Abstract
With the demand for high-performance and miniaturized semiconductor devices continuously rising, the development of innovative tunneling transistors via efficient stacking methods using two-dimensional (2D) building blocks has paramount importance in the electronic industry. Hence, 2D semiconductors with atomically thin geometries hold significant promise for advancements in electronics. In this study, we introduced tunneling memtransistors with a thin-film heterostructure composed of 2D semiconducting MoS2 and WSe2. Devices with the dual function of tuning and memory operation were realized by the gate-regulated modulation of the barrier height at the heterojunction and manipulation of intrinsic defects within the exfoliated nanoflakes using solution processes. Further, our investigation revealed extensive edge defects and four distinct defect types, namely monoselenium vacancies, diselenium vacancies, tungsten vacancies, and tungsten adatoms, in the interior of electrochemically exfoliated WSe2 nanoflakes. Additionally, we constructed complementary metal-oxide semiconductor-based logic-in-memory devices with a small static power in the range of picowatts using the developed tunneling memtransistors, demonstrating a promising approach for next-generation low-power nanoelectronics.

High Selectivity and Sensitivity in Chemiresistive Sensing of Co(II) Ions with Liquid-Phase Exfoliated Functionalized MoS 2 : A Supramolecular Approach. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2208100.

Abstract
Chemical sensing of water contamination by heavy metal ions is key as it represents a most severe environmental problem. Liquid-phase exfoliated two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are suitable candidates for chemical sensing thanks to their high surface-to-volume ratio, sensitivity, unique electrical characteristics, and scalability. However, TMDs lack selectivity due to nonspecific analyte-nanosheet interactions. To overcome this drawback, defect engineering enables controlled functionalization of 2D TMDs. Here, ultrasensitive and selective sensors of cobalt(II) ions via the covalent functionalization of defect-rich MoS2 flakes with a specific receptor, 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine-4'-thiol is developed. A continuous network is assembled by healing of MoS2 sulfur vacancies in a tailored microfluidic approach, enabling high control over the assembly of thin and large hybrid films. The Co2+ cations complexation represents a powerful gauge for low concentrations of cationic species which can be best monitored in a chemiresisitive ion sensor, featuring a 1 pm limit of detection, sensing in a broad concentration range (1 pm - 1 µm) and sensitivity as high as 0.308 ± 0.010 lg([Co2+ ])-1 combined with a high selectivity towards Co2+ over K+ , Ca2+ , Mn2+ , Cu2+ , Cr3+ , and Fe3+ cations. This supramolecular approach based on highly specific recognition can be adapted for sensing other analytes through specific ad-hoc receptors.

Patching sulfur vacancies: A versatile approach for achieving ultrasensitive gas sensors based on transition metal dichalcogenides. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 649:909-917. [PMID: 37390538 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.06.092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/02/2023]
Abstract
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) garner significant attention for their potential to create high-performance gas sensors. Despite their favorable properties such as tunable bandgap, high carrier mobility, and large surface-to-volume ratio, the performance of TMDCs devices is compromised by sulfur vacancies, which reduce carrier mobility. To mitigate this issue, we propose a simple and universal approach for patching sulfur vacancies, wherein thiol groups are inserted to repair sulfur vacancies. The sulfur vacancy patching (SVP) approach is applied to fabricate a MoS2-based gas sensor using mechanical exfoliation and all-dry transfer methods, and the resulting 4-nitrothiophenol (4NTP) repaired molybdenum disulfide (4NTP-MoS2) is prepared via a sample solution process. Our results show that 4NTP-MoS2 exhibits higher response (increased by 200 %) to ppb-level NO2 with shorter response/recovery times (61/82 s) and better selectivity at 25 °C compared to pristine MoS2. Notably, the limit of detection (LOD) toward NO2 of 4NTP-MoS2 is 10 ppb. Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) and density functional theory (DFT) reveal that the improved gas sensing performance is mainly attributed to the 4NTP-induced n-doping effect on MoS2 and the corresponding increment of surface absorption energy to NO2. Additionally, our 4NTP-induced SVP approach is universal for enhancing gas sensing properties of other TMDCs, such as MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2.

Abstract
MoS2/bio-template carbon composite materials with outstanding photocatalytic degradation performance were constructed and synthesized by an impregnation–hydrothermal–calcination (IHC) method. Composites of the same type were synthesized by a direct-impregnation–calcination (DIC) method for comparison. The results showed that calcination process was obtained from biotemplate carbon with preserved structure. IHC method obtained petal-like MoS2, while DIC method obtained needle-like MoS2. The composite material exhibits adsorption–catalytic degradation performance. Driven by visible light, the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of the composites synthesized by IHC method for humic acid reached 98.73% after 150 min of illumination.
