However, integrating the material into large-scale two-dimensional heterostructures remains challenging due to the difficulties in synthesizing high-quality large-area multilayer hBN and combining it with other two-dimensional material layers of the same scale. Here we show that centimetre-scale multilayer hBN can be synthesized on iron–nickel alloy foil by chemical vapour deposition, and then used as a substrate and as a surface-protecting layer in graphene field-effect transistors. We also develop an integrated electrochemical transfer and thermal treatment method that allows us to create high-performance graphene/hBN heterostacks. Arrays of graphene field-effect transistors fabricated by conventional and scalable methods show an enhancement in room-temperature carrier mobility when hBN is used as an insulating substrate, and a further increase—up to a value of 10,000 cm2 V−1 s−1—when graphene is encapsulated with another hBN sheet.. |

However, the presence of grain boundaries (GBs) in h-BN is a hindrance to obtain these properties. Here, we demonstrate the epitaxial growth of monolayer h-BN by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on Ni(111) thin films deposited on c-plane sapphire. The Ni(111) films showed higher thermal stability than Cu(111) and Cu-Ni(111) alloy films, allowing us to perform CVD growth at a high temperature of 1100 °C. This resulted in an increase of the h-BN grain sizes to up to 0.5 millimeter, among the highest reported so far, and in a well-defined triangular grain shape. Low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) revealed the epitaxial relationship between h-BN and the underlying Ni(111) lattice, leading to a preferential alignment of the h-BN grains. Both the large grain size and the alignment are expected to facilitate the synthesis of h-BN with a low density of GBs. We also found that the addition of N2 gas during the CVD improves the crystalline shape of the h-BN grains, changing from an irregular, truncated to a sharp triangle. The growth behavior of monolayer h-BN is further discussed in terms of the dependences on growth temperature and pressure, as well as on the structural evolution of the Ni metal catalyst. Our findings not only help understand the h-BN growth mechanism but also offer a new route to grow high-quality, monolayer h-BN films.. |

With the analogy to conventional silicon electronics, establishing a method to convert TMDC to p- and n-type semiconductors is essential for various device applications, such as complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits and photovoltaics. Here, a successful control of the electrical polarity of monolayer WSe2 is demonstrated by chemical doping. Two different molecules, 4-nitrobenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate and diethylenetriamine, are utilized to convert ambipolar WSe2 field-effect transistors (FETs) to p- and n-type, respectively. Moreover, the chemically doped WSe2 show increased effective carrier mobilities of 82 and 25 cm2 V−1s−1 for holes and electrons, respectively, which are much higher than those of the pristine WSe2. The doping effects are studied by photoluminescence, Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and density functional theory. Chemically tuned WSe2 FETs are integrated into CMOS inverters, exhibiting extremely low power consumption (≈0.17 nW). Furthermore, a p-n junction within single WSe2 grain is realized via spatially controlled chemical doping. The chemical doping method for controlling the transport properties of WSe2 will contribute to the development of TMDC-based advanced electronics.. |

Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), such as tungsten disulfide (WS2), are also intriguing because of their unique optoelectronic properties and their atomically thin and flexible structures. Therefore, the combination of these different types of materials is very attractive in terms of fundamental science of interface interaction, as well as for the realization of ultrathin optoelectronic devices with high performance. Here, we demonstrate the controlled synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) perovskite/WS2 heterostructures by an all vapor-phase growth approach. This involves the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of monolayer WS2, followed by the vapor-phase selective deposition of 2D PbI2 onto the WS2 with the successive conversion of PbI2 to organic-inorganic perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3). Moreover, the selective growth of the perovskite on prepatterned WS2 enables the direct synthesis of patterned heterostructures, avoiding any damage to the perovskite. The photodetectors utilizing the perovskite/WS2 heterostructure show increased responsivities compared with isolated thin perovskite obtained by conventional solution methods. The integration of 2D perovskite with TMDCs opens a new avenue to fabricate advanced devices by combining their unique properties and overcoming current processing difficulties of perovskites.. |
| 37. | Yuki Uchida, Sho Nakandakari, Kenji Kawahara, Shigeto Yamasaki, Masatoshi Mitsuhara, Hiroki Ago, Controlled Growth of Large-Area Uniform Multilayer Hexagonal Boron Nitride as an Effective 2D Substrate, ACS nano, 10.1021/acsnano.8b03055, 12, 6, 6236-6244, 2018.06, [URL], Multilayer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is an ideal insulator for two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, because h-BN screens out influences from surroundings, allowing one to observe intrinsic physical properties of the 2D materials. However, the synthesis of large and uniform multilayer h-BN is still very challenging because it is difficult to control the segregation process of B and N atoms from metal catalysts during chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth. Here, we demonstrate CVD growth of multilayer h-BN with high uniformity by using the Ni-Fe alloy film and borazine (B3H6N3) as catalyst and precursor, respectively. Combining Ni and Fe metals tunes the solubilities of B and N atoms and, at the same time, allows one to engineer the metal crystallinity, which stimulates the uniform segregation of multilayer h-BN. Furthermore, we demonstrate that triangular WS2 grains grown on the h-BN show photoluminescence stronger than that grown on a bare SiO2 substrate. The PL line width of WS2/h-BN (the minimum and mean widths are 24 and 43 meV, respectively) is much narrower than those of WS2/SiO2 (44 and 67 meV), indicating the effectiveness of our CVD-grown multilayer h-BN as an insulating layer. Large-area, multilayer h-BN realized in this work will provide an excellent platform for developing practical applications of 2D materials.. |
| 38. | Hyun Goo Ji, Mina Maruyama, Adha Sukma Aji, Susumu Okada, Kazunari Matsuda, Hiroki Ago, Van der Waals interaction-induced photoluminescence weakening and multilayer growth in epitaxially aligned WS2, Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 10.1039/c8cp04418j, 20, 47, 29790-29797, 2018.01, [URL], Recently, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have attracted great interest due to their unique electronic and optical properties. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has been regarded as the most promising method for the synthesis of large-area TMDCs with high reproducibility. Having similar hexagonal crystal structures with many TMDCs, c-plane sapphire is commonly used as a growth substrate in CVD. However, few studies have been reported on the influence of the sapphire substrate on the growth behavior and physical properties of TMDCs. In this work, we demonstrate that higher strain is induced in epitaxially grown WS2 grains via van der Waals interactions with sapphire as compared with misaligned WS2 grains. In addition, this strain was found to enhance overlayer deposition on monolayer WS2, while multilayer growth was not observed in non-epitaxial WS2. Photoluminescence (PL) of the epitaxially grown WS2 grains was reduced, reflecting the effective van der Waals interaction with sapphire. Moreover, low-temperature PL measurements revealed strong influence of the c-plane sapphire surface on the optical properties of WS2. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation supports that the aligned WS2 grains are more strongly bound to the sapphire surface, as compared with misaligned WS2. Our work offers a new insight into the understanding of the influence of the substrate on the CVD-grown TMDC materials.. |
| 39. | Kenshiro Suenaga, Hyun Goo Ji, Yung Chang Lin, Tom Vincent, Mina Maruyama, Adha Sukma Aji, Yoshihiro Shiratsuchi, Dong Ding, Kenji Kawahara, Susumu Okada, Vishal Panchal, Olga Kazakova, Hiroki Hibino, Kazu Suenaga, Hiroki Ago, Surface-Mediated Aligned Growth of Monolayer MoS2 and In-Plane Heterostructures with Graphene on Sapphire, ACS nano, 10.1021/acsnano.8b04612, 2018.01, [URL], Aligned growth of transition metal dichalcogenides and related two-dimensional (2D) materials is essential for the synthesis of high-quality 2D films due to effective stitching of merging grains. Here, we demonstrate the controlled growth of highly aligned molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) on c-plane sapphire with two distinct orientations, which are highly controlled by tuning sulfur concentration. We found that the size of the aligned MoS2 grains is smaller and their photoluminescence is weaker as compared with those of the randomly oriented grains, signifying enhanced MoS2-substrate interaction in the aligned grains. This interaction induces strain in the aligned MoS2, which can be recognized from their high susceptibility to air oxidation. The surface-mediated MoS2 growth on sapphire was further developed to the rational synthesis of an in-plane MoS2-graphene heterostructure connected with the predefined orientation. The in-plane epitaxy was observed by low-energy electron microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy suggest the alignment of a zigzag edge of MoS2 parallel to a zigzag edge of the neighboring graphene. Moreover, better electrical contact to MoS2 was obtained by the monolayer graphene compared with a conventional metal electrode. Our findings deepen the understanding of the chemical vapor deposition growth of 2D materials and also contribute to the tailored synthesis as well as applications of advanced 2D heterostructures.. |
| 40. | Dong Ding, Hiroki Hibino, Hiroki Ago, Grain Boundaries and Gas Barrier Property of Graphene Revealed by Dark-Field Optical Microscopy, Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 10.1021/acs.jpcc.7b10210, 122, 1, 902-910, 2018.01, [URL], We demonstrate that dark-field (DF) optical microscopy is a powerful tool to visualize grain boundaries (GBs) and grain structure of graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Copper oxide nanoparticles sparsely formed along the graphene GBs by postgrowth mild oxidation allow one to determine the position and structure of the GBs by the DF microscope. As DF imaging offers a much higher sensitivity than bright-field (BF) microscopy, some GBs were observed even without the postgrowth oxidation. We found that periodic Cu steps formed below graphene can be also used to visualize the grain structure of the as-grown graphene by DF microscopy. Moreover, DF imaging is applicable to study of the gas barrier property of CVD graphene. Interestingly, the dissolved oxygen inside Cu foil enhanced oxidation of the Cu surface below graphene in spite of the fact that the graphene protects the underlying Cu from the exterior gas. Our work highlights the wide availability of DF optical microscopy in characterizing graphene and related two-dimensional materials grown on metal substrates.. |

