Ultrafast Formation of Charge Transfer Trions at Molecular-Functionalized 2D MoS 2 Interfaces. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202405123. [PMID: 38714495 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202405123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/10/2024]
Abstract
In this work, we investigate trion dynamics occurring at the heterojunction between organometallic molecules and a monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) with transient electronic sum frequency generation (tr-ESFG) spectroscopy. By pumping at 2.4 eV with laser pulses, we have observed an ultrafast hole transfer, succeeded by the emergence of charge-transfer trions. This observation is facilitated by the cancellation of ground state bleach and stimulated emission signals due to their opposite phases, making tr-ESFG especially sensitive to the trion formation dynamics. The presence of charge-transfer trion at molecular functionalized TMD monolayers suggests the potential for engineering the local electronic structures and dynamics of specific locations on TMDs and offers a potential for transferring unique electronic attributes of TMD to the molecular layers.

Abstract
Understanding the electronic structure of mixed-dimensional heterostructures is essential for maximizing their application potential. However, accurately modeling such interfaces is challenging due to the complex interplay between the subsystems. We employ a computational framework integrating first-principles methods, including GW, density functional theory (DFT), and the polarizable continuum model, to elucidate the electronic structure of mixed-dimensional heterojunctions formed by free-base phthalocyanines and monolayer molybdenum disulfide. We assess the impact of dielectric screening across various scenarios, from isolated molecules to organic films on a substrate-supported monolayer. Our findings show that while polarization effects cause significant renormalization of molecular energy levels, band energies and alignments in the most relevant setup can be accurately predicted through DFT simulations of the individual subsystems. Additionally, we analyze orbital hybridization, revealing potential pathways for interfacial charge transfer. This study offers new insights into hybrid inorganic/organic interfaces and provides a practical computational protocol suitable for scaled-up studies.

Abstract
In this study we develop a strategy to insulate 6,6 -Phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) on the basal plane of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Concretely single layers of MoS2, MoSe2, MoTe2, WS2, WSe2 and WTe2 and ultrathin MoO2 and WO2 were grown via chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Then, the thiol group of a PCBM modified with cysteine reacts with the chalcogen vacancies on the basal plane of TMDs, yielding PCBM-MoS2, PCBM-MoSe2, PCBM-WS2, PCBM-WSe2, PCBM-WTe2, PCBM-MoO2 and PCBM-WO2. Afterwards, all the hybrid materials were characterized using several techniques, including XPS, Raman spectroscopy, TEM, AFM, and cyclic voltammetry. Furthermore, PCBM causes a unique optical and electrical impact in every TMDs. For MoS2 devices, the conductivity and photoluminescence (PL) emission achieve a remarkable enhancement of 1700 % and 200 % in PCBM-MoS2 hybrids. Similarly, PCBM-MoTe2 hybrids exhibit a 2-fold enhancement in PL emission at 1.1 eV. On the other hand, PCBM-MoSe2, PCBM-WSe2 and PCBM-WS2 hybrids exhibited a new interlayer exciton at 1.29-1.44, 1.7 and 1.37-154 eV along with an enhancement of the photo-response by 2400, 3200 and 600 %, respectively. Additionally, PCBM-WTe2 and PCBM-WO2 showed a modest photo-response, in sharp contrast with pristine WTe2 or WO2 which archive pure metallic character.

Abstract
2D materials-based broadband photodetectors have extensive applications in security monitoring and remote sensing fields, especially in supersonic aircraft that require reliable performance under extreme high-temperature conditions. However, the integration of large-area heterostructures with 2D materials often involves high-temperature deposition methods, and also limited options and size of substrates. Herein, a liquid-phase spin-coating method is presented based on the interface engineering to prepare larger-area Van der Waals heterojunctions of black phosphorus (BP)/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) films at room temperature on arbitrary substrates of any required size. Importantly, this method avoids the common requirement of high-temperature, and prevents the curling or stacking in 2D materials during the liquid-phase film formation. The BP/RGO films-based devices exhibit a wide spectral photo-response, ranging from the visible of 532 nm to infrared range of 2200 nm. Additionally, due to Van der Waals interface of Schottky junction, the array devices provide infrared detection at temperatures up to 400 K, with an outstanding photoresponsivity (R) of 12 A W-1 and a specific detectivity (D*) of ≈2.4 × 109 Jones. This work offers an efficient approach to fabricate large-area 2D Schottky junction films by solution-coating for high-temperature infrared photodetectors.

Abstract
The van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures composed of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and organic semiconductors demonstrate numerous compelling optoelectronic properties. However, the influence of the vdW epitaxial effect and temperature on the optoelectronic properties and interface exciton dynamics of heterostructures remains unclear. This study systematically investigates the fluorescence properties of TiOPc/WSe2 heterostructure. Comprehensive spectral characterization elucidates that the emission behavior of the TiOPc/WSe2 heterostructure arises from charge/energy transfer at the heterostructure interfaces and the structural ordering of the organic layer on the 2D monolayer WSe2 induced by vdW epitaxy. The interface exciton dynamic features probed by ultrafast transient spectroscopy reveal that the face-to-face molecular stacking configuration of TiOPc exhibits ultrafast exciton dynamics. In particular, we observe picosecond-scale absorption of organic molecular dimer cations, providing direct evidence of interface charge transfer at room temperature. Moreover, energy transfer from the TiOPc to WSe2 may exist based on the tunability in the fluorescence emission of the TiOPc/WSe2 heterostructure as the temperature changes. This study unveils the critical role of vdW epitaxy and temperature in the exciton dynamics of organic/2D TMDs hybrid systems and provides guidance for studying interlayer charge and energy transfer in organic/inorganic heterostructures.

