Summary: The researchers used scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy to study the evolution of electronic structures at the interface of a phase-engineered monolayer NbSe2 heterostructure. They observed the penetration of the metallic state H-NbSe2 into the Mott insulating state T-NbSe2, with a prominent CDW proximity effect, and detected an insulating Mott gap collapse at the electronic phase transition region. Theoretical calculations suggested that this collapse could be attributed to electron doping induced by the interface, providing insights into controlling Mott insulating states through phase engineering.

Summary: In order to bring atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) to practical application, a highly reproducible process for large-scale growth is developed. This process involves using molybdenum dichloride dioxide (MoO2Cl2) as the Mo source and integrating it with a standard low-pressure cold-wall MOCVD system. With H2S as the sulfur source and Dragontrail glass (DT-glass) as the substrate, the researchers achieved the growth of carbon-free MoS2 monolayers with high quality and uniformity. This work provides a new method for the large-scale production of high-quality MoS2 monolayers.

Summary: The chemical simplicity and appealing physiochemical properties of elemental two-dimensional (2D) materials, also known as Xenes, have sparked increasing interest for (opto) electronic, iontronic, and energy applications. Among them, layered α-phase tellurene has shown great promise due to recent advances in its chemical synthesis. However, the electronic and electrochemical properties of tellurene in electrolyte systems remain unclear, hampering its further development. In this study, we investigated the electrostatic gating, electrocatalysis, and electrochemical stability of tellurene in electrolyte systems. Our results demonstrate that tellurene obtained from hydrothermal and chemical vapor deposition methods exhibits thickness-dependent ambipolar transport with high hole mobility and stability in aqueous electrolytes and ionic liquids. Moreover, tellurene shows promising electrochemical properties, such as low Tafel slopes and remarkable stability in acidic electrolytes, as studied using on-chip electrochemistry. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the iontronic and electrochemical properties of tellurene, paving the way for its widespread application in sensors, synaptic devices, and electrocatalysis.