The change in surface color and the formation of Cu oxide are investigated by optical microscopy (OM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. First-principle simulation is performed to understand the mechanisms underlying the barrier properties of SLG against O diffusion. The correlation between Cu oxide thickness and SLG quality are also analyzed by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) measured on a non-uniform SLG film. SLG with large grains shows high performance in preventing the Cu oxidation due to moisture during ADT.. |

Okazaki, Imaging of local structures affecting electrical transport properties of large graphene sheets by lock-in thermography, Science Advances, 10.1126/sciadv.aau3407, 5, 2, 2019.02, [URL], The distribution of defects and dislocations in graphene layers has become a very important concern with regard to the electrical and electronic transport properties of device applications. Although several experiments have shown the influence of defects on the electrical properties of graphene, these studies were limited to measuring microscopic areas because of their long measurement times. Here, we successfully imaged various local defects in a large area of chemical vapor deposition graphene within a reasonable amount of time by using lock-in thermography (LIT). The differences in electrical resistance caused by the micrometer-scale defects, such as cracks and wrinkles, and atomic-scale domain boundaries were apparent as nonuniform Joule heating on polycrystalline and epitaxially grown graphene. The present results indicate that LIT can serve as a fast and effective method of evaluating the quality and uniformity of large graphene films for device applications.. |

However, various issues remain unsolved. In particular, high-density carrier doping within a short time by a simple method, and air stability of doped graphene films, are highly desirable. Here, we demonstrate a solution-based high-density (>1014 cm−2) hole doping approach that promises to push the performance limit of graphene films. The reaction of graphene films with a tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate salt, containing a two-coordinate boron cation, achieves doping within an extremely short time (4 s), and the doped graphene films are air stable for at least 31 days. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals that the graphene films are covered by the chemically stable anions, resulting in an improved stability in air. Moreover, the doping reduces the transmittance by only 0.44 ± 0.23%. The simplicity of the doping process offers a viable route to the large-scale production of functional graphene electrodes.. |

SLG with large grain size were stacked on Cu surfaces coated with CVD-SLG to cover the grain-boundaries and defective areas of the underneath SLG film, which was confirmed to be oxidized by Raman spectroscopy measurements. To evaluate the humidity resistance of the graphene-coated Cu surfaces, temperature humidity storage (THS) testing was conducted under accelerated oxidation conditions (85 °C and 85% relative humidity) for 100 h. The color changes of the Cu surfaces during THS testing were observed by optical microscopy, while the oxidized Cu into Cu 2 O and CuO was detected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The experimental results were accord with the results of first-principle simulation for the energetic barrier against water diffusion through the stacked graphene layers with different overlap. The results demonstrate the efficiency of SLG stacking approach against moisture for Cu metallization.. |