Abstract
Molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) as an emerging optoelectronic material, shows great potential for phototransistors owing to its atomic thickness, adjustable band gap, and low cost. However, the phototransistors based on MoS2have been shown to have some issues such as large gate leakage current, and interfacial scattering, resulting in suboptimal optoelectronic performance. Thus, Al-doped hafnium oxide (Hf1-xAlx) is proposed to be a dielectric layer of the MoS2-based phototransistor to solve this problem because of the relatively higher crystallization temperature and dielectric constant. Here, a high-performance MoS2phototransistor with Hf1-xAlxO gate dielectric layer grown by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition has been fabricated and studied. The results show that the phototransistor exhibits a high responsivity of 2.2 × 104A W-1, a large detectivity of 1.7 × 1017Jones, a great photo-to-dark current ratio of 2.2 × 106%, and a high external quantum efficiency of 4.4 × 106%. The energy band alignment and operating mechanism were further used to clarify the reason for the enhanced MoS2phototransistor. The suggested MoS2phototransistors could provide promising strategies in further optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Despite the large binding energy of charge transfer (CT) excitons in type-II organic/2D heterostructures, it has been demonstrated that free carriers can be generated from CT excitons with a long lifetime. Using a model fluorinated zine phthalocyanine (F8ZnPc)/monolayer-WS2 interface, we find that CT excitons can dissociate spontaneously into free carriers despite it being an enthalpy-uphill process. Specifically, it is observed that CT excitons can gain an energy of 250 meV in 50 ps and dissociate into free carriers without any applied electric field. This observation is surprising because excited electrons typically lose energy to the environment and relax to lower energy states. We hypothesize that this abnormal enthalpy-uphill CT exciton dissociation process is driven by entropy gain. Kinetically, the entropic driving force can also reduce the rate for the reverse process - the conversion of free electron-hole pairs back to CT excitons. Hence, this mechanism can potentially explain the very long carrier lifetime observed in organic/2D heterostructures.

Abstract
Studying the photoinduced changes of materials with atomic-scale spatial resolution can provide a fundamental understanding of light-matter interaction. A long-standing impediment has been the detrimental thermal effects on the stability of the tunneling gap from intensity-modulated laser irradiation of the scanning tunneling microscope junction. Photoinduced DC current transduces photons to an electric current and is widely applied in optoelectronics as switches and signal transmission. Our results revealed the origin of the light-induced DC current and related it to the two-level population dynamics and related nonlinearity in the conductance of a single molecule. Here, we compensated for the near-visible laser-induced thermal effects to demonstrate photoinduced DC current spectroscopy and microscopy and to observe the persistent photoconductivity of a two-level pyrrolidine molecule. The methodology can be generally applied to the coupling of light to scan probes to investigate light-matter interactions at the atomic scale.

Abstract
This research aims to explore the potential application of this approach in the production of biosensor chips. The biosensor chip is utilized for the identification and examination of early-stage lung cancer cells. The findings of the optical microscope were corroborated by the field emission scanning electron microscopy, which provided further evidence that the growth of MoS2 is uniform and that there is minimal disruption in the electrode, hence minimizing the likelihood of an open circuit creation. Furthermore, the bilayer structure of the produced MoS2 has been validated through the utilization of Raman spectroscopy. A research investigation was undertaken to measure the photoelectric current generated by three various types of clinical samples containing lung cancer cells, specifically the CL1, NCI-H460, and NCI-H520 cell lines. The findings from the empirical analysis indicate that the coefficient of determination (R-Square) for the linear regression model was approximately 98%. Furthermore, the integration of a double-layer MoS2 film resulted in a significant improvement of 38% in the photocurrent, as observed in the device's performance.

Abstract
Hetero-modulated neural activation is vital for adaptive information processing and learning that occurs in brain. To implement brain-inspired adaptive processing, previously various neurotransistors oriented for synaptic functions are extensively explored, however, the emulation of nonlinear neural activation and hetero-modulated behaviors are not possible due to the lack of threshold switching behavior in a conventional transistor structure. Here, a 2D van der Waals float gate transistor (FGT) that exhibits steep threshold switching behavior, and the emulation of hetero-modulated neuron functions (integrate-and-fire, sigmoid type activation) for adaptive sensory processing, are reported. Unlike conventional FGTs, the threshold switching behavior stems from impact ionization in channel and the coupled charge injection to float gate. When a threshold is met, a sub-30 mV dec-1 increase of transistor conductance by more than four orders is triggered with a typical switch time of approximately milliseconds. Essentially, by feeding light sensing signal as the modulation input, it is demonstrated that two typical tasks that rely on adaptive neural activation, including collision avoidance and adaptive visual perception, can be realized. These results may shed light on the emulation of rich hetero-modulating behaviors in biological neurons and the realization of biomimetic neuromorphic processing at low hardware cost.

