Abstract
The laminated transition metal disulfides (TMDs), which are well known as typical two-dimensional (2D) semiconductive materials, possess a unique layered structure, leading to their wide-spread applications in various fields, such as catalysis, energy storage, sensing, etc. In recent years, a lot of research work on TMDs based functional materials in the fields of electromagnetic wave absorption (EMA) has been carried out. Therefore, it is of great significance to elaborate the influence of TMDs on EMA in time to speed up the application. In this review, recent advances in the development of electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbers based on TMDs, ranging from the VIB group to the VB group are summarized. Their compositions, microstructures, electronic properties, and synthesis methods are presented in detail. Particularly, the modulation of structure engineering from the aspects of heterostructures, defects, morphologies and phases are systematically summarized, focusing on optimizing impedance matching and increasing dielectric and magnetic losses in the EMA materials with tunable EMW absorption performance. Milestones as well as the challenges are also identified to guide the design of new TMDs based dielectric EMA materials with high performance.

CONDENSED MATTER : AN INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS JOURNAL 2022; 35:045501. [PMID: 36541526 DOI: 10.1088/1361-648x/aca738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
This paper investigated the performance changes brought about by the adsorption of metal and non-metal atoms on monolayer NbS2. First-principles found that the adsorption of non-metallic atoms on the monolayer NbS2significantly changed the surface structure, with non-metallic atoms other than F intercalated into the upper S atoms. Among them, the F atom adsorption modification system changed the metallic properties of NbS2and tended to transform into a semiconductor. Fe and Co atoms effectively change the real part of the dielectric constant, transforming NbS2into a metamaterial. The adsorption of noble metal atoms can improve the activity of the material. Furthermore, F(Fe, Co) atoms can induce p(n)-type doping by adjusting strain. N adsorption expands the system's electromagnetic wave absorption range and improves the material's electrical conductivity. O and Pt adsorption significantly enhanced the polarizability and photoresponse of the material, resulting in enhanced photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
2D metal-semiconductor heterostructures based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are considered as intriguing building blocks for various fields, such as contact engineering and high-frequency devices. Although, a series of p-n junctions utilizing semiconducting TMDs have been constructed hitherto, the realization of such a scheme using 2D metallic analogs has not been reported. Here, the synthesis of uniform monolayer metallic NbS2 on sapphire substrate with domain size reaching to a millimeter scale via a facile chemical vapor deposition (CVD) route is demonstrated. More importantly, the epitaxial growth of NbS2 -WS2 lateral metal-semiconductor heterostructures via a "two-step" CVD method is realized. Both the lateral and vertical NbS2 -WS2 heterostructures are achieved here. Transmission electron microscopy studies reveal a clear chemical modulation with distinct interfaces. Raman and photoluminescence maps confirm the precisely controlled spatial modulation of the as-grown NbS2 -WS2 heterostructures. The existence of the NbS2 -WS2 heterostructures is further manifested by electrical transport measurements. This work broadens the horizon of the in situ synthesis of TMD-based heterostructures and enlightens the possibility of applications based on 2D metal-semiconductor heterostructures.

Abstract
We report here the field emission studies of a layered WS2-RGO composite at the base pressure of ~1 × 10(-8) mbar. The turn on field required to draw a field emission current density of 1 μA/cm(2) is found to be 3.5, 2.3 and 2 V/μm for WS2, RGO and the WS2-RGO composite respectively. The enhanced field emission behavior observed for the WS2-RGO nanocomposite is attributed to a high field enhancement factor of 2978, which is associated with the surface protrusions of the single-to-few layer thick sheets of the nanocomposite. The highest current density of ~800 μA/cm(2) is drawn at an applied field of 4.1 V/μm from a few layers of the WS2-RGO nanocomposite. Furthermore, first-principles density functional calculations suggest that the enhanced field emission may also be due to an overalp of the electronic structures of WS2 and RGO, where graphene-like states are dumped in the region of the WS2 fundamental gap.

Abstract
We report here the synthesis of layer structured WS2/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) hybrids by a facile hydrothermal method for its possible application as supercapacitor materials in energy storage devices. The prepared two-dimensional materials are characterized thoroughly by various analytical techniques to ascertain their structure and to confirm the absence of any impurities. Two-electrode capacitance measurements have been carried out in aqueous 1 M Na2SO4. The WS2/RGO hybrids exhibited enhanced supercapacitor performance with specific capacitance of 350 F/g at a scan rate of 2 mV/s. The obtained capacitance values of WS2/RGO hybrids are about 5 and 2.5 times higher than bare WS2 and RGO sheets. Because of the unique microstructure with combination of two layered materials, WS2/RGO hybrids emerge as a promising supercapacitor electrode material with high specific capacitance, energy density, and excellent cycling stability.

Abstract
We report ambient pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of single-crystalline NbS2 nanosheets with controlled orientation. On Si and SiO2 substrates, NbS2 nanosheets grow almost perpendicular to the substrate surface. However, when we apply transferred CVD graphene on SiO2 as a substrate, NbS2 sheets grow laterally lying on the graphene. The NbS2 sheets show the triangular and hexagonal shapes with a thickness of about 20-200 nm and several micrometres in the lateral dimension. Analyses based on X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy indicate that the NbS2 nanosheets are single crystalline 3R-type with a rhombohedral structure of R3m space group. Our findings on the formation of highly aligned NbS2 nanosheets on graphene give new insight into the formation mechanism of NbS2 and would contribute to the templated growth of various layered materials.
