Abstract
Infrared detectors have broad application prospects in the fields of detection and communication. Using ideal materials and good device structure is crucial for achieving high-performance infrared detectors. Here, we utilized black phosphorus (BP) and single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films to construct a vertical van der Waals heterostructure, resulting in high-performance photovoltaic infrared detectors. In the device, a strong built-in electric field was formed in the heterojunction with a favored energy-band matching between the BP and the SWCNT, which caused a good photovoltaic effect. The fabricated devices exhibited a diode-like rectification behavior in the dark, which had a high rectification ratio up to a magnitude of 104 and a low ideal factor of 1.4. Under 1550 nm wavelength illumination, the 2D BP/SWCNT film photodetector demonstrated an open-circuit voltage of 0.34 V, a large external power conversion efficiency (η) of 7.5% and a high specific detectivity (D*) of 3.1 × 109 Jones. This external η was the highest among those for the photovoltaic devices fabricated with the SWCNTs or the heterostructures based on 2D materials and the obtained D* was also higher than those for most of the infrared detectors based on 2D materials or carbon materials. This work showcases the application potential of BP and SWCNTs in the detection field.

Abstract
The performance of diodes, which are the basic building blocks in integrated circuits, highly depends on the materials used. Black phosphorus (BP) and carbon nanomaterials with unique structures and excellent properties can form heterostructures with favorable band matching to fully utilize their respective advantages and thus achieve high diode performance. Here, high-performance Schottky junction diodes based on a two-dimensional (2D) BP/single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) film heterostructure and a BP nanoribbon (PNR) film/graphene heterostructure were investigated for the first time. The fabricated Schottky diode based on the heterostructure with the 10 nm-thick 2D BP stacked on the SWCNT film had a rectification ratio of 2978 and a low ideal factor of 1.5. The Schottky diode based on the heterostructure with the PNR film stacked on the graphene exhibited a high rectification ratio of 4455 and an ideal factor of 1.9. The high rectification ratios for both devices were attributed to the large Schottky barriers formed between the BP and carbon materials, thus leading to a small reverse current. We found that the thickness of the 2D BP in the 2D BP/SWCNT film Schottky diode and the stacking order of the heterostructure in the PNR film/graphene Schottky diode had a significant effect on the rectification ratio. Furthermore, the rectification ratio and breakdown voltage of the resulting PNR film/graphene Schottky diode were larger than those of the 2D BP/SWCNT film Schottky diode, which was attributed to the larger bandgap of the PNRs compared to the 2D BP. This study demonstrates that high-performance diodes can be achieved via the collaborative application of BP and carbon nanomaterials.

Abstract
Assembling different kinds of 2D nanosheets into heterostructures presents a promising way of designing novel artificial materials with new and improved functionalities by combining the unique properties of each component. In the past few years, black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) have been recognized as a highly feasible 2D material with outstanding electronic properties, a tunable bandgap, and strong in-plane anisotropy, highlighting their suitability as a material for constructing heterostructures. In this study, recent progress in the construction of BPNS-based heterostructures ranging from 2D hybrid structures to 3D networks is discussed, emphasizing the different types of interactions (covalent or noncovalent) between individual layers. The preparation methods, optical and electronic properties, and various applications of these heterostructures-including electronic and optoelectronic devices, energy storage devices, photocatalysis and electrocatalysis, and biological applications-are discussed. Finally, critical challenges and prospective research aspects in BPNS-based heterostructures are also highlighted.

Abstract
One-dimensional (1D)/2D heterostructures have attracted great attention in electronic and optoelectronic fields because of their unique geometrical structures and rich physics. Here, we systematically explore electronic structure and optical performance of single-wall carbon nanotube (CNT)/phosphorene (BP) hybrids by large-scale density functional theory (DFT) computation. The results show that the interfacial interaction between CNT and BP is a weak van der Waals (vdW) force and correlates with tube diameter of CNTs. The CNT/BP hybrids have strong optical absorption compared with that of individual BP and CNT. A diameter-dependent type I or II heterojunction in CNT/BP hybrids is observed. Moreover, CNTs can not only significantly promote photogenerated carrier transfer, but also effectively improve the photocatalytic activities of BP as a co-catalyst. These findings would enrich our understanding of BP-based 1D/2D heterostructures, providing further insight into the design of highly efficient phosphorene-based or CNT-based nanophotocatalysts.