Abstract
Nonadiabatic dynamics (NAMD) simulations have become powerful tools for elucidating complicated photoinduced processes in various systems from molecules to semiconductor materials. In this review, we present an overview of our recent research on photophysics of molecular systems and periodic semiconductor materials with the aid of ab initio NAMD simulation methods implemented in the generalized trajectory surface-hopping (GTSH) package. Both theoretical backgrounds and applications of the developed NAMD methods are presented in detail. For molecular systems, the linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (LR-TDDFT) method is primarily used to model electronic structures in NAMD simulations owing to its balanced efficiency and accuracy. Moreover, the efficient algorithms for calculating nonadiabatic coupling terms (NACTs) and spin-orbit couplings (SOCs) have been coded into the package to increase the simulation efficiency. In combination with various analysis techniques, we can explore the mechanistic details of the photoinduced dynamics of a range of molecular systems, including charge separation and energy transfer processes in organic donor-acceptor structures, ultrafast intersystem crossing (ISC) processes in transition metal complexes (TMCs), and exciton dynamics in molecular aggregates. For semiconductor materials, we developed the NAMD methods for simulating the photoinduced carrier dynamics within the framework of the Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT), in which SOC effects are explicitly accounted for using the two-component, noncollinear DFT method. Using this method, we have investigated the photoinduced carrier dynamics at the interface of a variety of van der Waals (vdW) heterojunctions, such as two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and perovskites-related systems. Recently, we extended the LR-TDDFT-based NAMD method for semiconductor materials, allowing us to study the excitonic effects in the photoinduced energy transfer process. These results demonstrate that the NAMD simulations are powerful tools for exploring the photodynamics of molecular systems and semiconductor materials. In future studies, the NAMD simulation methods can be employed to elucidate experimental phenomena and reveal microscopic details as well as rationally design novel photofunctional materials with desired properties.

Abstract
The unique electrical and optical properties of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) make them attractive nanomaterials for optoelectronic applications, especially optical sensors. However, the optical characteristics of these materials are dependent on the number of layers. Monolayer TMDs have a direct bandgap that provides higher photoresponsivity compared to multilayer TMDs with an indirect bandgap. Nevertheless, multilayer TMDs are more appropriate for various photodetection applications due to their high carrier density, broad spectral response from UV to near-infrared, and ease of large-scale synthesis. Therefore, this review focuses on the modification of the optical properties of devices based on indirect bandgap TMDs and their emerging applications. Several successful developments in optical devices are examined, including band structure engineering, device structure optimization, and heterostructures. Furthermore, it introduces cutting-edge techniques and future directions for optoelectronic devices based on multilayer TMDs.

Abstract
In this study, quasi-two-dimensional BixSn1-xO2 (BTO) thin films were fabricated using a liquid metal transfer method. The ultraviolet (UV) photodetector based on BTO thin films was constructed, and the ultrahigh responsivity of 589 A/W was observed at 300 nm UV light illumination. Interestingly, by dropping ethanol during light-off period, the recovery time induced by the persistent photoconductivity (PPC) effect is reduced from 1.65 × 103 s to 5.71 s. Furthermore, the recovery time can also be reduced by dropping methanol, propylene glycol, NaNO2, and Na2SO3 after light termination. The working mechanisms are attributed to the rapid consumption of holes stored in BTO thin films by reaction with those solutions. This work demonstrates that the BTO thin films have potential applications in high-performance UV detectors and present an innovation route to weaken the PPC effects in semiconductors by introducing chemical liquids on their surface.

Abstract
Methods that allow versatile manipulation of metastable centers in semiconductors are highly important owing to their potential for quantum information processing and computations. In this study, we demonstrate that the electron-phonon interaction enables phonon participation to promote relaxation of metastable centers in ZnO, which is known for its persistent photoconductivity (PPC) effect. Experimentally, we show that continuous infrared (IR) radiation (1064 nm, ∼30 mW/cm2) promotes longitudinal optical phonons via the Fröhlich interaction and increases the PPC relaxation rate by ∼4 folds. More importantly, we discover that coherent phonons activated by an ultrashort pulse IR laser of the same power increased the relaxation rate by ∼1200-fold, as confirmed by ultrafast transient spectroscopy to be correlated to the excitation of coherent acoustic phonons via the inverse piezoelectric effect. We expect this study to provide valuable guidance for the development of novel quantum and photoactive devices.

Abstract
Photoinduced interfacial charge transfer plays a critical role in energy conversion involving van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures constructed of inorganic nanostructures and organic materials. However, the effect of molecular stacking configurations on charge transfer dynamics is less understood. In this study, we demonstrated the tunability of interfacial charge separation in a type-II heterojunction between monolayer (ML) WS2 and an organic semiconducting molecule [2-(3″',4'-dimethyl-[2,2':5',2':5″,2″'-quaterthiophen]-5-yl)ethan-1-ammonium halide (4Tm)] by rational design of relative stacking configurations. The assembly between ML-WS2 and the 4Tm molecule forms a face-to-face stacking when 4Tm molecules are in a self-aggregation state. In contrast, a face-to-edge stacking is observed when 4Tm molecule is incorporated into a 2D organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite lattice. The face-to-face stacking was proved to be more favorable for hole transfer from WS2 to 4Tm and led to interlayer excitons (IEs) emission. Transient absorption measurements show that the hole transfer occurs on a time scale of 150 fs. On the other hand, the face-to-edge stacking resulted in much slower hole transfer without formation of IEs. This inefficient hole transfer occurs on a similar time scale as A exciton recombination in WS2, leading to the formation of negative trions. These investigations offer important fundamental insights into the charge transfer processes at organic-inorganic interfaces.

Abstract
Van der Waals (vdWs) heterostructures, assembled by stacking of two-dimensional (2D) crystal layers, have emerged as a promising new material system for high-performance optoelectronic applications, such as thin film transistors, photodetectors, and light-emitters. In this study, we showcase an innovative device that leverages strain-tuning capabilities, utilizing a MoS2/Sb2Te3 vdWs p-n heterojunction architecture designed explicitly for photodetection across the visible to near-infrared spectrum. These heterojunction devices provide ultra-low dark currents as small as 4.3 pA, a robust photoresponsivity of 0.12 A W-1, and reasonable response times characterized by rising and falling durations of 0.197 s and 0.138 s, respectively. These novel devices exhibit remarkable tunability under the application of compressive strain up to 0.3%. The introduction of strain at the heterojunction interface influences the bandgap of the materials, resulting in a significant alteration of the heterojunction's band structure. This subsequently shifts the detector's optical absorption properties. The proposed strategy of strain-induced engineering of the stacked 2D crystal materials allows the tuning of the electronic and optical properties of the device. Such a technique enables fine-tuning of the optoelectronic performance of vdWs devices, paving the way for tunable high-performance, low-power consumption applications. This development also holds significant potential for applications in wearable sensor technology and flexible electro-optic circuits.

