Article Abstract
Efficient interfacial light-electric interconversion in van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures is crucial for their optoelectronic applications. However, an in-depth understanding of the necessary process for device operation, namely interfacial charge transfer (CT), has thus far remained elusive. In this study, by using photon energy-dependent transient THz spectroscopy, we complementarily investigate the interfacial CT process in heterostructures comprising monolayers of WSe and graphene with varying stacking orders on a sapphire substrate. We observe that the CT mechanism of the sub-A-exciton excitation is different from that of the above-A-exciton excitation. Notably, the CT process occurs a photo-thermionic emission for sub-A-exciton excitations and a direct electron (or hole) transfer for above-A-exciton excitations. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the effective electric field induced by the sapphire substrate could adjust the Schottky barrier from a p-type contact (WSe/Gr/sapphire) to an n-type contact (Gr/WSe/sapphire). Consequently, it is more beneficial for the photo-thermionic electrons to transfer from graphene to WSe over the Schottky barrier in Gr/WSe/sapphire. These results can provide new insights into the CT process in graphene-transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) vdW interfaces, which are critical to potential optoelectronic applications of graphene-TMDC heterostructures.

Ether-based electrolytes are widely acknowledged for their potential to form stable solid electrolyte interfaces (SEIs) for stable anode performance. However, conventional ether-based electrolytes have shown a tendency for cation-solvent co-intercalation phenomena on graphite electrodes, resulting in lower capacity and higher voltage platforms compared to those of neat cation insertion in ester-based electrolytes. In response, we propose the development of weakly solvating ether solvents to weaken the interaction between cations and solvents, thereby suppressing co-intercalation behavior.

This study presents a straightforward and rapid method for preparing graphene aerogel by integrating a sodium alginate (SA)-metal ion crosslinking system, a bubble template, and an osmotic dehydration process. Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were dispersed into the solution crosslinked by SA and metal ions, leading to rapid gelation of GO under ambient conditions. To minimize structural damage to the porous network caused by water molecules during the drying process, an osmotic dehydration technique was employed as an auxiliary drying method.

Ultra-sensitivity water pollution detection is the key to ensuring clean and safe management of water resources. However, most existing high-sensitivity water pollution detection systems rely on expensive and bulky laboratory equipment, which makes the systems non-portable. Meanwhile, most reported portable detection systems cannot meet the requirements for sensitivity and robustness in complex environments.