Owing to the wide availability of water and the rising demand for clean energy sources, the direct electricity generation from liquid motion by low-dimensional materials such as graphene has gained much interest. Electricity generation is induced by the motion of an electric double layer at the interface between the liquid droplet and solid surface. However, the output voltage with materials such as graphene is still limited to several hundred millivolts. In this report, we present a large-area single-layer MoS2 film grown by chemical vapor deposition as a nanogenerator, which is capable of generating a large output voltage of more than 5 V from the motion of an aqueous NaCl droplet. Our findings indicate that the high shunt resistance of MoS2 results in a large generated voltage. Furthermore, we demonstrate the possibility to scale up the MoS2 nanogenerator by arranging them in series and parallel connections, which respectively increase the output voltage and current, with a three-times increase with an array of three MoS2 nanogenerators. Our work opens the application of single-layer MoS2 for harvesting electricity from the dynamic movement of liquid, such as the capability to harvest ocean wave energy, which is also demonstrated here.. |

However, in most cases, CVD-grown TMDC sheets are composed of randomly oriented grains, and thus contain many distorted grain boundaries (GBs) which deteriorate the physical properties of the TMDC. Here, we demonstrate the epitaxial growth of monolayer tungsten disulfide (WS2) on sapphire by introducing a high concentration of hydrogen during the CVD process. As opposed to the randomly oriented grains obtained in conventional growth, the presence of H2 resulted in the formation of triangular WS2 grains with the well-defined orientation determined by the underlying sapphire substrate. Photoluminescence of the aligned WS2 grains was significantly suppressed compared to that of the randomly oriented grains, indicating a hydrogen-induced strong coupling between WS2 and the sapphire surface that has been confirmed by density functional theory calculations. Scanning transmission electron microscope observations revealed that the epitaxially grown WS2 has less structural defects and impurities. Furthermore, sparsely distributed unique dislocations were observed between merging aligned grains, indicating an effective stitching of the merged grains. This contrasts with the GBs that are observed between randomly oriented grains, which include a series of 8-, 7-, and alternating 7/5-membered rings along the GB. The GB structures were also found to have a strong impact on the chemical stability and carrier transport of merged WS2 grains. Our work offers a novel method to grow high-quality TMDC sheets with much less structural defects, contributing to the future development of TMDC-based electronic and photonic applications.. |

Au/TiO2 photocatalysts with an Au : Ti atomic ratio of 1.5±0.1% : 98.5±0.1% were prepared by using a microwave-polyol method in the presence of P25 TiO2. Initial degradation rates of MO by TiO2 and Au/TiO2 were 0.13 and 0.22 min−1 at pH 7, whereas they increased to 0.96 and 3.06 min−1 at pH 2, respectively. These results indicate that the MO degradation rates are enhanced by loading Au nanoparticles on TiO2 in neutral and acidic solutions by factors of 1.7 and 3.2, respectively. Mass spectroscopic studies lead us to conclude that major reaction products are formed by demethylation and OH addition of benzenoid form of MO in neutral solutions, whereas they are produced through ring opening and carboxylation of quinonoid form of MO after scission of a center N-NH bond in acidic solutions. The relative importance of electron trapping and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effects of Au nanoparticles is discussed for the enhancement of photocatalytic activity of Au/TiO2.. |

After the first CVD growth of triangular WS2 (MoS2) grains, the second CVD step was performed to grow square SnS grains on the same substrate. We found that these SnS grains can be grown at very low temperature with the substrate temperature of 200 °C. Most of the SnS grains nucleated from the side edges of WS2 (MoS2) grains, resulting in the formation of partly stacked heterostructures with a large overlapping area. The SnS grains showed doped p-type transfer character with a hole mobility of 15 cm2 V-1 s-1, while the WS2 and MoS2 grains displayed n-type character with a high on/off ratio of >106. The SnS-WS2 and SnS-MoS2 heterostructures exhibited clear rectifying behavior, signifying the formation of p-n junctions at their interfaces. This heterostructure growth combined with the low temperature SnS growth will provide a promising means to exploit two-dimensional heterostructures by avoiding possible damage to the first material.. |