Abstract
Over the past years, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been the most extensively studied two-dimensional (2D) semiconductormaterial. With unique electrical and optical properties, 2DMoS2 is considered to be a promising candidate for future nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic devices. However, charge trapping leads to a persistent photoconductance (PPC), hindering its use for optoelectronic applications. To overcome these drawbacks and improve the optoelectronic performance, organic semiconductors (OSCs) are selected to passivate surface defects, tune the optical characteristics, and modify the doping polarity of 2D MoS2. Here, we demonstrate a fast photoresponse in multilayer (ML) MoS2 by addressing a heterojunction interface with vanadylphthalocyanine (VOPc) molecules. The MoS2/VOPc van der Waals interaction that has been established encourages the PPC effect in MoS2 by rapidly segregating photo-generated holes, which move away from the traps of MoS2 toward the VOPc molecules. The MoS2/VOPc phototransistor exhibits a fast photo response of less than 15 ms for decay and rise, which is enhanced by 3ordersof magnitude in comparison to that of a pristine MoS2-based phototransistor (seconds to tens of seconds). This work offers a means to realize high-performance transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD)-based photodetection with a fast response speed.

Abstract
The 2D MoS2 with superior optoelectronic properties such as high charge mobility and broadband photoresponse has attracted broad research interests in photodetectors (PD). However, due to the atomic thin layer of 2D MoS2 , its pure photodetectors usually suffer from inevitable drawbacks such as large dark current, and intrinsically slow response time. Herein, a new organic material BTP-4F with high mobility is successfully stacked with 2D MoS2 film to form an integrated 2D MoS2 /organic P-N heterojunction, facilitating efficient charge transfer as well as significantly suppressed dark current. As a result, the as-obtained 2D MoS2 /organic (PD) has exhibited excellent response and fast response time of 332/274 µs. The analysis validated photogenerated electron transition from this monolayer MoS2 to subsequent BTP-4F film, whereas the transited electron is originated from the A- exciton of 2D MoS2 by temperature-dependent photoluminescent analysis. The ultrafast charge transfer time of ≈0.24 ps measured by time-resolved transient absorption spectrum is beneficial for efficient electron-hole pair separation, greatly contributing to the obtained fast photoresponse time of 332/274 µs. This work can open a promising window to acquire low-cost and high-speed (PD).

Abstract
As an outstanding representative of layered materials, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has excellent physical properties, such as high carrier mobility, stability, and abundance on earth. Moreover, its reasonable band gap and microelectronic compatible fabrication characteristics makes it the most promising candidate in future advanced integrated circuits such as logical electronics, flexible electronics, and focal-plane photodetector. However, to realize the all-aspects application of MoS2, the research on obtaining high-quality and large-area films need to be continuously explored to promote its industrialization. Although the MoS2 grain size has already improved from several micrometers to sub-millimeters, the high-quality growth of wafer-scale MoS2 is still of great challenge. Herein, this review mainly focuses on the evolution of MoS2 by including chemical vapor deposition, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, and thermal conversion technology methods. The state-of-the-art research on the growth and optimization mechanism, including nucleation, orientation, grain, and defect engineering, is systematically summarized. Then, this review summarizes the wafer-scale application of MoS2 in a transistor, inverter, electronics, and photodetectors. Finally, the current challenges and future perspectives are outlined for the wafer-scale growth and application of MoS2.

Abstract
In recent years, van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) of two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted extensive research interest. By stacking various 2D materials together to form vdWHs, it is interesting to see that new and fascinating properties are formed beyond single 2D materials; thus, 2D heterostructures-based nanodevices, especially for potential optoelectronic applications, were successfully constructed in the past few decades. With the dramatically increased demand for well-controlled heterostructures for nanodevices with desired performance in recent years, various interfacial modulation methods have been carried out to regulate the interfacial coupling of such heterostructures. Here, the research progress in the study of interfacial coupling of vdWHs (investigated by Photoluminescence, Raman, and Pump-probe spectroscopies as well as other techniques), the modulation of interfacial coupling by applying various external fields (including electrical, optical, mechanical fields), as well as the related applications for future electrics and optoelectronics, have been briefly reviewed. By summarizing the recent progress, discussing the recent advances, and looking forward to future trends and existing challenges, this review is aimed at providing an overall picture of the importance of interfacial modulation in vdWHs for possible strategies to optimize the device's performance.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are holding promises as channel materials for field-effect transistors. Compared to traditional three-dimensional (3D) semiconductors whose electronic and optical properties are hindered by dangling bonds and trap states at the surfaces, 2D materials with saturated chemical bonds on the surface maintain the excellent properties even when device thickness scales down to monolayer. However, dangling bonds are unavoidable at their edges, which are often overlooked and should have important effects on the devices. Here, we show that the edges of as-exfoliated and etched MoS2 are naturally p-type doped and can form p-n junctions with the bulk of the flake. The width of these edge regions is around 20 nm. While their existence could present challenges for the shrinkage of devices, they can be exploited to form rectifying or optoelectronic devices based on a single flake of MoS2 without the need of an elaborate extrinsic doping process.