Abstract
The structural and electronic properties of a monolayer and bilayer blue phosphorene/graphene-like GaN van der Waals heterostructures are studied using first-principle calculations. The results show that the monolayer-blue phosphorene/graphene-like GaN heterostructure is an indirect bandgap semiconductor with intrinsic type II band alignment. More importantly, the external electric field tunes the bandgap of monolayer-blue phosphorene/graphene-like GaN and bilayer-blue phosphorene/graphene-like GaN, and the relationship between bandgap and external electric field indicates a Stark effect. The semiconductor-to-metal transition is observed in the presence of a strong electric field.

Abstract
Reversible manipulation of the magnetic behavior of two-dimensional van der Waals crystals is crucial for expanding their applications in spin-based information-processing technologies. However, to date, most experimental approaches to tune the magnetic properties are single way and have very limited practical applications. Here, we report an interface charge-transfer method for obtaining a reversible and air-stable magnetic response at room temperature in Mn-doped MoS2 nanosheets. By adsorption of benzyl viologen (BV) molecules as the charge donor, the saturation magnetization of Mn-doped MoS2 nanosheets is enhanced by a magnitude of 60%, and the magnetization can be restored to the original value when the adsorbed BV molecules are removed. This cycle can be repeated many times on the same sample without detectable degradation. Experimental characterizations and first-principles calculations suggest that the enhanced magnetization can be attributed to the increase of Mn magnetic moment because of the enriched electrons transferred from BV molecules. This work shows that interface charge transfer may open up a new pathway for reversibly tuning the exchange interactions in two-dimensional nanostructures.

Abstract
Here, we report electronic and optoelectronic performance of multilayer In2Se3 are effectively regulated by phase engineering. The electron mobility is increased to 22.8 cm2 V-1 s-1 for β-In2Se3 FETs, which is 18 times higher than 1.26 cm2 V-1 s-1 of α-In2Se3 FETs. The enhanced electronic performance is attributed to larger carrier sheet density and lower contact resistance. Multilayer β-In2Se3 photodetector exhibits an ultrahigh responsivity of 8.8 × 104 A/W under 800 nm illumination, which is 574 times larger than 154.4 A/W of α-In2Se3 photodetector. Our results demonstrate phase-engineering is a valid way to tune and further optimize electronic and optoelectronic performance of multilayer In2Se3 nanodevices.

Abstract
The emergence of ever-growing two-dimensional (2D) materials has made revolutionary innovations on van der Waals (vdW) heterostructural designs by integrating them with other low-dimensional materials to achieve unprecedented and/or multiple functionalities that are beyond individual components. Guided by full-scale molecular dynamics simulations, we present a mixed-dimensional heterostructure by vertically stacking one-dimensional (1D) and 2D materials through noncovalent vdW interactions and demonstrate that the thermal conductance can be generalized into a unified model by incorporating their mechanical properties and geometric features. Simulation analyses further reveal the strong dependence of thermal conductance on the location and magnitude of an external pressure loading applied to the local vdW heterojunctions. The underlying thermal transport mechanism is uncovered through the elucidation of the mechanical deformation, curvature morphology, and density of atomic interactions at the heterojunctions. A proof-of-conceptual design of such a heterostructure-enabled pressure sensor is explored by utilizing the unique response of thermal transport to mechanical deformation at heterojunctions. These designs and models are expected to broaden the applications and functionalities of mixed-dimensional heterostructures and will also offer an alternative strategy to leverage thermal transport mechanisms in the design of high-performance vdW heterostructure-enabled sensors.