To overcome this problem, a new approach is developed here that uses chemical vapor deposition grown multilayer graphene (MLG) sheets as flexible electrodes for WS2 field-effect transistors. The gate-tunable Fermi level, van der Waals interaction with the WS2, and the high electrical conductivity of MLG significantly improve the overall performance of the devices. The carrier mobility of single-layer WS2 increases about a tenfold (50 cm2 V−1 s−1 at room temperature) by replacing conventional Ti/Au metal electrodes (5 cm2 V−1 s−1) with the MLG electrodes. Further, by replacing the conventional SiO2 substrate with a thin (1 µm) parylene-C flexible film as insulator, flexible WS2 photodetectors that are able to sustain multiple bending stress tests without significant performance degradation are realized. The flexible photodetectors exhibited extraordinarily high gate-tunable photoresponsivities, reaching values of 4500 A W−1, and with very short (2, graphene, and the very thin polymer film will find applications in various flexible electronics, such as wearable high-performance optoelectronics devices.. |

However, intercalation is mostly demonstrated with small, exfoliated graphene flakes. This study demonstrates intercalation of molybdenum chloride (MoCl5) into a large-area, uniform BLG sheet, which is grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). This study reveals that the degree of MoCl5 intercalation strongly depends on the stacking order of the graphene; twist-stacked graphene shows a much higher degree of intercalation than AB-stacked. Density functional theory calculations suggest that weak interlayer coupling in the twist-stacked graphene contributes to the effective intercalation. By selectively synthesizing twist-rich BLG films through control of the CVD conditions, low sheet resistance (83 Ω ▫−1) is realized after MoCl5 intercalation, while maintaining high optical transmittance (≈95%). The low sheet resistance state is relatively stable in air for more than three months. Furthermore, the intercalated BLG film is applied to organic solar cells, realizing a high power conversion efficiency.. |

Such heterostructures not only overcome the inherent limitations of each of the materials, but also allow the realization of novel properties by their proper combination. The physical and mechanical properties of graphene mean it has a prominent place in the area of 2D heterostructures. In this review, we will discuss the evolution and current state in the synthesis and applications of graphene-based 2D heterostructures. In addition to stacked and in-plane heterostructures with other 2D materials and their potential applications, we will also cover heterostructures realized with lower dimensionality materials, along with intercalation in few-layer graphene as a special case of a heterostructure.

Here, the behavior of the copper oxide layer and its impact on the graphene growth have been investigated. We found that a small amount of oxygen dissolves into the Cu when the oxide layer decomposes during the heating up in a non-reducing Ar environment. The remaining oxygen in the Cu foil can play an important role in decreasing the graphene nucleation density. The dissolved oxygen can withstand at high temperatures even in reducing H2 environments without completely losing its effectiveness for maintaining a low graphene nucleation density. However, heating up in a H2 environment significantly reduces the copper oxide layer during the very first moments of the process at low temperatures, preventing the oxygen to dissolve into the Cu and significantly increasing the nucleation density. These findings will help to improve the graphene growth on Cu catalyst by increasing the grain size while decreasing the grain density.. |

It can be stacked with other two-dimensional (2D) materials through van der Waals interactions to form layered heterostructures. These properties promise its application as an insulating layer of novel 2D electronic devices due to its atomically smooth surface with a large band gap. Herein, we demonstrated the ambient-pressure chemical vapour deposition (CVD) growth of high-quality, large-area monolayer h-BN on a Cu(111) thin film deposited on a c-plane sapphire using ammonia borane (BH3NH3) as the feedstock. Highly oriented triangular h-BN grains grow on Cu(111), which finally coalescence to cover the entire Cu surface. Low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) measurements indicated that the hexagonal lattice of the monolayer h-BN is well-oriented along the underlying Cu(111) lattice, thus implying the epitaxial growth of h-BN, which can be applied in various 2D electronic devices.. |

In addition, the postgrowth patterning used for device fabrication deteriorates the quality of graphene. Herein we demonstrate the site-selective nucleation of single-crystal graphene on Cu foil based on spatial control of the local CH4 concentration by a perforated Ni foil. The catalytically active Ni foil acts as a CH4 modulator, resulting in millimeter-scale single-crystal grains at desired positions. The perforated Ni foil also allows to synthesize patterned graphene without any postgrowth processing. Furthermore, the uniformity of monolayer graphene is significantly improved when a plain Ni foil is placed below the Cu. Our findings offer a facile and effective way to control the nucleation of high-quality graphene, meeting the requirements of industrial processing.. |