Abstract
Synaptic transistors that accommodate concurrent signal transmission and learning in a neural network are attracting enormous interest for neuromorphic sensory processing. To remove redundant sensory information while keeping important features, artificial synaptic transistors with non-linear conductance are desired to apply filter processing to sensory inputs. Here, we report the realization of non-linear synapses using a two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure (MoS2/h-BN/graphene) based float gate memory device, in which the semiconductor channel is tailored via a surface acceptor (ZnPc) for subthreshold operation. In addition to usual synaptic plasticity, the memory device exhibits highly non-linear conductance (rectification ratio >106), allowing bidirectional yet only negative/inhibitory current to pass through. We demonstrate that in a lateral coupling network, such a float gate memory device resembles the key lateral inhibition function of horizontal cells for the formation of an ON-center/OFF-surround receptive field. When combined with synaptic plasticity, the lateral inhibition weights are further tunable to enable adjustable edge enhancement for early visual processing. Our results here hopefully open a new scheme toward early sensory perception via lateral inhibitory synaptic transistors.

Abstract
Charge redistribution plays a prominent role in interpreting the intrinsic electrocatalytic mechanism. Establishing a quantitative relationship between the local charges and electrochemical performance can fundamentally update the design philosophies beyond conventional methods. We describe exertion of an external electric field in the cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc)/MoS2 heterojunction to finely manipulate intermolecular charge transfer. The injected charges (e- ) from CoPc to MoS2 migrate to natural S vacancies and enhance Mo-H bonding. Moreover, the band gap of MoS2 and CoPc can be readily tuned by the electric field, verifying band engineering at the heterointerface. In situ photoluminescence spectra and gate-dependent electrochemical measurement reveal a linear correlation between the charge accumulation and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity. This approach provides a new strategy for the design of catalysts, enabling precise regulation of the electronic configuration to improve catalytic activity.

Abstract
Atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) present extraordinary optoelectronic, electrochemical, and mechanical properties that have not been accessible in bulk semiconducting materials. Recently, a new research field, 2D hybrid heteromaterials, has emerged upon integrating TMDs with molecular systems, including organic molecules, polymers, metal-organic frameworks, and carbonaceous materials, that can tailor the TMD properties and exploit synergetic effects. TMD-based hybrid heterostructures can meet the demands of future optoelectronics, including supporting flexible, transparent, and ultrathin devices, and energy-based applications, offering high energy and power densities with long cycle lives. To realize such applications, it is necessary to understand the interactions between the hybrid components and to develop strategies for exploiting the distinct benefits of each component. Here, we provide an overview of the current understanding of the new phenomena and mechanisms involved in TMD/organic hybrids and potential applications harnessing such valuable materials in an insightful way. We highlight recent discoveries relating to multicomponent hybrid materials. Finally, we conclude this review by discussing challenges related to hybrid heteromaterials and presenting future directions and opportunities in this research field.

Abstract
In this work, eight van der Waals heterojunctions based on CdSe or CdSe-ZnS quantum dots (QDs) and four commonly used two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D-TMDs) are theoretically designed. On the basis of the constructed structures, density functional theory (DFT) method is employed to investigate the structural and optoelectronic related properties of these heterojunctions in detail. Specifically, their electronic properties including charge density differences, density of states, and band offsets are calculated, based on which band alignment types as well as their potentials as novel photovoltaic materials are discussed. According to these calculations, we proposed that several van der Waals heterostructures including MoS2/CdSe, MoTe2/CdSe, WSe2/CdSe, MoTe2/CdSe-ZnS, and WSe2/CdSe-ZnS might be used as potential photovoltaic materials due to their type II band alignment characteristics. Moreover, the WSe2/CdSe-ZnS heterostructure is expected to have optimal photovoltaic performance attributed to their large bond offsets and band gaps, which could not only facilitate charge separation processes, but also slow down charge recombination. Our present theoretical work could be helpful for the future experimental design of novel CdSe QDs and 2D-TMD based van der Waals heterostructures with excellent photovoltaic performances.

Abstract
The circumstances of transferred electrons across organic/inorganic interfaces have attracted intensive interest because of the distinctive electronic structure properties of those two components. Leveraging ab initio nonadiabatic molecular dynamics methods in conjunction with spin dynamics induced by spin-orbital couplings (SOCs), this study reports two competitive channels during photoinduced dynamical processes in the prototypical ZnPc/monolayer MoS2 heterojunction. Interestingly, the electron-transfer and relaxation processes occur simultaneously because of the enhancement of electron-phonon couplings and expansion of dynamical pathways by SOCs, suggesting that the electron-transfer rate and relaxation processes can be tuned by SOCs, hence yielding the performance promotion of photovoltaic and photocatalytic devices. Additionally, approximately half of the transferred electrons flip their spin within 1.6 ps because of strong SOCs in MoS2, achieving great agreement with experimental measurements. This investigation provides instructive perspectives for designing novel devices and applications based on organic/inorganic heterojunctions, demonstrating the importance of spin dynamics simulations in exploring sophisticated photoinduced processes in materials.

