While solution processing offers simplicity and cost advantages for polymer‐based OLEDs, vacuum thermal evaporation (VTE) remains the dominant method for the commercial production of high‐performance small‐molecule OLEDs, owing to its precise control over film thickness, material purity, and multilayer integration. However, to meet the demands of display applications for higher performance, lower cost and more diverse forms (such as flexibility and high resolution), it is crucial to continuously optimize the VTE process. Meanwhile, although solution processing remains the predominant approach for perovskite light‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs), recent exploratory efforts have investigated VTE as an alternative route, thereby opening opportunities to transfer process insights from OLEDs to PeLEDs.

While thermal annealing is a common post‐synthesis technique for tuning the properties of 2D materials, its application in InSe is hindered by the complex interplay between defect evolution and phase transitions. In this work, a low‐temperature, high‐vacuum annealing strategy is introduced that allows for fine‐tuned regulation of selenium vacancies, enabling significant optoelectronic improvements while suppressing unwanted phase transitions. By performing measurements on InSe optoelectronic devices throughout the vacuum annealing process, it is demonstrated that vacuum annealing can serve as an n‐type doping, coupled with the enhancement of mobility (from 1.2 to 276 cm<jats:sup>2</jats:sup> V<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> s<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>) and photoresponsivity (from 1000 to 2.3 × 10<jats:sup>4</jats:sup> A W<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>). Through thermodynamic hypothesis and semi‐quantitative X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results, a direct correlation is established between these performance improvements and the controlled increase of Se vacancy concentration (from ≈2% to ≈7%). Based on this, a band diagram model is proposed to explain the change of charge transport and photocurrent generation processes in InSe devices. This work establishes defect engineering as a critical standalone parameter for optimizing InSe device performance, offering both theoretical insights and practical guidelines for the fabrication of high‐performance InSe functional devices.","PeriodicalId":110,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Electronic Materials","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145295166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Benefiting from high‐density storage and fast access to 2D data, optical encryption shows significant promise for data protection. Metasurfaces, as a type of 2D artificial metamaterials capable of precisely controlling electromagnetic waves, have greatly advanced the development of multi‐channel optical encryption. However, many existing metasurface‐based optical encryption devices are limited by static operation and stringent requirements on materials or light sources. Here, a 46‐channel image encryption device is proposed, integrated with optically controlled metasurfaces to achieve dynamically tunable and high‐capacity optical encryption. An efficient binary amplitude‐phase inverse‐design method is developed that enables high performance optical encryption by incorporating binary amplitude distributions into an isotropic phase metasurface. This approach imposes minimal additional requirements on the light source or the metasurface. Experimental demonstrations using an infrared‐pump/terahertz‐probe imaging system confirm the effectiveness and robustness of the encryption device, highlighting its potential for advanced and flexible optical encryption applications.","PeriodicalId":110,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Electronic Materials","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145295165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the demonstration of CaSnO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> power electronic devices is so far limited.