However, the correlations between the transport characteristics and the spin states of charge carriers or atomic vacancies in graphene have not yet been fully elucidated. Here, we show the spin states of single-layer graphene to clarify the correlations using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy as a function of accumulated charge density using transistor structures. Two different electrically induced ESR signals were observed. One is originated from a Fermi-degenerate two-dimensional electron system, demonstrating the first observation of electrically induced Pauli paramagnetism from a microscopic viewpoint, showing a clear contrast to no ESR observation of Pauli paramagnetism in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) due to a one-dimensional electron system. The other is originated from the electrically induced ambipolar spin vanishments due to atomic vacancies in graphene, showing a universal phenomenon for carbon materials including CNTs. The degenerate electron system with the ambipolar spin vanishments would contribute to high charge mobility due to the decrease in spin scatterings in graphene.. |

In contrast to the normal routes, a gas etching process is used to create a deep trench in silicon for suspending the whole graphene device in a much larger area. User-designed electrodes or sensors are fabricated on the suspended graphene at the same time for realizing multiple functions. In this work, a suspended gold nanofilm sensor is designed to measure the intrinsic electrical and thermal properties of graphene on site. The sensor serves as both electrode and precise resistance thermometer at the same time. By simply changing the metallic electrode shape and electrical circuit, the free-standing graphene can be made into different devices, such as single-molecule detector or nano-resonator. In order to test the robustness of graphene device, a high electrical current is applied to heat the graphene in vacuum until it breaks. The breakdown current density is measured to be 1.86 mA/μm. More importantly, this method is not only limited to graphene, but also can be applied to any other two-dimensional materials.. |

Here we demonstrate the synthesis of a highly uniform BLG film by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) over epitaxial Cu-Ni (111) binary alloy catalysts. The relative concentration of Ni and Cu as well as the growth temperature and cooling profile was found to strongly influence the uniformity of the BLG. In particular, a slow cooling process after switching off the carbon feedstock is important for obtaining a uniform second layer, covering more than 90% of the total area. Moreover, low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) study revealed the second layer grows underneath the first layer. We also investigated the stacking order by Raman spectroscopy and LEEM and found that 70-80% of bilayer graphene has Bernal stacking. The metastable 30°-rotated orientations were also observed both in the upper and lower layers. From our experimental observations, a new growth mode is proposed; the first layer grows during the CH4 supply on Cu-Ni alloy surface, while the second layer is segregated from the bulk alloy during the cooling process. Our work highlights the growth mechanism of BLG and offers a promising route to synthesize uniform and large-area BLG for future electronic devices.. |

At room temperature, the values are about 240 000 Ω-1 m-1 and 2100 W m-1 K-1 for the electrical and thermal conductivities, respectively. Based on the Wiedemann-Franz law, the electrons have negligible contribution to the thermal conductivity of graphene, while the in-plane LA and TA modes phonons are the dominant heat carriers. In monolayer graphene, the absence of layer-layer and layer-substrate interactions enhances the contribution of long wave-length phonons to the heat transport and increases the thermal conductivity accordingly. The reported method and experimental data of suspended monolayer graphene are useful for understanding the basic physics and designing the future graphene electronic devices.. |

This absorption decrease shows the existence of a two-step excitation process of carriers, in which one-photon absorption and Auger recombination sequentially occur. This process results from the linear dispersion nature of monolayer graphene. In addition, the monolayer graphene shows the ultrafast decay of carrier population. The observed properties are of importance for ultrafast optical switching utilizing the optical nonlinearity induced by carrier excitation.. |