Abstract
Heterostructures built from two-dimensional (2D) materials and organic semiconductors offer a unique platform for addressing many fundamental physics and construction of functional devices by taking advantage of both the 2D materials and organic semiconductors. We report interlayer exciton emission in the near infrared range around 1.54 eV (∼805 nm) from the heterostructure of pyramidal VOPc (p-type) and transition metal dichalcogenide monolayer MoS2 (VOPc/MoS2). This contrasts the observation of photoluminescence (PL) from the SnCl2Pc/MoS2 heterostructure despite both being type-II heterostructures. We attribute the exciton emission to the carrier transition from the generated interface mid-gap states of VOPc to the ground states of MoS2 in the heterostructure system as predicted from density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Furthermore, the observed PL signal of the VOPc/MoS2 heterostructure shows blue shift, while the PL peak of the SnCl2Pc/MoS2 heterostructure shows red shift. Our finding opens up a new avenue to tune the optoelectronic properties of the van der Waals heterojunctions consisting of 2D materials and organic semiconductors for optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
2D van der Waals (vdW) materials have been considered as potential building blocks for use in fundamental elements of electronic and optoelectronic devices, such as electrodes, channels, and dielectrics, because of their diverse and remarkable electrical properties. Furthermore, two or more building blocks of different electronic types can be stacked vertically to generate vdW heterostructures with desired electrical behaviors. However, such fundamental approaches cannot directly be applied practically because of issues such as precise alignment/positioning and large-quantity material production. Here, these limitations are overcome and wafer-scale vdW heterostructures are demonstrated by exploiting the lateral and vertical assembly of solution-processed 2D vdW materials. The high exfoliation yield of the molecular intercalation-assisted approach enables the production of micrometer-sized nanosheets in large quantities and its lateral assembly in a wafer-scale via vdW interactions. Subsequently, the laterally assembled vdW thin-films are vertically assembled to demonstrate various electronic device applications, such as transistors and photodetectors. Furthermore, multidimensional vdW heterostructures are demonstrated by integrating 1D carbon nanotubes as a p-type semiconductor to fabricate p-n diodes and complementary logic gates. Finally, electronic devices are fabricated via inkjet printing as a lithography-free manner based on the stable nanomaterial dispersions.

Abstract
Surface charge transfer doping has attracted much attention in modulating the optical and electrical behavior of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), where finding controllable and efficient dopants is crucial. Here, 1,1,2,2-tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivative molecules with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect were selected as adjustable dopants. By designing nitro and methoxyl functional groups and surface coating, controlled p/n-type doping can be achieved on a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown monolayer, MoS2. We investigated the electron transfer behavior between these two dopants and MoS2 with fluorescence, Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectra and transient absorption spectra. 1,1,2,2-Tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl)ethane (TPE-4NO2) with a negative charge aggregation can be a donor to transfer electrons to MoS2, while 1,1,2,2-Tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)ethane (TPE-4OCH3) is the opposite and electron-accepting. Density functional theory calculations further explain and confirm these experimental results. This work shows a new way to select suitable dopants for TMDCs, which is beneficial for a wide range of applications in optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Low-dimensional all-inorganic perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have been increasingly developed as photo-sensing materials in the field of photodetectors because of their strong light-absorption capability and broad bandgap tunability. Here, solution-processed hybrid phototransistors built by a dithienothiophenoquinoid (DTTQ) n-type organic semiconductor transport channel mixing with a colloidal CsPbBr3 perovskite QD photosensitizer are demonstrated by manipulating the relative volume ratio from 10 : 0 to 9 : 1, 7 : 3, 5 : 5, 3 : 7, 1 : 9, and 0 : 10. This results in a significantly enhanced photodetection performance owing to the advantages of a high UV absorption cross-section based on the perovskite QDs, efficient carrier transport abilities from the DTTQ semiconductor, and the photogating effect between the bulk heterojunction photocarrier transfer interfaces. The optimized DTTQ : QD (3 : 7) hybrid phototransistor achieves a high photoresponsivity (R) of 7.1 × 105 A W-1, a photosensitivity (S) of 1.8 × 104, and a photodetectivity (D) of 3.6 × 1013 Jones at 365 nm. Such a solution-based fabrication process using a hybrid approach directly integrated into a sensitized phototransistor potentially holds promising photoelectric applications towards advanced light-stimulated photodetection.

Abstract
Two-dimensional materials (2DMs) have attracted tremendous research interest over the last two decades. Their unique optical, electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties make 2DMs key building blocks for the fabrication of novel complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) and beyond-CMOS devices. Major advances in device functionality and performance have been made by the covalent or noncovalent functionalization of 2DMs with molecules: while the molecular coating of metal electrodes and dielectrics allows for more efficient charge injection and transport through the 2DMs, the combination of dynamic molecular systems, capable to respond to external stimuli, with 2DMs makes it possible to generate hybrid systems possessing new properties by realizing stimuli-responsive functional devices and thereby enabling functional diversification in More-than-Moore technologies. In this review, we first introduce emerging 2DMs, various classes of (macro)molecules, and molecular switches and discuss their relevant properties. We then turn to 2DM/molecule hybrid systems and the various physical and chemical strategies used to synthesize them. Next, we discuss the use of molecules and assemblies thereof to boost the performance of 2D transistors for CMOS applications and to impart diverse functionalities in beyond-CMOS devices. Finally, we present the challenges, opportunities, and long-term perspectives in this technologically promising field.

