconductor technology for the next-generation electronic and sensing devices. In this review, we summarized the recent developments of vdWHs and emphasized their applications. Basically, we introduced the physical properties and some newly discovered phenomena in vdWHs. Then, we emphatically presented four classical vdWHs and some novel heterostructures formed by vdW forces. Based on their unique physical properties and structures, we highlighted the applications of vdWHs including in photodiodes, phototransistors, tunneling devices, and memory devices. Finally, we provided a conclusion on the recent advances in vdWHs and outlined our perspectives. We aim for this review to serve as a solid foundation in this field and to pave the way for future research on vdW-based materials and their heterostructures.

Abstract
An effective passivation approach to protect black phosphorus (BP) from degradation based on multi-scale simulations is proposed. The self-assembly of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride monolayers via van der Waals epitaxy on BP does not break the original electronic properties of BP. The passivation layer thickness is only 2 nm. This study opens up a new pathway toward fine passivation of BP.
