Article Abstract
Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have emerged as highly promising candidates for optoelectronic applications due to their direct band gap and strong light-matter interactions. However, exfoliated TMDs have demonstrated optical characteristics that fall short of expectations, primarily because of significant defects and associated doping in the synthesized TMD crystals. Here, we report the improvement of optical properties in monolayer TMDs of MoS, MoSe, WS, and WSe, by hBN-encapsulation annealing. Monolayer WSe showed 2000% enhanced photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and 1000% increased lifetime after encapsulation annealing at 1000 °C, which are attributed to dominant radiative recombination of excitons through dedoping of monolayer TMDs. Furthermore, after encapsulation annealing, the transport characteristics of monolayer WS changed from n-type to ambipolar, along with an enhanced hole transport, which also support dedoping of annealed TMDs. This work provides an innovative approach to elevate the optical grade of monolayer TMDs, enabling the fabrication of high-performance optoelectronic devices.

With growing public attention to environmental issues and sustainable development, biodegradable bio-based plastics have attracted widespread interest. This study reveals the chemical-physical synergistic regulation mechanism of biodegradable PLA/PBAT blends through the synergistic modification of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) and epoxy chain extender (ADR). Interfacial interaction analysis shows that PBAT tends to encapsulate ENR to form aggregates.

The relentless scaling of semiconductor technology demands materials beyond silicon to sustain performance improvements. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), particularly MoS, offer excellent electronic properties; however, achieving scalable and CMOS-compatible fabrication remains a critical challenge. Here, we demonstrate a scalable and BEOL-compatible approach for the direct wafer-scale growth of MoS devices using plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PE-ALD) at temperatures below 450 °C, fully compliant with CMOS thermal budgets.

Phosphorus-based anodes show new perspectives in high-performance lithium-ion batteries, but harsh synthesis and severe capacity attenuation seriously preclude their practical application. Here, Cu nanowire@carbon (C) nanocore-shells are designed to utilize as sacrificial templates for polyaniline loading, and with the assistance of phytic acid (PA), a novel CuP/Cu@C microsphere composite structure is successfully constructed via direct thermal annealing, in which heteroatom-doped graphitic carbon nanotubes are wounded with each other and firmly entangled on spheres. The polyaniline polymerization by (NH)SO and the addition of PA are indispensable for the unique CuP sphere formation.

Mixed halide perovskite CsPbBrI nanocrystal (NC) films exhibit viable application prospects in pure red perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). However, intrinsic environmental instability, defects, and spectral instabilities are always present in pure red perovskites under mixing halide ion exchange processing. In this work, we developed a swelling method for the preparation of stable pure red light emission Zn: CsPbBrI-PVDF films by post-treatment with CsBr-ZnI at room temperature.