Abstract
Lattice defects play an important role in determining the optical and electrical properties of monolayer semiconductors such as MoS2. Although the structures of various defects in monolayer MoS2 are well studied, little is known about the nature of the fluorescent defect species and their interaction with molecular adsorbates. In this study, the quenching of the low-temperature defect photoluminescence (PL) in MoS2 is investigated following the deposition of metallophthalocyanines (MPcs). The quenching is found to significantly depend on the identity of the phthalocyanine metal, with the quenching efficiency decreasing in the order CoPc > CuPc > ZnPc, and almost no quenching by metal-free H2Pc is observed. Time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) measurements corroborate the observed trend, indicating a decrease in the defect PL lifetime upon MPc adsorption, and the gate voltage-dependent PL reveals the suppression of the defect emission even at large Fermi level shifts. Density functional theory modeling argues that the MPc complexes stabilize dark negatively charged defects over luminescent neutral defects through an electrostatic local gating effect. These results demonstrate the control of defect-based excited-state decay pathways via molecular electronic structure tuning, which has broad implications for the design of mixed-dimensional optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials may play an important role in future photodetectors due to their natural atom-thin body thickness, unique quantum confinement, and excellent electronic and photoelectric properties. Semimetallic graphene, semiconductor black phosphorus, and transition metal dichalcogenides possess flexible and adjustable bandgaps, which correspond to a wide interaction spectrum ranging from ultraviolet to terahertz. Nevertheless, their absorbance is relatively low, and it is difficult for a single material to cover a wide spectrum. Therefore, the combination of phototransistors based on 2D hybrid structures with other material platforms, such as quantum dots, organic materials, or plasma nanostructures, exhibit ultra-sensitive and broadband optical detection capabilities that cannot be ascribed to the individual constituents of the assembly. This article provides a comprehensive and systematic review of the recent research progress of 2D material photodetectors. First, the fundamental detection mechanism and key metrics of the 2D material photodetectors are introduced. Then, the latest developments in 2D material photodetectors are reviewed based on the strategies of photocurrent enhancement. Finally, a design and implementation principle for high-performance 2D material photodetectors is provided, together with the current challenges and future outlooks.

Abstract
A comprehensive understanding of the energy level alignment mechanisms between two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors and electrodes is currently lacking, but it is a prerequisite for tailoring the interface electronic properties to the requirements of device applications. Here, we use angle-resolved direct and inverse photoelectron spectroscopy to unravel the key factors that determine the level alignment at interfaces between a monolayer of the prototypical 2D semiconductor MoS2 and conductor, semiconductor, and insulator substrates. For substrate work function (Φsub) values below 4.5 eV we find that Fermi level pinning occurs, involving electron transfer to native MoS2 gap states below the conduction band. For Φsub above 4.5 eV, vacuum level alignment prevails but the charge injection barriers do not strictly follow the changes of Φsub as expected from the Schottky-Mott rule. Notably, even the trends of the injection barriers for holes and electrons are different. This is caused by the band gap renormalization of monolayer MoS2 by dielectric screening, which depends on the dielectric constant (εr) of the substrate. Based on these observations, we introduce an expanded Schottky-Mott rule that accounts for band gap renormalization by εr -dependent screening and show that it can accurately predict charge injection barriers for monolayer MoS2. It is proposed that the formalism of the expanded Schottky-Mott rule should be universally applicable for 2D semiconductors, provided that material-specific experimental benchmark data are available.

Abstract
Carrier mobility and density are intrinsically important in nanophoto/electronic devices. High-dielectric-constant coupled polarization-field gate ferroelectrics are frequently studied and partially capable in achieving large-scale tuning of photoresponse, but their light absorption and carrier density seem generally ineffective. This raises questions about whether a similarly high-dielectric-constant paraelectric gate dielectric could enable tuning and how the principles involved could be established. In this study, by deliberately introducing lattice defects in high-dielectric-constant paraelectric, cubic BaTiO3 (c-BTO) was explored to fabricate MoS2 photodetectors with ultrahigh detection ability and outstanding field-effect traits. An organic-metal-based spin-coating cum annealing method was used for the c-BTO synthesis, with an optimized thickness (300 nm), by introducing lattice defects properly but maintaining a large dielectric constant (55 at 1k Hz) and low dielectric loss (0.06 at 1k Hz), which renders the enhanced visible-light region absorption. As a result of the synergistically enhanced mobility and photoabsorption, the MoS2/BTO FET exhibits promising merits, for example, on/off ratio, subthreshold swing, and mobilities for high-performance photodetectors with excellent responsivity (600 AW-1) and detectivity (1.25 × 1012 Jones). Thus, this work facilitates the establishment of a lattice defect induced sub-bandgap absorption landmap for synergistically enhanced photoresponse for high-performance photodetector exploration.

Abstract
We have developed MoS2 nanosheets and CdMoS4 hierarchical nanostructures based on a UV light photodetector. The surface morphologies of the as-prepared samples were investigated via field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The performance parameters for the present photodetectors are investigated under the illumination of UV light having a wavelength of ∼385 nm. Upon the illumination of UV light, the CdMoS4-based photodetector device showed a better response to UV light compared to the MoS2 device in terms of photoresponsivity, response time (∼72 s) and recovery time (∼94 s). Our results reveal that CdMoS4 hierarchical nanostructures are practical for enhancing the device performance.

Abstract
The endogenous epigenetic marker 5-formylcytosine (5 fC) is introduced by 5-methylcytosine (5 mC) oxidation under action of enzyme oxidation, and plays an important role in many life activities. Since the content of 5 fC in mammalian tissues and cells is very low, it is necessary to exploit a sensitive and specific detection method to further understand the function of 5 fC. In this work, a sensitively and selectively photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was developed for 5-formyl-2'-deoxycytidine (5fdC) detection. CuBi2O4/ZnPc@WS2 was used as photoactive material, where the formed ternary heterojunction structure greatly enhanced the PEC response and increased the detection sensitivity. Positively charged polyethyleneimine (PEI) was employed as 5fdC recognition and capture unit, where the amine group on PEI specifically reacted with aldehyde group of 5fdC to form stable amide bond. 4-Carboxyphenylboronic acid (4-CPBA) was adopted as crosslinker for 5fdC and amino functionalized CuBi2O4 based on the covalent interaction between 1,3-diol bond on 5fdC and boric acid structure on 4-CPBA, and the covalent interaction between -COOH on 4-CPBA and -NH2 on amino functionalized CuBi2O4. On the basis of the positive synergistic effect of ZnPc and CuBi2O4 on improving the photoelectric performance of WS2, the separation of photo-generated electron-hole pairs in semiconductors were promoted, and the examination range was expanded from 0.1 to 500 nM, and the detection limit was 0.0483 nM (3σ). Based on the unique covalent reaction between -NH2 and -CHO, the PEC biosensor has excellent detection sensitivity, and can even separate 5fdC from 5-methylcytosine deoxyribonucleoside and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine deoxyribonucleoside. The effect of antibiotics and heavy metals on the 5fdC content in wheat tissue genome has also been further investigated using this sensor.