The catalytic activity was enhanced by a factor of 1.5-1.6 under UV and visible (vis) photoirradiation at room temperature for both TiO2 supports. It was explained by the formation of an electron-rich Pd shell because of the migration of photogenerated electrons from the TiO2 surface. The catalytic activity of Ag93Pd7@Pd/TiO2 (A) was 1.7-7.3 times higher than that of Ag93Pd7@Pd/TiO2 (P) without and under photoirradiation at 27-90 °C. The catalytic activity of Ag93Pd7@Pd/TiO2 (A) under photoirradiation at 27 °C with 468 mmol H2 g per catalyst per h, is the best value ever reported out of all of the heterogeneous catalysts using TiO2 (A) as a photocatalyst at room temperature.. |

Here, the key challenge is to suspend a single-layer graphene (SLG) and drill nanopores with precise dimensions. Here, we report a simple and reliable route for making suspended fluorinated SLG with size-tunable nanopores. Our method consists of two steps: 1. a free-standing SLG ribbon was created between two gold pads after deep dry etching of silicon substrate by xenon difluoride. The SLG was fluorinated by 5-13%. Superior to the normal wet etching method, the dry etching process is much simpler and results in less hole-defect and edge deformation. A large area fluorinated SLG can be suspended due to the sufficient etch depth. 2. a focused ion beam was introduced to drill nanopores in graphene with an initial diameter around 20 nm. Followed by an electron beam induced carbon deposition, the diameter of nanopore was gradually decreased to sub-10 nm. By changing the deposition time, the size of nanopore can be precisely controlled. High-cost transmission electron microscope is no longer needed. Our method provides a simple and effective way for preparing free-standing fluorinated SLG ribbon suitable for single-molecule detection.. |

We report electric gate tuning of the spin-charge conversion voltage signal in single-layer graphene. Using spin pumping from an yttrium iron garnet ferrimagnetic insulator and ionic liquid top gate, we determined that the inverse spin Hall effect is the dominant spin-charge conversion mechanism in single-layer graphene. From the gate dependence of the electromotive force we showed the dominance of the intrinsic over Rashba spin-orbit interaction, a long-standing question in graphene research.. |

Given the difficulty in growing perfect large single-crystals of 2D materials, revealing the presence and characteristics of grain boundaries becomes an important issue for practical applications. Here, we present a method to visualize the grain structure and boundaries of 2D materials by epitaxially growing transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) over them. Triangular single-crystals of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) epitaxially grown on the surface of graphene allowed us to determine the orientation and size of the graphene grains. Grain boundaries in the polycrystalline graphene were also visualized reflecting their higher chemical reactivity than the basal plane. The method was successfully applied to graphene field-effect transistors, revealing the actual grain structures of the graphene channels. Moreover, we demonstrate that this method can be extended to determine the grain structure of other 2D materials, such as tungsten disulfide (WS2). Our visualization method based on van der Waals epitaxy can offer a facile and large-scale labeling technique to investigate the grain structures of various 2D materials, and it will also contribute to understand the relationship between their grain structure and physical properties.. |

However, due to the difficulty in suspending large-area single-layer graphene (SLG) and limited temperature sensitivity of the present probing methods, the correlation between the defects and thermal conductivity of SLG is still unclear. In this work, we developed a new method for fabricating micro-sized suspended SLG. Subsequently, a focused ion beam (FIB) was used to create nanohole defects in SLG and tune the heat transport. The thermal conductivity of the same SLG before and after FIB radiation was measured using a novel T-type sensor method on site in a dual-beam system. The nanohole defects decreased the thermal conductivity by about 42%. It was found that the smaller width and edge scrolling also had significant restriction on the thermal conductivity of SLG. Based on the calculation results through a lattice dynamics theory, the increase of edge roughness and stronger scattering on long-wavelength acoustic phonons are the main reasons for the reduction in thermal conductivity. This work provides reliable data for understanding the heat transport in a defective SLG membrane, which could help on the future design of graphene-based electrothermal devices.. |

Here, we demonstrate the gate-tunable doping effect of adsorbed piperidine on graphene. By gradually increasing the amount of adsorbed piperidine, the graphene doping level can be varied from p-to n-type, with the formation of p-n junctions for intermediate coverages. Moreover, the doping effect of the piperidine can be further tuned by the application of large negative back-gate voltages, which increase the doping level of graphene. In addition, the electronic properties of graphene are well preserved due to the noncovalent nature of the interaction between piperidine and graphene. This gate-tunable doping offers an easy, controllable, and nonintrusive method to alter the electronic structure of graphene.. |
