Article Abstract
The intrinsic p-type behavior of graphene field-effect transistors (FETs) under ambient conditions poses a fundamental challenge for the assembly of complex electronic devices, such as integrated circuits. In this work, we present a protocol for tunable n-type doping of graphene FETs via poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) coating. Using graphene grown by alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition, functionalization of the surface by this hydroxyl anion-rich polymer results in an evolution of the FETs from p-type to ambipolar or n-type even under ambient air conditions. The doping level of graphene is strongly related to the PVA film coating parameters, such as solution concentration, hardening temperature, and hardening time. This PVA coating proves to be a simple and stable approach to tuning the Dirac point and doping level of graphene, which is highly desirable and of great significance for the future of graphene-based electronic devices.

Among various pollutants, nitrogen oxides (NO) stand out as particularly harmful irritant gases, known to cause airway inflammation at elevated concentrations. Chemiresistive gas sensing (CGS) has revolutionized gas detection with its low power consumption, cost-effectiveness, high sensitivity, fast response, and long-term stability. Traditional materials such as metal oxides, conducting polymers, and carbon-based materials used for NO detection often suffer from poor selectivity and require high operating temperatures, leading to high noise levels.

Interfacial charge transfer leads to the formation of an electric dipole at the interface of a van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure. The switching of dipole polarity using an electric field provides an effective method for modulating the electronic properties of vdW systems. However, the experimental observation of switched vdW dipoles is challenging, as it is concealed by the electrostatic gating effect.

Ultrathin PtSe, a member of the group-10 transition metal dichalcogenides, has emerged as a promising two-dimensional material due to its layer-dependent, tunable bandgap. Notably, a unique semiconductor-to-metal transition is predicted as the layer number of this material increases; however, pinpointing the exact critical thickness for this transition and reliably quantifying the energy gaps of the semiconducting layers remain formidable challenges. In this work, all-van der Waals assembled multiprobe schemes and planar tunnel junctions are employed to systematically investigate the thickness-sensitive charge transport properties and energy gaps of ultrathin PtSe films.

Two-dimensional metal-semiconductor (MS) heterostructures have attracted significant attention due to their tunable interfacial properties, which are critical for enhancing the performance of electronic and optoelectronic devices. In this work, first-principles calculations are employed to investigate the structural, electronic, mechanical, and interfacial contact properties of the MS heterostructure formed between two-dimensional (2D) metallic Goldene and 2D semiconducting AsC, as well as the tunability of contact characteristics under applied electric gating and vertical strain. Our results reveal that the MS Goldene/AsC heterostructure is energetically favorable and exhibits thermal, dynamic, and mechanical stability.