Abstract
van der Waals heterojunctions formed by transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and fullerenes are promising candidates for novel photovoltaic devices due to the excellent optoelectronic properties of both TMDs and fullerenes. However, relevant experimental and theoretical investigations remain scarce to the best of our knowledge. Herein, we have first employed static density functional theory (DFT) calculations in combination with time-domain density functional theory (TDDFT) based nonadiabatic dynamics simulations to rationally evaluate the photovoltaic performances of four TMD@fullerene heterostructures, i.e. WSe2@C60, WSe2@C70, MoTe2@C60 and MoTe2@C70, respectively. Our simulation results indicate that the C70-based heterostructures overall have better photoinduced electron transfer efficiencies than their C60-based counterparts, among which the performance of the WSe2@C70 heterostructure is the best and the electron transfer from WSe2 to C70 almost accomplishes within 1 ps. In addition, the large build-in potential of about 0.75 eV of WSe2@C70 is beneficial for the charge separation processes. Our present work not only selects the van der Waals TMD@fullerene heterojunctions that might have excellent photovoltaic properties, but also paves the way for the rational design of novel heterojunctions with better optoelectronic performances with DFT and TDDFT simulations in the future.

Abstract
We compute the electronic structure and optical excitation energies of metal-free and transition-metal phthalocyanines (H2Pc and MPc for M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mg) using density functional theory with optimally tuned range-separated hybrid functionals (OT-RSH). We show that the OT-RSH approach provides photoemission spectra in quantitative agreement with experiments as well as optical band gaps within 10% of their experimental values, capturing the interplay of localized d-states and delocalized π-π* states for these organometallic compounds. We examine the tunability of MPcs and H2Pc through fluorination, resulting in quasi-rigid shifts of the molecular orbital energies by up to 0.7 eV. Our comprehensive data set provides a new computational benchmark for gas-phase phthalocyanines, significantly improving upon other density-functional-theory-based approaches.

Abstract
Phthalocyanines have enjoyed throughout the years the benefits of being exquisite compounds with many favorable properties arising from the straightforward and diverse possibilities of their structural modulation. Last decades appreciated a steady growth in applications for phthalocyanines, particularly those dependent on their great photophysical properties, now used in several cutting-edge technologies, particularly in photonic applications. Judging by the vivid reports currently provided by many researchers around the world, the spotlight remains assured. This review deals with the use of phthalocyanine molecules in innovative materials in photo-applications. Beyond a comprehensive view on the recent discoveries, a critical review of the most acclaimed/considered reports is the driving force, providing a brief and direct insight on the latest milestones in phthalocyanine photonic-based science.

Abstract
The high electrical conductivity of 1T'-WTe2 deserves particular attention and may show a high potential for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysis. However, the actual activity certainly does not match expectations, and the inferior HER activity is actually still ambiguous at the atomic level. Unraveling the underlying HER behaviors of 1T'-WTe2 will give rise to a new family of HER catalysts. Our structural analysis reveals that the inferior activity could result from insufficient charge density around the Te site and blocked adsorption channel at the W site, which cause too weak hydrogen adsorption. Herein, we fabricated a single WTe2 sheet-based electrocatalytic microdevice for directly extracting enhanced HER activity of doped electronegative F atoms. The overpotential at -10 mA cm-2 reduced to 0.27 V after F doping compared to 0.45 V for the original state. In situ electrochemical measurement and electrical tests on a single sheet indicate that doped F can regulate surface charge and hydrogen adsorption behavior. Furthermore, the theory simulation uncovers that the smaller atomic radius of F contributes to an empty coordination environment; meanwhile, strong electronegativity induces hydrogen adsorption. Thus, the ΔGH* at W sites around the doped F is as low as 0.18 eV. Synergistically modulating the charge properties and opening steric hindrance provides a new pathway to rationally construct electrocatalysts and beyond.

Abstract
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) presents fascinating properties for next-generation applications in diverse fields. However, fully exploiting the best properties of MoS2 in largescale practical applications still remains a challenge due to lack of proper processing methods. Solution-based processing can be a promising route for scalable production of MoS2 nanosheets, but the resulting assembled film possesses an enormous number of interfaces that significantly compromise the intrinsic electrical properties. Herein, we demonstrate the solution processing of MoS2 and subsequent precursor-assisted chemical welding to form defective MoS2-x at the nanosheet interfaces. The formation of defective MoS2-x significantly reduces the electrical contact resistances, and thus the chemically welded MoS2 film exhibits more than 2 orders of magnitude improved electrical conductivity. Furthermore, the chemical welding provides MoS2-x interface induced additional defect originated functionalities for diverse applications such as broadband photodetection over the near-infrared range and improved electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reactions. Overall, this precursor-assisted chemical welding strategy can be a facile route to produce high-quality MoS2 films with low-quality defective MoS2-x at the interfaces having multifunctionalities in electronics, optoelectronics, and electrocatalysis.
